    I want to get art for as little as possible and they want to be paid as much as possible.

    Any labor is worth what it's worth, obviously considering intensity of work and training required. I don't understand how you can be mad at this.

    An hour of your work is worth an equivalent hour of another worker's work.

        It's not a sound analysis because

        A: You can apply that observation to literally every worker that negotiates pay (waiters' tips, Uber tips, plumber, all craftsmen and tradesmen)

        And

        B: Pointless because it's anti worker and anti solidarity, dead end. Your interests working in presumably the core are still improved by the hyper exploitation of the periphery, your conditions worsening would still be bad

        Creative and fulfilling labor is still labor, protecting and making that available to as many people as possible should be the goal.
