I disagree. Technical ease has nothing to do with monetization and it's extremely easy to set up.
Also, something technical can be extremely easy for the average HN reader and practically impossible for most people.
My entire argument isn't that it can be monetized easily (https://www.facebook.com/help/publisher/321041698514182 it can) but that there are dozens of EASY ways to publish things and do so freely.
It's literally dead simple.
If you make monetization hard, people will freely share their works. If you make it easy, they will monetize them. Monetizing is easier than it used to be, stopping people from sharing freely. That shouldn't be hard to understand.
