Recently, I watched a film called NUDE NUNS WITH BIG GUNS. It wasn't awful, but it was by no means good, and throughout the viewing I could see clearly that they had cribbed heavily from Tarantino's GRINDHOUSE. The way it was done, and how clearly it was a rip of that movie, had me wondering if they understood that Tarantino was making a homage to another era in cinema, or if they just thought it would be a good idea something that was cool and popular."
Is the intent of the person you are working for or with doing so with the express person of manipulating you to benefit them? If so I'd call that exploitation; if not I'd call it something else.
What else to call it? Well I am not sure, but it is naive to ignore the reality of how society operates. When risk is involved people - motivated rightly by a level of self-interest - use methods to judge the fitness of a choice. One of the ways we do that is through experience. If we experience quality coming from someone we build trust in their abilities and consequently the choice of partnering with them. It may be sad that life is so harsh that we begin to use these tools to keep ourselves safe, but ignoring the reality of them puts us at a disadvantage.
That being said we can do things to offer alternative solutions, but that will take time. Until then, we need to understand that putting ourselves out there is one of the quickest ways to build up trust with other people. Sometimes that means we are exploited by selfish people, but I don't really see a great alternative.
This article hits close to home for me since I literally just joined Bitmob because I feel it may be a good way to get my name out there. Hopefully I won't be hurt by the whole experience; it seems like this place isn't built around malice.
Gosh. I really feel like I could write a response article to this. Would you be opposed to that Tom?
