Precisely.

That and money, Yogscast is their full-time job as far as I know. Which is a good
point to remember when reading Notch's "no one else got paid" comment.
Yogscast does this for living, they are asked to go to the other side of the world
to promote Minecraft. Sounds like a good reason to me to ask for a pay.
Or as Totalbiscuit put it:
"The fact that no-one else got paid does not indicate a problem with Yogscast,
but with a multi-millionaire staffing a convention with volunteers."
You can read TB's full opinion on the matter as a friend of both Simon and Lewis
here.
(Do remember, it's an opinion, he wasn't there nor have talked to Yogscast about it)
