I love indie. But it's riddled with issues as much as large established companies are— little to no pay, expected unpaid overtime, work for 'exposure', poor management/communication, no benefits/protections, toxicity, and more

@planetoffinks.bsky.socialThe issue with "more indie stuff" in basically any media field is for most artists that just translates to "not getting paid for your work"
