Close thread.
Sounds like advice of a spoiled child who has never had to run a business. You buy commodities. It comes at a price. Production costs have nothing to do with buying a photo. Models also continually demand their content be removed. You don't even seem to understand the basic economics of running a small business... or the cost of caving to every other model shot who later wants her content removed or the cost of removing it from paysites and promo materials and the additional harm it does to sales, recurring sales and so on.
