Of course you're not just typing, presumably, you're thinking through your arguments, etc. Unless you're TNT, then you're just exercising your fingers.

I'm pretty sure many posters on CB can write 250 words per minute.

250 words an hour? Is that a lot?

Google says the average person types 40 words per minute…soooo yeah. It’s fast

No.

Ah, didn’t catch that nuance on the first read. Definitely a distinction there

It is if you are writing 250/hour 24/7 and all of the words are coherent…

It isn't 24/7. The OP just took $17.50 and divided by $0.07, which is 250. So

They're not "typing" that article.

A quick search shows that it typically takes about 6-8 hours for the average

Let's say it takes them 7 hours. That is 286 words per hour, so about $20/hour

The people who write for them aren't doing it to make a living, is the answer.

What did I say that was incorrect?

No way $250K a year to type. Sorry, not buying the $0.07 a word he represents

It's not $0.07/word to simply type words. It's $0.07/word for an article that is

What makes that even funnier? $17.50 per hour is $36,400 per year, and my guess

No, that's the freelancer wage. The writer is not an employee.

I promise you, it takes more skill, knowledge, and effort to write an article
