As a contributor at DU I would like my check sent to my bank account by direct deposit.

DemocraticUnderground.com Posters & Huffington Post

Sometimes some posters at the Democratic Underground concern me. Doesn't anyone find it strange that liberal and democratic posters are condemning a website for not paying content contributors on another website where they themselves are unpaid content contributors?


Granted, I could be wrong on this as I have been wrong before but don't we on the Left have bigger websites to flame than...

1. Analogy fail.

This is a message board, Huffington Post is not.

[Angry Dragon]

2. +1000

[chillspike]

3. No one is stopping you from posting quality content

There is a journal section at each member's disposal. Contributions to the journal section are featured on the main page.

[TransitJohn]

4. It's still a messageboard. What's your point?

Are you calling me out because my contributions to the community aren't of high enough quality to impress you? :wtf:

[chillspike]

5. And then there's this in the News section

"..Thousands of people use the DU Latest Breaking News forum as their primary source for news. Please do not "dilute" the forum by starting threads that are not news."

So it's not entirely a message board.

7. Look, what exactly are you arguing with me about?

The DU is a site comprised of many messageboards. Huffington Post is not. That's all I have stated. LBN is a BOARD for discussing news items. R/T is a BOARD for discussing religion and/or theology. GD is a BOARD for discussing anything, really. Do you disagree?

[chillspike]

6. Btw, not trying to be a dick

just think we should maintain some consistency here.

[TransitJohn]

9. Ha.

Good stuff. Keep it coming.

[Occulus]

8. Again- FAIL- the admins do not choose the featured content

DU doesn't have "front pagers", even like at Kos

[chillspike]

11. So the issue is just a matter of format?

How the content is presented? We're submitting content and the the people at Huffington Post are submitting content but it's only an issue of how that content is displayed? Okay.

10. Give it a rest

You've made your point. You didn't have to start a new OP

[chillspike]

12. Okay

[LawnKorn]

13. Sending your check failed

[rucky]

14. Post your account number

I'll see what I can do.

15. posting one's content for free on someone else's website is stupid. And I don't mean a discussion

on a discussion board. I mean opinion articles and "journals." The whole lie of "exposure" just underlines the stupidity -- what kind of "exposure" is it that you're giving away your work for free?

16. who would pay a nickel for 99.99% of the crap that gets posted here?

[madinmaryland]

17. What are you talking about??
