Being an artist is not an easy profession, and even less so these days. Every day artists fight what seems like a never-ending fight for their rights and their art so that it will not be used in a way that hurts them or their livelihood. They always have to be extremely cautious with how, when, and where they expose their art to other people.

Like this artist on Reddit, who shared their experience with volunteering their art at a college club. The artist told Reddit about the entitled club president, who would simply not do his job, and because of that, OP (original poster), had to take upon themselves the tasks of the president, including planning events with barely any time. After constantly being underappreciated, OP left the club but was surprised to hear criticism when they took their artwork with them and didn't allow the club to continue using it for free.
