On the west coast, there are guys that live in the Pacific northwest that go to be "slave fishermen", that is, live on the boat for months, work without pay to get a percentage of the catch, usually don't have any insurance for one of the most dangerous jobs anywhere. They go because good catches mean getting paid in shares, not by the hour.
This social media news influence on article writing is stooping to the lowest levels to shamelessly draw attention, what they call "eyes on the page".
Can confirm ... did that for ten seasons.
Sometimes you make money... sometimes you dont.
