Except MCNs sit as a middleman to you getting paid. The Defy Media debacle taught everyone a hard lesson.
For those unaware, Defy Media went bust and had taken out substantial loans to operate. A large number of big creators are still unpaid while Defy Media's creditors carve up the company's assets.
All those creators are going to get left unpaid.
- criley2 8y agoFair enough, but to bring this case up without mentioning mandatory union dues and the costs of unionization feels disingenuous. Unions very much are a middle man between labor and management, and the collective bargaining agreement that this potential Creators Union would sign would hamstring a creators freedom in this space pretty significantly as well. Is what it is, both choices have positives and negatives from my perspective.
- busterarm 8y agoYeah, but at least unions don't take your entire paycheck up front before giving you your cut.
