That's unfortunate to hear. This has allowed me to connect with talent that has otherwise not been given the opportunity to showcase their skills. At the scale I'm doing it it's pretty harmless but can see how it can be easily exploited.

One only needs to encounter a handful of bad actors to paint everyone with that brush - perhaps unfairly. Best of luck to you.
