FFS, skill deserves to be compensated, but the way you show or sell that skill makes the value change (and sometimes *gasp* that value may not be monetary).

But if you really think everyone deserve to be paid not matter what or how they do something, then please start sending donations (you decided of how much depending of what they do and their skills) through paypal to all your favorite fanfic writers/fanart artist/gift sets makers/icon makers/secret makers/etc. Since, you know, everything they do needs both time and skills that get polished over time.
