Hi all
Just curious how everyone is going and how everyone feels they are being treated within this industry - overall, historically - but especially at this time where everyone is under immense financial stress.
From what I can see the workers get a fairly small share. Sure the platforms need to provide the platform, the servers, the financial infrastructure etc etc - but when it comes down it there are multiple platforms all offering much the same thing and all taking a chunk of the creative workers work (and their support organisations - eg studios)
Also, it has to be said - and this is not against the creative workers in the industry - much of your industry is a total scam. We all know many times people operate through multiple platforms - all taking a share. - many of the users do not know this. Also what the users of sites care about is paying the model (content creator) with reasonable costs to all those other involved - servers, studios, eb designers.
But I sincrely hope nobody has been ripping off models or users
I am very curious about the structure of the infdustry and how it is looking after all those who are important. I seriously hope at this time there is no exploitation going on
When it comes down to it the sites are just like a utiity - eg a phone or power company - linkng up a supplier of a service with users - just a thought at these very difficult times - and believe me they are very difficult for many of your providers - despite the luxury in which most of youlive in California and the like - or wherever you are all incoprorated and have your servers - but come on - time is now to show that you care more for people than just eploiting them - same goes for all those other gig companies around the world (esp Califormnia) all those patforms making so much from providing a very basic service linking clients to producers
So maybe its time to pay up
cheers
