Why would you say something like that?
Because it shows the utter pointlessness of MyWikiBiz, an attempt for him to
make money by writing supportive articles on his clients. As the header
says, "get paid to edit ethically" and that means that both the payments and
the edits are ethical, as opposed to MyWikiBiz when they were neither.
It is conceivable that something like MyWikiBiz could have been done
ethically.
However the temptations that such a business would create would likely
corrupt
even some of the most upstanding individuals. Kohs had trouble seeing the
problems that it could present and moreover when he saw them didn't seem to
care much. However, that doesn't mean we should want him to be "sick".
Indeed,
I hope he finds something better to do with his time than keep obsessing with
Wikipedia.
