Yeah but everyone's looking to make a buck because it means they can spend more time on a topic they're so passionate they started a blog on the topic. Don't let money ruin things for you. Just because Ms Green Thumb is selling merch for her blog she started about gardening because she'd really like to be able to quit her job and do gardening full time. Those branded hats shouldn't automatically impugn the passion she has for gardening, it's just this attitude that money ruins everything when it shouldn't. well, not automatically anyway. But she'd rather be gardening than putting up with Tom, her kinda creepy boss at the accounting firm she's at. Going viral and selling merch is her only real way out of that. That or a lottery ticket.
