You are only believable in your beliefs imo if you don't try to sell them to followers.
Ever been to a church? It goes like this: "Here's some beliefs....now here's the collection plate. Give us ten percent of all the money you made last week. Not net, either, but the gross." They say it's going to God, but he already has literally everything there is; so they keep it instead. Tax free, too, unlike the Q researchers and decoders.
How the idea that making money is bad—even if done morally and ethically, without stealing or cheating—ever crept into this group I will never know. If people can't understand that others who make a vocation of devoting vast portions of their waking hours to this, for us to consume and share, still need to eat and feed their families, then that's OK. Personally I don't see anything wrong with getting paid to do stellar work that advances the cause of liberty, but we can agree to disagree.
