What should I do? He totally just wants to grab a beer and hang out with me.

This guy posted an ad on my local subreddit looking for an illustrator to work on a book for basically nothing. I made a thread in the freelancer subforum calling him out on being a cheap rear end in a top hat, because is a cheap rear end in a top hat, and I have no life and it was fun. Here's the OP. For people who don't do freelance work, offering exposure and maybe possibly points for work is bullshit unless you have massive networking contacts or the position is an internship. Which is never the case when someone's offering exposure instead of money.



He deleted most of his posts so here's another screenshot.



Callout thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/freelance/comments/4vfc99/how_not_to_freelance/

The guy is very adamant about letting me know his name is Sam Zurick. If posting his name and email's not okay I'll take it down, but he keeps sending this poo poo to me.

A lot of times when I make a post somebody disagrees with on reddit, and they find out I'm a she, it usually turns into a barrage of misogynistic "You stupid oval office" "You're just angry because you're desperate for my HUGE COCK" bullshit. I know it's not news reddit's full of assholes, but it just reminds me how awesome the community is here.

As a working musician myself, I always pay upfront for anything like photos, artwork, and what have you. Wtf would royalties even be? Oh, I sold three albums where you did all the art at a gig I did, here's your five cents.

Nevermind the fact that musicians are some of the most stingy people when it comes to getting paid. If you want to put out a good, professional product, accept the costs that come with it.

'Good job pissing off a potential network contact.'

gently caress off, if you were part of any network, you wouldn't be on Reddit asking for illustrators. God I hate people like that.

Posting on reddit is like posting in one of the more autistic forums on SA. You'll always be wrong and someone will make drat sure to hound you about it.
