TIMESTAMPS BELOW (for people repeating this!)
NOTE: Please absolutely watch this entire video until the very end. I promise you it's worth the time and discussion. This is a long and complicated story with multiple perspectives on it, so please give me the time to explain them better. I'd also love to hear your thoughts but please do so AFTER the video has concluded, so we don't have to circle back and forth about the facts or things that have already been said.
This video is not meant to defame any of the brands, platforms, companies or individuals involved. I have obscured all identifiers, so please do NOT go on a witch hunt or harass anyone. I am just sharing my side of the story and pointing out several points and behaviours that I experience in my industry. So as juicy and dramatic as this may be to some of you, I hope you guys can respect my wishes and understand where I’m coming from. Thank you and enjoy!

Btw I didn't add this in but I feel like this should be known - regarding post A, I have worked on unpaid projects for the same brand around 3 times prior to this campaign. While I've shown good faith by working on these unpaid projects (as I value the working relationship and enjoy the products), if they weren't paying me for the 4th time we've worked together, I sincerely doubt they would the next. Perhaps this history better contextualises the nature of our working relationship.
