Lyu (#1422) - this is absolutely the best argument I've seen against this. Just based on that notion and the fact that there's so little info on this announcement, I feel more support towards taking that option away. Then again...the same thing could happen with just monetary payments. An artist could purposefully ask for les than what they're worth for an opportunity. Unfortunately, that's really all up to the individuals.
Artists almost never get paid what they're worth since demand is fairly low, and supply is so huge (lots of competition). I'm going on a huge tangent now...buying art is such a big passion of mine, so I have a lot of opinions on it lol. My dream is to be financially stable enough to regularly support artists x w x
