Totally industry standard. I&#x27;ve been one of such freelancers in the past. If we were going to boil this down to a scientific dip sample, then yes - I&#x27;m sampling a skewed group. Since we don&#x27;t have any means of doing this, I&#x27;m simply writing about my experience of what I&#x27;m hearing across, what I would consider, a broad spectrum of our industry. Judging by my inbox of relieved freelancers&#x2F;industry professionals today, my post is resonating with a whole subset of people who have been quietly suffering thinking there is something wrong with what they&#x27;re doing&#x2F;their work; when it&#x27;s how the industry does business now, that&#x27;s changed.
