I totally agree here!
Just about every producer I know is money hungry and stingy. Instead of making a "decent" wage and paying their models a decent wage, they want to keep all of the money to themselves by cutting corners and paying the talent peanuts.
I had a producer friend of mine call me a while back bragging about how much he got paid for a shoot and how many corners he had cut and how much money he was going to profit from the shoot because of it. It's totally ridiculous to have this mind set. Incidentally, the client thought the content was crap and never hired the guy again. Had he been not so stingy, cut less corners and taken a decent profit instead of trying to take it all....he could have had a long term relationship with the client that produced lots of business.
I have lots of respect for girls who work in this industry. They are not all perfect but I think they deserve good pay for what they do especially if the producer is making bank off of them.
