Back in the day when everyone was writing articles about guaranteed pay with Newsbreak - I thought to myself ‘that’s not a sustainable model’ - that’s start up money… I’ll wait and see what they do in the long run and then see if I feel like waddling my birdo ass over there to see what’s what.

And now I have my answer… I’ve never seen a more ridiculous model than the one you’ve outlined. The more successful you are, the less you’re paid. Classic facepalm. I’m not sure it’s theft tho, there’s probably a contractual loophole…. Had they paid you the money, rather than showed you what you could’ve earned, then it might be - but I think they can fudge it as an administrative error. Capitalism huh? It’s a bitch.
