That's pretty clear. I start from "work should be financially incentivized" as evidenced by, well, the world around us. Then you argue that writing is very special (maybe a form of art, and many artists are hobbyists). To which I reply that while writing could be considered a form of art, the kind of books I read (and sometimes write) require hundreds of hours of work (that could be very satisfying, for sure). The enormous time investment means that you either get money for it in some way or you don't do as much of it as you'd want to, because you need to get a paying job to survive.
