In context, yes, maybe technically the same point will apply to a janitor getting paid by public funds to mop a floor that 90 percent of the public couldn't care less if it existed, assuming that janitor spends a lot of time online deriding people for doing essentially the same thing. Or maybe a lamdun can come up with a chiluk (I think I can see the seeds of a mehalech or two). But so what. I think our point is fair either way.
You're overthinking it. We're just having some fun. Slifkin trying to drum up some paid subscriptions by pulling the low voiceover "the following contains sensitive material" shtick, I figured he should be called out for it. That's all.
As for the guf hadavar - of course it's disgusting and embarrassing. Almost everybody - chareidi or otherwise - feels the same, and says so. That's why it was eventually pulled. This is not some Slifkin einfal that it's distasteful. Leave it to him to go and make a chareidi versus rationalist thing about this.
What does that mean he generates no actual income? If a janitor works for a museum, is that also not income, since it's from public funds?

It took me some time to get this one but I am assuming your point is that everyone seizes the opportunity to make a buck when offered.
Honestly I was pretty disgusted when pants of a Gadol went up for auction. That's a real bizayon.

You're right. To be honest, I don't know how he finished the post because I myself couldn't bring myself to part with a few more bucks.
