Time to unfollow them, I guess.

    I imagine you wouldn’t be saying this if it was your work being used.

    If you went through the painstaking effort or writing a book or something, I imagine you’d be pretty unhappy if nobody wanted to reimburse you, and you were called a cunt for wanting to be paid for your labour.

      I work for a living, so I’m used to my work being exploited as a matter of course.

        That’s exactly my point.

        Presumably you’re paid for the work you do, and you shouldn’t have to do it for free, yes?

          Yes. But I’m not paid continuously for the work I’ve done in the past, and I’m not paid the actual value of my work.

          Should we still be paying Homer for his incredible work on the Iliad, do you think?
