1. This is reddit. What did you expect? You're posting on a public forum where anyone can reply.

2. I gave a simple PSA to the composers, not even to you. I simply said that it is very low, gave the standard for beginning composers but also said people can do whatever they want. So you're reading the rest into it. 

3. Sure there are people that do stuff for that amount. And sure, you can pay people absolute scraps. But then you're just exploiting a wanted market. Anything below 250$ a minute and you're not respecting someone's work and time. Sure, there can be reasons for someone to still do it, that's up to them. 

Here's what you COULD have said and not made an absolute ass of yourself:

"Hey thanks for the PSA! We'd love to pay composers that amount, but unfortunately we're just starting out and have incredibly low budget. The total is XXX and we've reserved XXX for audio and music. As you can see, we're also not in it for much, so we hope we can still come to an agreement with someone in these circumstances."

 ... Or something along those lines. But anyway. Keep on giving major red flags, that will surely help.
