Bottom line for working as an employee is to get paid sufficient to make it worthwhile. Despite employees' being brilliant, committed and loving the job bottom line the investors motivation is to make sufficient profit to make it worth while. Same with audience time investment. Time like money can only be spent once.

(- for me personally - more then ten years by now. - I'm from Russia. 😔 - frightening deja-vu... /The most famous story in RF - is private TV-Rain. ☔✌🏻 (there's great and... interesting docfilm about tv-Rain story... think, it is in English somewhere on KZbin..., or with the Eng. subtitles at least... - if it could be interesting... It was The story of a death-fight - I would call it...

... I, m afraid, the coment with the link do not available... / so if interesting, - may be you could find the trailer of the film by its name - corrected name is: "f%&ck THIS job"... I think it is in English, because it was launched two years ago, and was presented in the international docfilms festivals... /✌🏻 I m writing about it, because I have a thought, that, may be... it is... ... I don't know how to express... / - may be, it is like a kind of a "case", about how colleagues - journalists, in other, very complicated country, were fighting battle, next battle, and next... - were fighting for their profession, and our right to choose the source... 😔 so, it is not just personal story of one rich family faraway, or a piece of story of one very odd country... ...
