[10] THE BURN WARD (UNFILTERED COMPLAINTS)
* The stark reality of the role, scraped from Reddit, Blind, and anonymous career boards.

"A lot of UGC creators get free product for compensation instead of money."
"Some brands are mixing these two models by offering a small base pay and then adding commission incentives. That’s not true UGC; that’s a hybrid affiliate structure."
