Follow the money?

It’s tiresome to keep reading/hearing the banal accusation that everyone or even a few are into ufology (the UFO phenomenon) to make money.

No one makes or has ever made real money by exploiting the enigma to make big bucks, not even the peripatetic (may he rest in peace) Stanton Friedman.
Ask the prolific writer Nick Redfern about money. It’s not his motivation for writing but a meager means of economic survival; his books just keeping his head above water.
Conference starters rarely break even when they set one up, and doing a spot for a TV show often only covers the expenses of the person asked to comment for a few minutes for a program.
Now I indulge my friend Zoam Chomsky because he’s consistent, ragging on everything UFO related; he has a fixation on the topic which is, for him, a bete noire.
But the plaint that UFO buffs are in it for the money is a canard that bores the hell out of me and almost every other UFO enthusiast.
No one makes money in the UFO field, that’s the only thing you can take to the bank.
But even if it were the case, so what?
So someone hopes to make a few dollars or does, who cares? It’s no big deal. This is America, the home of wayward capitalistic enterprises: YouTuber hooligans make millions engaged in insipid activities for “consumers” of the goods they promote or like,
sports people grabbing larger-than-sense salaries to dunk a basketball or kick a field goal, and musicians bringing home large rafts of “bacon” for ditties that grind the hell out of those who study and know or perform real music.
The system is rigged to accommodate those who know how to exploit it, and UFO folks are not among that crowd.
So give up the idea that Tom DeLonge, Luis Elizondo, or even millionaire Bigelow are in it for the loot, let alone the poor saps who keep trying to make a buck off UFOs.
That’s no crime and not even a moral or ethical lapse.
Just shut up about it. It’s not relevant to anything. It isn’t.
