Ariana Huffington made her money, in part, by relying on bloggers to fill her pages with stories, bloggers she does not pay.I'm strongly considering not submitting posts any longer. I don't need to self promote and I certainly don't want to make the rich richer.
(Steve Colbert really ripped into her this week about using him without paying him.)

I ignored the requests from the HuffPost. My audience is far smaller, but actually wants to read what I write. And, at my blog I am not on an equal stage with people with whom I violently disagree.
I do feel similarly about those who post at Gotham Schools. I understand that they want to reach many more people, but I am uneasy about the role they end up playing in promoting GS itself, esp. with its stealthy pro-charter orientation.

I'm with you 100%.

It sounds like my story. Asked by HuffPost and declaimed and not asked by Gotham Schools. However, I think I am more comfortable blogging on my blog only.
