ummm. are you 12? you just pretty much summed up what a typical business model is, for every single person that starts ANY type of business. these girls aren't "getting taken advantage of". they're models. they like to cosplay, and the lifestly/hobbies surrounding anime, cons, and general geek/fandom. HOORAY for them for getting paid to strut their stuff, and enjoy themselves. and HOORAY for troy, for putting it out there for other fans of the niche/genre, to enjoy! what do you do for a living? let's say you work at mcdonalds. don't you get PISSED that every time you sell a 1/4 pounder, you're getting paid your measely minimum wage, while the owner of the store sits back and counts his money, and never, ever has to come into the store to lift a finger to do anything? it's called BUSINESS 101. the models make money, the photographers make money, the editors, etc. make money, and the owner of the site makes money. i'm sure in the beginning, troy had to put out a lot of his own money, and make plenty of sacrifices to get the site going. now that it's doing so much better, OF COURSE he's going to get better looking models, better looking photography, pay those models and photographers more, and pay himself more.
taking advantage? no. i disagree. |
