Again- another topic I'd be keen to weigh in on. While I'm not a professional
athlete, I am a professional writer and producer. This goes WAY beyond just
the athletes. Brands often will use content from people because it's free, and
undercut paid writers and researchers for free content. If the stuff they get
for free is better, than more power to them. But if it's just someone writing
poorly about their super sick bike experience and passing it off as great
content, it destroys any real creativity that comes from the media. Bottom
line: if you WORK for something and it's good, you should get paid for it.
