As someone who does a lot of freelance and occasionally gets “do it for the exposure” types of gig offers, my go-to response is usually “people die from exposure when they can’t pay their rent.”
Also, you came to me to offer me the gig. I didn’t do any extra work to get you in my inbox. You found my contact info and reached out to me, so I clearly don’t need more exposure.
don’t you guys pay your rent and buy food with github stars?
