Well first off, people create articles and art despite not making money, you should do what you want to do because you like to do it if you like to make art and make money off if you can do it and if you can but I see a conflict of purpose as if your making art for art's sake it doesn't come with the prerequisite that it's not art if you don't make money, and if you like making money more than making art then maybe look into making money and not art, but lastly if you have a problem with people making more money by giving others exposure than I suppose you need to realize that it doesn't stop you from making art/articles AND curating good art and articles.
