That’s not simping for Amazon. Simping would involve saying something pro Amazon, no one is doing that.
You’re right, no one should be taken advantage of, and if a job isn’t worth paying a livable wage for, it’s not a job that should exist. It seems like everyone agrees “influencer” isn’t a job that should exist.
Influencers don’t work for Amazon, they’re free to try peddling their nonsense somewhere else. But it turns out they don’t actually provide a valuable service to anyone, so no one wants to buy it.
Writers don’t work for netflix, they are free to try peddling their nonsense somewhere else. But it turns out they don’t actually provide a valuable service to anyone, so no one wants to buy it.
Postal workers don’t work for delivery companies, they are free to try peddling their nonsense somewhere else, but it turns out they don’t actually provide a valuable service to anyone, so no one wants to buy it.
Do you see how you sound now? Just admit that you don’t think some people should have a livable wage because you think their job is annoying. Oh no, not for those people, I don’t like them.
Yeah, they can sell their work to one of the networks, or Disney, or any of the other dozens of production companies that exist. But if no one wants to buy it, that writer may need to find another job. Or they can band together and strike like they’re doing right now. Something tells me no one would notice or care if all the influencers went on strike together.
They do though. Postal workers are directly employed by USPS. And UPS and FedEx drivers work for those companies. Also, people are willing to pay to have their packages delivered to them. There was an article within like the last month about how high the starting salary was for UPS delivery drivers. Because, apparently there is demand for the service they provide.
You’re going to need better examples if you want to convince anyone that influencers are worth having around.
I’m not trying to convince you that anyone is “worth having around”. I’m saying you are supporting amazon in their attempts to not pay their labourers a fair amount. You only want people to be paid when you like the people and what they do.
You don’t care about fair labor when you don’t like the people. It’s that simple.
