They do pay me for it actually, in in-game currency, as part of the same content creator program they use to reward fan artists and streamers and such. In the lonely "why bother" moments, it's all that keeps me editing.
That's somehow even worse.
What's the conversion rate between the dollars you are making them and the schrute bucks you are being paid ?
You deride the hobby by equating it to working for free, then you deride it even harder upon finding out it's paid. You're not asking these questions in good faith, and no answer I give you will satisfy you, so I'm not giving you one. Suffice to say I'm very happy with my compensation.
I enjoy the game, so it's money I would be spending out of my own pocket that I now don't have to. And at least half the time I enjoy the wiki editing - note the fact that I called it a hobby (hobbies are things we do for fun). I just miss the collaborative aspect of it all and have days when I feel down about being alone on it.
Not everything in life has to be a hustle. Some people actually do things because they like doing them.
