      Would it make sense to ask for a reciprocal fee to link to Paint.net (lower in the text)?

      "You can keep the link for $10k/$15k, though I am happy to consider it a payment for me to link to your article too."

      That’ll be $12000.

    For context, this guy is the author of paint.net (this wasn't obvious to me initially).

    So from the author’s reply, you can see that PCMag won. They got exactly what they wanted, and they would have in every scenario.

      Well, if they wanted me to have the unfortunate experience of reading Eric Griffith's bio and having an even lower opinion of their publication, it was a total success.

      Edit; oh people like DaVinci Resolve, how insightful. If this is the media replaced by an AI summary please accelerate the timeline.

    So they’re pulling the J.D. Power scam.
