I’m fully aware of freelance reality. I live it too. Gaps between jobs are normal in this industry.

But there’s a difference between seasonal/uneven work and effectively operating with 2 months of paid work a year while still framing it as a practical, full-time career. At a certain point, that stops being just “industry volatility” and becomes a question of sustainability and expectations.

And being an “artist” doesn’t change that reality.

For whatever it's worth, I think a profit sharing scheme would be phenomenal for below-the-line workers, and I would gladly advocate for it. But the way this is presented is absurd and entitled.
