I'm willing to bet money precisely nobody is going to seek out those photographers because they found them in the fineprint of some probably cringeworthy netflix show. The best they can hope for is having additional munition to convince a potential but hesitant customer. Also, some people need money this month, not maybe-money 2 years down the line.

So no one would value the experience and prestige of being involved in a successful program that has an audience of 30 million. No one? That’s a pretty bold assumption. As for the money this month vs later - this is the gig for them. Again, just because it’s not a an appropriate gig for all photographers doesn’t mean that it’s a gig that might not be exactly what a different photographer could benefit from.

You don't have to be sought out to be able to proclaim "as seen on Season 2 of Love is Blind" and have an air of credibility in a competitive world absolutely packed with people of moderate ability attempting to establish themselves as pay-worthy.

I hear you... and for #1 "Getting exposure to millions of people", this is more related #2, as it wouldn't be applicable if people don't know anything about the cringefesty show. > Some people need money this month, not maybe--money 2 years down the line. I agree, but I stand by the statement that this is a business decision. I have to believe this is a rare opportunity too, and doesn't compare to the common 'exposure opportunity' from various producers/promoters out there. I did music for a while, and have seen my good share of this, and was always surprised how many people fall into it. Even when it clearly meant it was a very bad business decision--and most of the time, not even fun.
