"I'm paying with exposure." argument is not that great. Agreed with easy access to culture for those who can't spare the money though.

It's a bit different of a dynamic compared to a company that can pay and instead pays in exposure.

“I’m paying with exposure.”

In this case though, advertising otherwise would have actually cost them money... This is the one time that it actually is a "decent" although not "great" argument. The exposure dynamic to companies is completely different than for workers.
