Reposted by singelikayti burt @kaytiburt.bsky.social · 27/08/2026So when a well-resourced outlet publishes a similar story to my own, from a journalist seemingly with no fandom experience who has read my story, without citing it, it is incredibly disheartening. As a working class freelancer, the feeling of exploitation hits on several levels. 2316
Reposted by singelikayti burt @kaytiburt.bsky.social · 27/08/2026When I write a feature like the one being discussed here, I am drawing on decades of experience in fandom and years of (unpaid or under-compensated) labor spent studying and writing about fan culture professionally.
