I'm far from the only person who feels people should get paid for their work if they add value to the lives of others or this article wouldn't exist.

Some people know how to add value and don't know how to turn that into an income and if they desperately need income and everybody wants their work but nobody pays them, it's extremely infuriating and crazy making.

Then they should ask for it.

"I give my software away for free and no one pays me for my work."

Your argument makes no sense.

Some of them do ask for it. And it does little or nothing.
I'm a writer and a blogger. Newspapers are dying. If you put ads on your site, people use ad blockers. People find ways around pay walls. Etc.
Sometimes you can't somehow magically control the fact that people won't pay you.

  Then you work on something else that the world wants to pay for or you continue doing something you love and no one wants. The world doesn't owe you anything.

  The world might not owe anyone anything but the world is worse of if people only do whatever is the most profitable for them.
