Amen! I am so sick of people telling me that they don't have to pay for my stories or blog posts, because it will be great "exposure". Last time I checked, exposure didn't pay the bills.

another artist friend once said in response to a request for free work for exposure "you can die of exposure". I too am so tired of the lipservice given to valuing creativity but this not matching the actions. May your work be well-compensated and may steemit help all of us!
That is an awesome response, I hope your friend doesn't mind me using it. Yes, Steemit will hopefully help with this.
Yes, use it!! She said it about 20 years ago and loves that other people now say it too.
I love that response, @natureofbeing!
I couldn't agree more! I've seen so many people struggle for decades at their craft because of holding on to that mentality that is hammered into creative people's heads, I was one of them. It took twenty three years of working in a cubicle before I woke up.
