A lot of creative jobs are like this. Game development is incredibly predatory. Noodle has a fantastic video.

not just creatives. if you love what you do you need to be in a union: see pilots.

I always upvote Noodle. This specific video led me to leave my workplace abuse as a dev, and just about just about everyone else I worked with left as well once they saw people leaving. We're all much happier for it. I wish we had a union, because I loved those people and wanted to work with them forever, but we all had to move on.
