I see this thread got a little off track this weekend. Back to the original topic.
I really don't care how much money these guys make or don't make. This has nothing to do with money. My point is if they have any pride in their work then they should proofread the articles before they are published. It doesn't take that much time, and I'm not talking about subtle grammar errors but glaring mistakes like repeating a word twice (a mistake that spell check will gloss over). These people are influencing money spent by consumers and if they expect the reader to take their comments seriously, then they owe those same readers a level of professionalism no matter if it's their fourth job and they haven't paid rent in 3 months.
