> People have to make a living, that’s capitalism for you.

What does making a living have to do with capitalism? What a strange thing to say.

I don’t understand how this is confusing or otherwise perplexing. People can’t just spend years doing this stuff for free, I’m sure we both know this and it’s strange for you to pretend otherwise.

We don’t have a system that provides for that unless you’re incredibly privileged/financially set already.

I should have been more clear. The entire world doesn’t practice capitalism. You’re projecting that idea like it’s true, it isn’t.

She’s a US citizen living in the US writing for a US publication about a US-based company and being challenged in the US legal system. The US is a capitalist nation.

I do not understand where your objection is coming from.
