Disagree.

People get upset with bloggers because they are monetizing information freely available on FT to audiences so big that they affect the programs and individual situational outcomes.

That they are taking cash for carving up the goose that lays golden eggs.

Analogy: I'm sitting on the beach in Negril, Jamaica right now. Same stretch of beach I've been visiting for decades. 30 years ago it was paradise. Today there is a Margaritaville next door and it's just a bit of a hot mess. I'm not jealous of Jimmy Buffet for his success. I'm angry at him for taking a sh!t on paradise so he can make a few more bucks.
