People are sharing this RIGHTEOUS ANGER about Huffington Post not paying contributors

So James Bloodworth is an author and he’s just been asked to write something for the HuffPost and he’s said no in a really quite clever way, which both makes a point about what he writes about AND promotes his book:

Over 2000 people have shared his tweetstorm – so take it away James:

1) I’ve just written a book on difficulty working class kids have breaking into the professions because of proliferation of unpaid work…

2) Huffington Post contacted me saying it sounded interesting. They asked me to write something…

3) Unfortunately they wouldn’t be able to pay me, however – despite being a multi-billion dollar company.

4) So here’s my article: ‘You are part of the problem, @HuffingtonPost’. The End.

And the book title?

Maybe the HuffPost should read it…
