If I was a writer with a family to feed or even a cat, I would not spurn the big or even little bucks. Most authors do not aspire to change the world, or live like indentured servants for the good of society, any more than a lawyer, an accountant, pizza delivery guy or a grocery store clerk, who are more often paid better for their efforts.
