Please don't be nasty. If you disagree with OP's idea, that's great. Just don't call OP or the idea pathetic. There's nothing wrong with the idea of getting paid for one's work. Let the market decide--it's ultimately smarter than you (or me).

Sometimes a bad idea is just called a bad idea.

Sometimes a terrible idea is just called a terrible idea.

and sometimes a pathetic idea is just called a pathetic idea.

The idea was in no way pathetic, terrible, or bad.
