Looking at a larger picture, are freelance writers such as bloggers victims of intellectual abuse and conspiracy by capitalist and advertisers? Until we ourselves become just like them?

In a way, our blogs are used as canvases to paint their glitzy ads on. Of course, with hosts like Blogger, you still have control whether you want ads on your site, and at the same time get some spare change. So I guess bloggers are in marketing game as much as they are, except they're an established corporation, and obviously have way more resources.

Without capitalism, there would be no blogging. Try to live in China for once.

I don't understand the question. In what way can bloggers be victims of private ownership of the means of their production?
