DK disclosed that the Trib was paying him just north of 6 figs before he cut ties and started the DKPS Empire.
6 figs is nothing these days with skyrocketing inflation and COL. Hell a bunch of kids fresh out of college are either close to or just about making that much already. Got a younger cousin who’s 24 and making $120k as a pharmacist. Stupid money for being that age.
Pharmacists are not in competition with randoms on reddit legally filling prescriptions for free--and outnumbered by them 10 thousand to 1.
Pharmacist is a highly technical profession with a high barriers to entry (licensing, educational) offering a service required by an ever growing number of people. This is a profession in which leverage is heavily skewed towards labor.
Newspaper journalist is the complete opposite of all that. Kovacevic's background is in, what, A/R clerk or something? James Mirtle became a beat writer for the Leafs by knocking off college classes to sit in his dorm and write an online diary. And the number of people reading a newspaper shrinks every single day, while the number of people willing to chime in for free grows.
