This is part of a response by one of the admins of the group I was targeting yesterday, that runs a magazine for artists, charges money for the magazine, and pays the staff, but doesn't pay the artists.

In their reply, which is trying to convince people that 'ad space' is 'monetary value' and equates to paying artists (in money they still can't use to buy food), they had this dig at me for using their Facebook group in a way they encouraged.

@WelshPixie That's fucked up. You can't take the moral high ground by exclaiming "But we let you post in this group, you got exposure, therefore your experience paid for itself."

@welshpixie @deadsuperhero I know, how rude of you to need things like food, and shelter!

@WelshPixie Eventually everyone will leave that community if the people running it keep it up.

@deadsuperhero I'd like to think so, but the people defending my point of view were severely outnumbered by the people attacking me :(

@deadsuperhero @welshpixie ah the fetishizing of "experience" in lieu of payment.

@bob @deadsuperhero @welshpixie They should be glad they get the "experience" of paying you! ;)
