'Indeed, the more time one spends on the site, the more likely they are to get news there.'"

Irrelevant -- guilt baiting is not a good argument strategy

happens to be discovered by the right publisher

probably worked very hard for no income before being discovered, and trades their privacy and anonymity for their success

or otherwise happens upon a lucky break

Life isn't fair. You can't make it fair. Sorry for the truth.

doesn't have proportionate "previous work".
