Feels so broken that we've created an ecosystem where the few people left with staff jobs are just waiting for them to disappear; the freelancers are struggling to get by on roughly $10k a year; and yet there are endless publicists in my inbox who largely seem to be living stably— Ted Davis (@tddvsss) October 16, 2023
