Valve has announced that they will be allowing content creators to charge for workshop mods:

The Steam Workshop has always been a great place for sharing mods, maps, and all kinds of items that you’ve created. Now it's also a great place for selling those creations. With a new, streamlined process for listing and selling your creations, the Steam Workshop now supports buying mods directly from the Workshop, to be immediately usable in game. Discover the best new mods for your game and enable the creators to continue making new items and experiences.

While this seems a great way to incentivize the creation of more and better mods, of course not all gamers are happy about it. [venturebeat.com - Warning: lots of javascript]

    Yes, because all criticisms of [Insert Scam Artist/Slimy Rich Person Here] are just signs of jealousy. I bet those people protesting Too Big To Fail were just jealous of those successful bankers, too. No one can ever have any legitimate criticisms if someone is rich, because being rich means you're completely immune to criticism.
