When the numbers don't add up, creators pivot hard. Turn down collabs under $2K+—why waste time on offers worth $200 when that capital could fuel something bigger? It's just economics. Reality check: if you're getting lowballed on every partnership, it's time to walk. Funny part is, once you do, that becomes your last collab at that level anyway. The market forces you up or out. Some call it brutal; honestly, it's just how the Web3 creator game works. You either level up or stay stuck.

If you can't roll with it, don't try; learning to say no is the beginning of making money.

Huh? You want me to spend 200 bucks for a partnership? That's hilarious. I should have refused long ago.

That's right, low-price collaborations are a waste of time. That's how I do it too.

To be honest, the 2K mark is indeed a watershed; going below this price would be a step down and would devalue oneself.

NGL, this is reality. You really have to refuse low-priced jobs, or you'll always be stuck at that price.

Nah, this set of arguments sounds good, but in reality, there are many people who hold the power.

To be honest, a starting price of 2K can still fool people in a bull market. Who would believe that now... I see a bunch of creators setting their prices ridiculously high, only to be severely taught a lesson by the market.
