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
"They were asking for it. Did you see what they were wearing? A uniform for christ' sake" -average person discussing any form of employee exploitation.
Read the actual statement instead of falling for ragebait.
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.)
I would jump at $300 per day, alas I am a German with only a bachelor's degree.
I mean, must be nice? Are you just trying to flex or what? Do you know how many non-artist but still skilled workers would jump at the chance for $300 a day?
Where are you working as an artist that $300 a day is chump change? Do you have any openings? I'm lucky if I make $100 a day working full time as an artist.
Their username being "architect" I have to wonder if they think being a professional architect is what people mean by "working artist".
Maybe, I'd be cool with with considering designing a building a kind of art form, but it is a little facetious of them to not mention that if that is the case.
