Someone (I admit having not a small curiosity as to whom) has gotten alice's dander up, and all 10,000 of her monkeys revved up their keyboards for a fine bit of rhetoric. Here's an excerpt:

The bottom line is, once you're getting paid to post about something, you stop doing it for the sake of communication -- or for the love of writing, or to keep your friends and family informed, or whatever it was that motivated you when you first started your blog -- and it instead becomes ... well, something you're paid to do. I'm bombarded with enough advertising everywhere I turn in life, from the ads inside the doors of bathroom stalls to those stupid previews that I'm forced to watch on DVDs -- I'm not going to subject myself to even more of it now by clicking over to your blog...

Now go read the whole thing.
