Not all artists are in it for the money, some actually value the exposure and networking opportunities that come with collaborating or doing free work. It's not a one-size-fits-all situation, let people make their own choices about what they want to do with their time and skills.

are you kidding me? "exposure" doesn't pay the bills and most people can't afford to work for free.

spare me the idealism, dude. if you're not getting paid. You're just enabling others to make money off your free labor.

means testing is evil. how much exposure can i pay my rent with?
