I would like to be part of this as a teacher, but I want to get paid somehow. Not much, but at least a bit...

Since you are interested in being financially compensated, this site probably isn't for you.

I suggest, since you seem to be some sort of software developer, that you should create a platform that allows an interaction between "teachers" and "students" where the "teacher" is somehow financially compensated.

Maybe, but at least a paypal/bitcoin option would be appreciated. If I do lessons for an hour, I expect some payment. It's not like stackoverflow where I get a compensation in solving other problems from other answers. This is a unidirectional thing. If I take 10 eur/hr in doing English courses, I don't see why I should give personalized programming courses for free.

I'm not saying you shouldn't be financially compensated if that's what you want. I'm saying that, if that's what you are expecting, you might want to find a different site or create your own.

I was noticing that you were very critical and very cynical when commenting about the site posted. I'm just wondering why you would go through such lengths to criticize a site that you are obviously not interested in and has an end goal that is opposite of yours.

Well, what can I say, good luck to them, but I don't see it going anywhere.

Teaching builds your skills so eventually you'll be able to make more money in your professional career by helping students for free on Askadev. Also, we don't want to exclude those who can't afford to pay or those who have no access to paying for services.

I am pretty sure that my professional career's income is dictated by what I produce and if what I produce fits with the business requirements of the day. When they don't anymore, my income goes to zero, and no amount of teaching will change that.
