Can you point me out where I said that?

I don't give a rats ass about money, I play the game because I like it, I contributed to this site because I thought it had potential and I'm working on V3E where NO ONE gets money because I like doing what I do. Fuck me even if he did decide to pay us out, do you think I'd have the balls to claim a dime? Artists, referees, these are the guys with the hard jobs. Think before you try to turn this on me mate.
Oh what a pitiful response. No, my battle-station is unable to take screenshots as fast and continuously as you and Rogers1337 can spam the chats, but being a former semi-fan of Rogers, I've tried to strike up conversations with you two in chat. I do have a memory though.
And don't hide behind the "but I'm doing this for all the people who are *actually* awesome, not me I suck lol" bastardisation of the humblebrag method.
If you think a viable economical ecosystem is that one guy who occasionally rolls in to do monetised events gets to keep half of what the revenue is, without even considering the people working on his site 24/7 because they love the game, then recheck your values.
A financial ecosystem is one thing and one thing only; the economically motivated repetition of action.
You don't get that by spreading 5 Euros here or there, or by Ami sending signed thank you cards of himself in dirty underwear to the contributors. You get it by making it worth the while for event locomotives.
When you reach a certain age or get children and family, you
need money to justify doing even what you love for a considerable amount of time. Just about anyone can see that, but some people's emotions seems to keep them from including that in their reasoning.
