That’s fine since you get the upside of the business as an owner. A salaried employee may not. Equity may be offered too, but i have seen enough situations where the capital investors get a payout that leaves those with lesser shares in the cold.
In short, fuck these people, pay me to care and I may choose to help build their business.
Can you explain a bit more, please? I don’t quite follow the meaning here. A small group already has most of the power ( money is power and a few have almost all of it ). What is your preferred way to see progress?
I solved this problem for life by going to my 10 year reunion (a mostly Mormon town). I only went because I happened to be on a motorcycle trip in the region with a girlfriend, a certified Freaky-Chick™️.
I had my own bike, but chose to ride on the back of hers to add extra confusion.
Just to be sure I was not included any more, I loudly proposed we wait at least 25 years for another when the choices presented were 5 or 10 years for the next one.
Nah, if you are feeding the Zuck, not my team. The principled creatives aren’t there.
It sucks to try to make a living as a creative. But giving your efforts to support social media platforms controlled by the worst people is inexcusable. Zuck literally and provably helped the fascists gain power.
The creatives I can respect create because they are compelled to. They work jobs and create when they can. They share their work on less shitty platforms and in actual real life.
We seem to have a suppressive person in the chat.
(JK, yes, it is. I mis-read the question and gave an example of culty stuff that is a hobby.)
