Yeah, I'm not disparaging people making a profit from their work. I'm against people who produce utter and complete crap in the name of profits, and do it intentionally. It's one thing if you suck and don't know it. It's another if you do know it and do nothing to resolve the issue. I'm constantly and forever fighting to get better at my stuff, always learning new tricks, finding new ideas, etc. I never want to turn into a money focused hack.
If I had to chose between being paid millions to write a hack story, or getting pennies to write a good one, I'd take the later every time. What's the point of writing if you're just in it for the money? The money is nice, but it should never be your primary driving motivation. Being the best and entertaining people should be what you shoot for first, and the money should be a nice little acknowledgment that you have, and sort of a thank you from the fans for your hard work.
