Entirely unsurprising, but I’m still very tired

    those who take financial risks are rewarded the most

    That’s the problem, the people who actually make the thing get nothing but the rich fuckers who restrained the project every step of the way and hindered the actual creative process in favour of profit are the only ones who benefit.

      I truly don’t know if the world will ever reach a point where we can have a genuine conversation about shit like this. It always seems to evolve into the average person taking the side of the business person and arguing that the “complainer” knew what they signed up for

      Every conversation about exploitation gets derailed by capitalist apologists repeating the same set of talking points while deepthroating the boat. Sad

      You’re right but $300 a day. I can’t get over how little people are working for out here. $300 a day. I won’t leave my house for so little. I’m a working artist, too. Obsession couldn’t afford me, apparently.

      (I think the set design etc is much much harder than what I do, too.)
