Did not take long before seeing an identical service pop-up elsewhere I’m just going to be honest for a sec here. This industry, specifically, without fail, consistently plagiarizes the success and creativity of its members and passes it as its own. Quite like drinking from the pool it pees in The nuance in this specific case is “3rd party” vs “nepotism”. You realize it’s a conflict of interest for the person holding the keys to your opportunities, to offer a feature to legitimize yourself to them. It’s turning a key into another shackle I’ve seen it with classes/coaching outlines, I’ve seen it with pop-up studios, I’ve seen it with branding, general services (suddenly everyone is a _____ in addition with acting), with no applied experience There really can’t be so few of us who see it or care. It always follows someone who pops off organically but is repackaged and louder by someone else with their own circle buying in to convince others it’s extra-legit. It never mentions who “inspired” it, just presents it as new For a while I was quiet about my wins and moves because of this, and this is exactly why. I actually welcome competition but this by definition is the opposite If you’ve supported anything I do, thank you specifically. You’re the reason I get to create instead of profit on someone else’s idea. I’m privileged and thankful for it. Don’t ask me who or where, just if you see it, take a minute and know
