We should all boycott agencies like iStock that don't respect us and our work. Both for videos and images.
I mean, 15% commission?!? Who are we, their slaves?
Slaves are not paid anything.
hehe. actually most people are slaves, and don't realize it. Just because you don't have the "ball/chain" as portrayed in the movies, doesn't mean you arne't a slave... what do you call people who work in an office, 'voluntarily' give 50% of their income to some unnamed agency/person to do with as they please, use the remaining 50% to pay for their own lodging, own food, and if they are lucky, get two weeks off for good behaviour? lol...
what do you think the "masks" were all about the last 3-4 years? they were for the slaves, and most obediently put it on (stupid as it was) for 'fear of being punished'... I never wore one, it was stupid, as well as being very wrong. shoving a stick up the nose also had nothing to do about 'health' - it was 'breaking in the slaves'/trying to break their willpower... (like seriously - if there was a 'dangerous virus' - why could you 'cough' and a speckle of it could 'infect' someone - yet you had to shove a stick so far up your head to touch your brain to see if you had anything? certainly wasn't about "health"...)...
"slaves" in some respects as potrayed in the movies had it a little better, at least their accomodations + food were paid for...
