I still think it's crazy I edited a FaZe video with a 12 hour turnaround, it went on to make 5mil+ views and probably like $20k in ad rev, and all I got paid was $300
I'm so glad I work for people that actually treat me well now
@Only50_ This was never meant as any sort of "call out" I was just tweeting shit not expecting anyone to see it. I've got no beef with FaZe, I'm just glad that this has resonated with some folks and opened up a conversation around fair pay for the people behind the scenes of videos
@atrainjoker I'm gonna be honest brother, I made this tweet when I was half asleep and didn't expect it to get more than the regular 1 or 2 likes. I didn't even know they were a hot topic right now. This is just old shit I thought would be funny to tweet about
I think that fostering a generous creator economy is incredibly important. If a video pops off more than expected, that should be reflected in bonuses for those involved.
I've previously had this agreement with clients, and has been a huge morale booster when a video does well!
I'm not gonna lie I expected like two people to see this lmao.
To clarify, I have no ill will towards the creator himself, the price was agreed upon for me by my "agency" at the time. I'm just appreciative of the generosity of the people I work with now and how I'm paid fairly.
