Media industry hiring is hot garbage right now. Probably around 20 of the people that I worked with for almost a decade got laid off this year. None of them deserved it.
The current model is "don't pay anyone what they're worth and exploit as much cheap, young labor as possible."
I did get the VP of content for a large sports vertical ask me to make him something for free on Sunday during the game though, so that's cool! I enjoy working for free. Maybe I should just do that and start a gofundme to pay the bills.

why pay for it when there is a line to get their stuff posted for free? Just no traditional market anymore. You should consider developing your own model.
