First, I don't have a negative opinion of someone who registers on the forum because he has found out that he can earn money here by writing. The problem is whether he is willing to cheat to do so. To start earning money with an account, you have to spend more than half a year here sharing opinions without getting paid, sometimes even longer. If it's done honestly, I don't see what the problem is.

It really is that simple. Seems like its hard for a lot of people to understand. So I've prepared a couple of memes as a public service.

Obviously I'm not talking about people who have alts for mobile devices or for whatever reason, so long as they aren't using the alt to pretend to be a different person for the sake of joining a signature campaign. This is the majority of alt accounts on the forum, and it makes sense because there's an economic motivation to do it. But its still dishonest to pretend to be different people...

In real life, if you knew someone was an impostor pretending to be someone else, would you waste any time whatsoever interacting with them? No, maybe only to point out what they're doing is wrong. But a lot of impostors insist they are not so it makes things confusing every so often. Just not a nice thing to do to people you're trying to have a conversation with.
