There is one great big advantage that writers-who-get-paid have over those who do it for love -- time to write in. The folks who earn enough money to live off of their writing are able to produce more output, simply by virtue of having more time to spend writing.
For any writer whose product I actually like, I'd much rather they participate in the traditional paid market. They'll be able to produce more of what I like. And that's a good thing.
