[00:02] quotes like this. Criticism is valid, but rudeness isn't. Do better. And so, these are some DMs. The potential client is messaging Milo being like, "Hey, I'm interested in some art." They send over a headshot that looks to be AI-generated
[00:17] and says, "I want a headshot like this. How much in USD?" And Milo says, "I offer headshots for $30." Milo sends over a link. Oh my god, their art is so sick. And the potential client says, "$30? Be freaking for real. No wonder
[00:32] you only have 71 followers. I'll find a better artist." And Milo's like, "No worries. Hope you find them soon." Which, got to say, Milo took this with absolute grace, but the way this person talked to them was so rude. This happens
[00:44] bots that do this. Sometimes there's people who will like fake engagement messages like this, but like this is a legit thing that happens to artists reach out to you and just be so absolutely rude for no reason. Oh, I
[00:58] feel so bad. And Milo adds, "Now that I look at it, the reference looks like looks AI-generated or run through AI. The earrings are all melting. This is not a cartilage earring, but also somehow a cartilage earring. And the
[01:11] directions. And this hair clip is also kind of melting into the hair." A user says, "Typical for somebody sending AI as a reference." And Milo says, "It definitely is a big red flag." Sad face. Another person says, "It's honestly
[01:23] reason when they're the ones asking for talking to a bunch of people like this, too." And Milo says, "So sorry to hear don't get it. If you're not looking to pay more than $30, look for someone in
[01:37] your range. There's no reason to be rude, as well." That is so frustrating. so annoying. I used to work at a customer-facing job where you have to interact with people, you'll be
[01:49] surprised at how rude some people can be.
