I used to think that political writing didn’t pay, until I saw the rates for non-political writing. Sweet merciful Christ:

IGN is looking for new freelancers to assist with the daily flow of stories in games, entertainment, tech, and science. $20 base rate per story. Sliding scale for heavier reporting. DM with an introduction and portfolio for details! pic.twitter.com/XXk0cZK5FT

PS: I recognize that IGN probably doesn’t have the budget to pay more. That does not absolve them of trying to get desperate people to write for them for essentially free.
