    This thread is about how people aren’t willing to cover the costs when labour is included.

    Then you comment with “if he had more technical acumen, he wouldn’t need to do [the labour that people are unwilling to pay for]”.

    If he doesn’t know how and doesn’t have the means to do something he shouldn’t be doing it. End of story.

    He does know how. He’s saying he doesn’t have the means, because either he has to spend his time working full time, leaving no time for the labour people are unwilling to pay for, or people pay for the labour they’re unwilling to pay for, giving him the means, in which he will be able to do it, because he already has the knowledge.

    Kinda how if someone gave me a huge plot of land, a quarry, and a billion dollars, I’d have no you’ve building a castle. But since I only know how to build one and don’t have the land, resource or time to labour a few hundred years building a castle bymeself, I’m not able to build a castle, but it’s not because I don’t know how to.

    Maybe some reading comprehension or writing practice would do you good?

        So you would do if for free?

        Because you said you do that for a living. Meaning people pay you for the time you work on these things.

        Have you any idea how costly that time is to your employer? That’s rhetorical, ofc you don’t.

        Would you do go to work if it didn’t cover your rent?

        You have admitted it does take some work. It doesn’t just happen, right.

        So what is it you’re trying to say?

        If he had your skills, he’d work for free? You would do the amount of work required, for free?

        You’re just an arrogant dick who didn’t read the thread and said stupid shit. Simple as that.
