Locations, misc expenses come into play as well which ad up real fast. If we stop paying the models $2,000 per shoot then maybe it will not be so damn hard to be able to produce content at a reasonable price for smaller programs.

Interesting post.
1) And you don't work for the highest price you can get.
2) See above.
3) As a successful shooter, when I came to Czech there were Germans coming here and paying 1/3 to 1/2 what we paid. Complaining to me about our rates of pay. Not my job to lower my prices so they could compete.
It's not my job to care about small people getting a foot onto the ladder. In fact keeping them off the ladder is the name of the game.
Some big programs should of thought the same when buying content. Paying peanuts they allowed others who could also pay peanuts to open a site and compete with them.
It's a business, not a social club.
