DA I am all for compensating people for labor, but this isn't about profit or not profit. We are all here doing this as a labor of love. I would hazard that a significant amount of people who do yuletide do not have the ability to pay for readers/editors/anything for their fic. Your argument essentially says that if you don't have money to pay someone, you shouldn't be writing fanfiction. That feels like a very weird take in a fandom space.
