The Do-It-Yourself Economy
- ShabbyDoo 17y agoThe marketing agency owner claims that no jobs were created by his 80% off video production. How many are employed by voices.com? How many voice actors can now find steady work instead of waiting tables while they wait for that occasional $500/hour gig (of which an agent likely takes a huge cut)? How many semi-pro photographers are making some money to pay for their gear by shooting stock for iStockPhoto on weekends? Previously, a photographer would have to find representation to sell stock work -- a hard thing for somebody who doesn't produce a lot of work. I could go on and on. Creative destruction brings longer-term happiness.
