Article writing help: what's the best word for freelancers working online?

Deni: For once This Old Man hit this just right.

I earlier used the term exploitation, but that was very one sided. I blame uneducated writers just as much as uneducated buyers. Both do not realize they are actual losing money on each and every transaction.

His term" entightened ones" brings visualization.

Here you have a buyer of articles strangleholding writers into less than cheap. However when bottom line profits are shown, the seller has entightened himself. He LOST money, over $1,000 in more profits would have been obtained by hiring a quality writer.
