Influencers are disgusted with Amazon’s paltry $25-per-video endorsement offer | It looks like full-time Amazon UCG creators are getting a 90-percent cut in pay::undefined
“One commenter pointed out that the amount of work needed to complete such a contract equates to a full-time job.”
Oh, the humanity.
A full time job that paid $12500 without benefits for roughly 5.5 months of work if they release 3 videos a day, 7 days a week with sponsored content. No one should take that.
Edit: fixed missing 0.
3 videos a day for 5.5 months (about 167 days). That’s 500 videos. 500 x $25 = $12500, not $1250.
I have no clue if it’s feasible to make three videos a day for 5.5 months, but I guess if the length of the video doesn’t matter then It must be doable.
It could be worth it if they can also make money through other companies for the same videos. Plus if they’re popular enough that Amazon is paying them then they must already be making ad revenue or something.
I don’t know. I’m not a pro, just spitballing.
People don’t tend to work weekends. So, 5 days a week, not 7 days a week. These are sponsored videos, so they are not making money through other companies.
Do the weirdo simp for Amazon all you want, the maths don’t add up in your favour. It’s still crap.
I said I’m no pro and just spitballing, your last line about being a simp is pretty strange.
How about influencers look for a real job instead?
That’s exactly what they’re bitching about. It is too much like a real job.
I’m honestly sickened by the simping for Amazon in this thread. Pathetic.
Is it really dumping for Amazon? Or just dunking on influencers?
All labor deserves a livable wage. I don’t care if it’s something I personally find annoying. Fuck amazon for screwing people over, even if I find those people annoying, it doesn’t matter.
The labor should reward at least the value it produces. If it produces 0 value then the “job” shouldn’t exist.
yeah that’s the weirdo liberarian free market capitolism approach that hasn’t worked for 30 years, if you want to take that route. it doesn’t work.
PQNLD, two dopamine hits for the price of one!
Remember when being called an “influencer” was a suspicious and generally bad thing?
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
What I get from the article is that only is the pay lower, there is no longer an “up to” part in the contract. Meaning you don’t get paid anything until you’ve created the full 500 videos. Meaning you can’t use it as a side hustle, it is a full time job.
