@invisiblegorilla I think this post maybe a little misinterpreted. This is just to demonstrate the numbers not a demonstration or a comparison of work. But mainly to get the conversation going a little more as to what is actually valued.
You are right he has decades behind him and an existing audience. No question about that. There is little comparison.
The only issue I have with what he has posted about, is it hasn't been about anything really enlightening or eye opening. If the posts were more informative other than social commentary on his own posts, then I'm sure they are worth the dollar amount for each word.
The community is growing and with that I will still post :) Thanks for sharing! Food for thought. :)
