When you start a company, or a business, you don't start with volunteers. People want to be paid for their time. We started a business, there was no way in hell people would have volunteered to work for us with the promise that we can eventually pay them!! No way!! That's not how you start a company. WE didn't get paid, as we owned the business, however there's no WAY anyone would have worked for us and not gotten paid. Just want to clear that up.
First off, I have started a business and you know what? I paid the employees because I got work that pays me, and I in turn could pay them. Then I expanded to more employees as I accrue more work. That's how business works.
More to the point, I'm speaking more of journalism and media upstart in which you can incorporate volunteers, and freelancers.
And I'm not even saying O'Keefe shouldn't all for money... I'm more defending the poster who got shit on.
Also, as far as I know, when you start a business,you pay the people, I don't. That's the issue that was brought up. My volunteer statement is in lieu of asking for money.
