So many young/new writers are eager to express themselves, and so many others are willing to make a buck off that simple desire. Keep sticking up for yourself. Hi Susan,

You’re right about the way in which many online sites are exploiting writers and their content. So many young/new writers are eager to express themselves, and so many others are willing to make a buck off that simple desire.

Keep sticking up for yourself.

I know I have money in my PayPal account but the change in terms made me stop writing. Besides, according to their publishing terms, they owned the content and rights to distribute it elsewhere, etc. It was a good way to get presence on Google back in the day but writer beware and read before your write. They never paid well but when they went to pay per click and the shenanigans I scooted. I stopped writing for Associated Content years ago because a change in payment terms.
