But there is time, effort and original content and not copy and paste in order to make a quick buck. We need to promote more users to, at least, take the risk of making new content. Sure it isn't portfolio quality work, but how can we blame the photographers and models here for that? It's not like they knew ahead of time what they were going to get paid for their work.

I would say, "If you can do better, then don't complain", but I don't think that argument is worth a crap when others use it. However, please make sure that you are doing the same with whatever your content might be in the future. Sometimes in order to get paid for your work, you have to put high concept and imagination to the side and be simple and effective. This is basic commercial fashion photography we are talking about here and not the cover of a highbrow photos for photographers magazine.

Anyway, thanks for your opinion. Can't say I disagree entirely, just wanted to add some extra perspective.

Cheers
