The artist just didn’t market themselves. Exposure means nothing if what’s being exposed offers nothing. Not to defend payment in exposer, that’s not usually a good idea, but if you have exposer to the right people and actually use that exposer you can get where you want to go. It can be of the same or greater value than the money, but it can also be less. This post implies it’s always less.
I never said that wasn’t the case, but it doesn’t matter to my argument which is why I didn’t mention it. This was saying it’s unjustifiably bad in every scenario, I’m just saying that’s not the case.
I do get your argument, but this rant was clearly aimed at clients who try to pay in exposure, so I thought it relevant to point out that when someone asks to pay in exposure, most of the time that’s the exact kind of exposure this artist is ranting about

Here’s the thing. If the exposure was worth anything, the artist would be the one asking.
If you have to ask to pay with exposure, your exposure isn’t worth enough.
