like, is the only reason you've ever done anything just to make money? have you never made cool things that are not necessary for sustaining life, just because you could? i've offered premium broadcast production services as an audio producer, broadcast producer, graphic designer among other jobs all in one package and sure, i was paid to do it, but if money never existed? i still would have done it because it was fun and it made me feel cool doing it.
in fact the only reason i stopped doing it was because money exists, and i wasn't being paid nearly enough compared to the cost of living for the level of expertise i was bringing to the table. they themselves wished they could pay me more, but couldn't because money prevented them from doing so. if there were no concerns about money on either end, i would have continued to work with them and i could have used my expertise to bring a high-quality viewing experience to their viewers.
like, this is such a depressing way to view the world.
