I would like to add that it's fucking egregious that Ted didn't get paid for his essay in their INTERNATIONALLY SYNDICATED BOOK. I can (barely) understand not getting paid for a blog post or internet article, but to not get paid for something in a book is insane.
I have made a living off writing before, specifically that in the digital space, and I have also rendered creative services for both pay, and, "promotion," and, "exposure." Any company recieving ad revenue based off of content you've written -> a landing page with banner ads, you deserve to be paid. I have worked for free before, but after years and years of honing my skills/ craft, I will never write or perform for free ever again.
Working for exposure is a complete farce unless you are on some massive platform. If it's a platform that's massive enough and worth being exposed on, they're probably going to pay you for your work.
When you are in the infancy of a creative career or you're cutting your teeth, you working for free is expected, unless you stand up for yourself. Any company/ corpo/ promoter that operates in a professional and ethical manner is going to pay you in the first place, no questions asked, no matter how small or large the compensation is.
After learning Jenkem doesn't pay, or has not paid in the past, for content my view point of them and their practices are extremely skewed.
