'Talent' will simply have to deal with it if they want to work. In this type of job market, and with the state of the industry. I bet the treatment will get a lot worse (for some) before it gets better.

That argument MIGHT make sense except it's unjustifiable to be paying affiliates $100 a sale (which NastyDollars is doing today if you haven't noticed the thread) while screwing talent out of time/money. Four hours?? That's not just being late or canceling at the last minute, that's just being totally douchey.
Making a sale to RK is easy -- putting on makeup, driving, and then sitting around for four hours? That's a lot harder/more of an investment than sitting at home in your sweats throwing up some galleries knowing that just by using their site names and keywords you'll attract traffic to your site and back to them without even sending them anything new. It converts itself.
Smokie could write a blog entry about how they screwed her, put up a bunch of links, and people would still join because they are good sites -- make your money back like that! Much easier than camming or modeling, that's for sure.
