When oh when will these influencers ever get it through their thick skulls that exposure is not equivalent to payment. We have a wealth of artists in this wild world that are proactively trying to make it. They don't have the time or energy to put up with belligerent choosing beggars like we see here. Influencers are really out there operating on a different frequency. And not the good one.

    Blue - just get it done quickly Sorry but I couldn't get your manager to sign the invoice I sent, can you get your signature on it please? After that I can get started right away on it. There's no need for an invoice, there's no need for me to pay you.

    Text - I have over 240k followers, once they see the work you put in to your (hopefully) brilliant portrait, you'll be able to really get your name out there, don't you agree? The fact that you're asking me to pay you for what is essentially a glorified promo post is quite bizarre It's only 10 euro, your manager agreed to pay. I'm not asking for much here, just payment.

    Text - I think you fail to realise how dispensible you are to me, l'll find another artist if you don't want to work with me, final chance. No, sorry, I can't sacrifice my integrity for exposure.
