also the reason this is still happening is probably because if one person says no to being unpaid, there will always be someone else that'll do it for free just cause its the superbowl
That happened it was the year maroon 5 played. If I remember right the original person who was supposed to play was Justin Timberlake and he said no and then they got Maroon 5 to played if I remember right.
And thats a choice
Shit, I’d do it for free, and I don’t even like Football.
@@liamjames5470 rihanna was supposed to headline then maroon 5 went
It’s not even that simple. For the dancers if their agent puts them in for the work and you reject it because your not getting paid you could end up losing all your work. My brother was an actor and a model and they asked him to do some work for free but he said he couldn’t afford to and he had 2 jobs after that cancelled and his work dried up almost immediately. He had to quit acting altogether because that one job was relatively high profile
Requesting *free labor* from African-Americans? To celebrate black voices? Y I K E S.
OOOF.
YIKES, BIG YIKES, VERY BIG YIKES
ah, the american dream
TBF, that makes it sound like they don't request the same free labour from white people
@@richardhobbs7360 That doesn't even remotely make it sound like they don't request the same from white people. Pointing out the irony that they are exploiting black labor under the aesthetics of black representation in no way delegitimizes the exploitation white dancers go through.
My sister was one of the dancers when Beyonce and Coldplay did the halftime show!! She didn't get paid either and they barely showed up on TV.... but she got to listen to Lemonade before it was officially released so... yay her?
Yikes
what??
@@riewo im sorry im not sure what ur confused about so im not sure what to say in response 😅
@@WolfwashereBOO I think they said "what??" because of how unbelievable it was to hear that your sister didn't get paid, was barely on screen, and was only "compensated" by getting to listen to Beyonce's album before other people did.
@@AdaAdaAdanna oh thank you!!
This is actually the exact reason I dropped out of my college where I was a theater major. My teachers would only give us opportunities and auditions if we put it hundreds of hours of free labor into the theater. It took up so much of my life and I was so mentally and physically sick from 14 hours days of unpaid labor that one day I just decided to drop out because I knew that this wasn’t the first or last time I would be asked to work for free in this industry
Good lord, I thought Art Uni was bad for wanting us to do unpaid ‘opportunities’… I hope you found something you love to do (and get paid for it!). Everyone deserves fair pay for any work they do
You were getting education and experience, but still weren't satisfied. You sound entitled.
@@herbie_the_hillbillie_goat radical thought: Paying people for their labour even when they’re in education because humans need to eat, and food costs money. Also, when people are overworked and having to worry about money at the same time, they’re not learning anything or getting anything out of the experience.
@@SallyBerry9 So you're saying they spend their money on Uni instead of food? Well they should reconsider their priorities and stop expecting hand outside. Educators aren't responsible for feeding you and if you're not learning from the experience, then you're wasting your money anyway.
@@herbie_the_hillbillie_goat ???? What on earth are you getting at? I never said Educators need to feed you? Myself and the OP are talking about unpaid opportunities OUTSIDE the university but offered up by educators who are meant to teach us how to navigate the working world including how to get PAID for our labour. Also, it’s real messed up for you to say people should forgo education because of money, I firmly believe that no one should have to make that choice and that students and their families should be able to afford to eat while also learning. Part of that being that unpaid jobs should be banned and not encouraged by educators.
I hate the “paying with exposure” discourse, especially when it involves big companies with lot of money, it’s just greed!
No. It's just an agreement.
Id say its fair for the artists. Exposure is not to be underestimated.
I didn't need more reasons to hate the NFL and football culture in general but here we are
I was sooo impressed by Kendrick's dancers to think of how manufactured it was without compensation makes me very sad
You mean the dancers not getting paid?
@@jasminpulido9803 This young woman is 100% wrong. She constructed this video off a few articles that didnt get information right themselves, partially because they seemed to simply repeat one another.
You can find nearly every contract for SB back up dancers over the last 10 years, on google. Its very easy. They got paid. They got paid for rehearsal and for SB day.
I don't know why this article was written. Maybe its being truthful but for some reason it only happened for one year? I mean, that's all i can really think of. Because i found 7 back up dancer contracts, PDFs of scans, and in all of those years BU dancers got paid. It was not some extraordinary amount, but it was an hourly more than... 40% of the American population.
@@undergrounddojokeyboardcag701 are these backup dancers or are these "crowd participation" dancers? I don't think those two are the same. Or am I just caught up on semantics?
@@notorioustori you are not caught up, you’re correct I think. Back up dancers are directly doing choreo right near the main singer.
@@notorioustori You're correct. The audience and the back up dancers are 2 totally different things. Most audiences do not get paid anywhere in the industry.
i had only seen vague posts about the situation and you summed it up so well and i’m glad you brought it back to the epidemic of free labor for exposure and experience in america.
I did the NFL halftime show this year with Dr Dre, Eminem, and others. I got the opportunity through a director of an all district marching band that I joined while I was in high school. He asked alumni to submit their info and as far as I know, they accepted everyone who submitted. At first we weren’t gonna get paid, during the process of signing NDA’s they kept telling us that. But then on the first day of rehearsal they didn’t tell us, but some cast members noticed that they had written it in our newly signed contract. We weren’t sure but they confirmed it on the 3rd rehearsal date when they asked us to check our emails for a verification form for payroll info. The scandal about dancers not being paid and cast working for free had happened before this and it seems like they paid us in an effort to not have backlash from the inside. We didn’t get a ton of money but i’d say it was decent pay for the job.
also i want to add, they did feed us consistently. and the longer rehearsals had more than one meal. the food was catered and kinda sucked sometimes lmfao. they definitely did not provide transportation, but encouraged us to carpool.
But if this wasn't brought to light none of this would have happened do you realize that? Don't. Work. For. Free. You're fuckin up the whole industry.
they also target students, or at least they did for this past year. I go/went to school in LA and over winter break our school started sending emails about an "opportunity" to perform at the halftime show this year with info about how to sign up as a group (i.e. student clubs/orgs organizing a group to perform). I was on leadership for 2 dance clubs at my school and so I know several people who did perform this past year and really the only reason I didn't join them is because the rehearsals were too much for my schedule. It took a massive toll on these friends of mine since it became the primary thing they were doing with 5+ hours of rehearsal 5-6 days a week for 2 weeks (on top of being full-time college students). A lot of them were constantly exhausted and got really stressed out between school and performing and I frequently heard about how they spent most of rehearsal doing LITERALLY NOTHING and had to just sit there because things were disorganized or the people in charge were focusing on other dancers. Like you said, they couldn't bring in food and phones weren't allowed because the whole thing is very secretive and they don't want any spoilers getting out or whatever.
Anyway, my point is that they also rely on students who are busy/overworked enough as is (not to mention are used to poor pay) and who will think of the performance as more of a 'life experience' or 'opportunity' rather than a job.
Also 2 of my friends got COVID the week of so they didn't even get to perform (and the rest were on screen for literally 5 seconds).
It was more of a if you have a free time thing but the sitting around for long periods of time while snacking wasn’t too bad , the sofi stadium is shady plus we did get paid for everything including the sitting around
So don't do it lol no one's forcing you
It's simply a not so subtle message to the "average" artists: "You are worthless and we don't give a shit about you! We are rich and you will be poor forever!"
I understand that it is easy to say "don't volunteer" from the outside, because it seems like a big opportunity, but if "volunteers" don't stop performing and rehearsing for free, noone will stop taking advantage of them. Calling them out won't make the decision makers of these production companies more sensitive. Absense of staff to work for free will. Also, if there is not a union of dancers or extras to collectively put pressure to employers, people will always stay unprotected, thus prone to exploitation
Also, it’s resume experience. This industry is crummy but it’s the whole industry not just the Super Bowl
Damn, you nailed it on the crowd of people who watch the game LOL. I had people from my high school perform at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2016! I live 15min from Levi's Stadium haha. But yeah, you're totally right about all this, especially no phone inside.
It‘s insane how common it is to hire talents without pay. As a photographer I was shocked when I first heard that most magazine shoots are completely unpaid for anyone involved, because it is „an honor“ that your work (and face, you are the model) is displayed in a huge magazine, when that magazine would in fact have the money to pay you. Same with concert and festival photography- you don’t get payed and usually have to pay for transportation and accommodation yourself. Mostly these „free opportunities“ just end up costing you money and it’s normalizing getting hard work for free:(
In 2015 when Katy Perry performed at the Super Bowl in AZ, I was a freshman at a high school nearby (Corona del Sol) and they actually reached out and recruited a bunch of marching band kids to act as these “movers” since we already knew how to follow basic choreography and stick to a mark on the field. At the time it seemed like a cool opportunity, and our band director got us excused from classes which made it more enticing, but there were a LOT of rehearsals and they were all pretty long. I got pretty behind on homework for a couple months.
And yeah, we didn’t actually get to stay for the game, and nobody was paid (which I think is different with high schoolers for legal reasons?), but we did get to keep the black jumpsuits they had us perform in, and we all got a sneak preview of left shark (there was one dancer who always kinda lagged even in rehearsals) so like dub I guess?
I remember when I was looking for a second job in Albuquerque NM. I went into an interview for a dish washers position. The interview went really well and the hiring manager offered me a job. Upon accepting the job offer he said, "oh well we will require you to work a few days to see if you can manage the workload for FREE". I have never laughed so hard in another man's face. He got upset and tried to physically remove me from the property. As soon as he touched me his nose was leaking like a facet. Fuck all that noise.
i actually did this a couple years ago for the maroon 5 show!! it was for sure long days but it was fun! and we definitely weren’t cast months in advance i think i found out like 2 weeks before the super bowl. they did give us compensation for travel but they didn’t pay us for rehearsal time. a lot of the people they cast were actually from marching bands from local colleges and local dance studios (like i was). they gave us food. but yeah the rehearsals were super super long and i often didn’t get home until about midnight only to get up in the morning for school, leave early, and rehearse for hours again. but at least for my year the choreo was pretty easy. but i definitely took a long ass nap in the field for one of the rehearsals. the only part i think was too far was that our first rehearsal was in an outdoor stadium in late january. it was below freezing out and we were there for hours mostly just standing. idk why they couldn’t put us in the conference center where the rest of our rehearsals was but oh well i guess. but i was only 16 so for me it was more of a cool way to get out of school lmao
and a lot of the “crowd goers” who didn’t do choreo that were cast were cheerleaders from local colleges and official fan clubs of the people performing. so at least in atlanta they didn’t hire from professional dance agencies.
This is actually really common in the research field as well. I'm doing a research position right now where I get paid 10 hours a week even though I work 40, and they pay me just over minimum wage. It's not a livable wage at all, I'm lucky in that I have some scholarship money saved up but it's quickly running out. I get told a lot that I'm lucky that I got the position and that I'm getting my foot in the door with researchers at the university in my state, that it's good lab and field experience. I took it to make my resume look better, because right now people hesitate to hire me because I have no experience in the science field as a job and my previous jobs were temporary positions which make it look like I can't hold a job. I found out that it's not uncommon at all for undergraduate science students to be treated like this, to quote my supervisor "[you all] are just a pair of hands"
If it makes you feel better, this happened to one of my best friends in college who majored in environmental science. She took a field research position that didn’t pay shit, and even in grad school she barely made ends meet with her research position and being a TA. But now she has a fantastic job in her field in Alaska that she absolutely loves. It sucks, but I don’t think this system of undergrad internships (especially in research) will change anytime soon.
@@jenl7094 Thanks, right now does suck but that does make me feel a little better
@@foxi708 hang in there and get that experience! Your resume will look incredible when you’re ready to start job hunting or applying for grad school
what even is a superbowl, can i eat soup with it?
Only compatible with supersoup, supercereal, and superfoods.
No, bc it's a question: soup or bowl
I really want to buy you a mic stand 😂
But I’m not from America. I’m from Australia and this would never happen here, we have laws about this kind of stuff. Minimum rate is $30.00 per hour and you have to get paid for a minimum of 8 hours, even if you are called in for only 1 hour!
Care to be more specific there? Award rates vary from less than 20 an hour, to well above, and not all industries carry minimum pay times unless it's in your contract. We also have a huge history of wage theft that continues to this day, with Subway being one of the latest to come under fire for it. I am so sick of seeing other Australians acting like we have some sort of magic utopia where there are no problems.
And don't even get me started about how many businesses contract people to give "love" hours (which is legally sanctioned shifts with no pay) or how many only stay afloat because they rely on volunteer labour or unpaid internships. Or even the amount of businesses that give out 30 trial shifts a week but never seem to hire anybody, instead taking advantage of the near-limitless cycle of applicants for a role they never intend to fill.
@@Jane-oz7pp We definitely do not have a utopia, but subjectively, it's better that America. It's not great, but it's better.
@@CMThota i dont see how its better. its the same in my eyes.
That would be for a job. I would hope Australia does volunteer work like any other country in the world in which case labor laws would not apply.
I was in the 2018 super bowl a lot of highschoolers older than 16 were in that halftime show. They recruited through high school dance teams, no payment I was a minor of course but it felt like an honor at the time
The NFL has always done this. A lot of the folks standing on the sidelines also aren't getting paid or they're getting paid less than minimum wage like the cheerleaders when you consider the hours the put in versus the wage they receive.
I felt this video on a spiritual level. I'm fighting with a client (soon to be former) that wants to cut my pay by nearly a third and hasn't paid on time in months. Currently looking for more clients, and he knows it. So, he's got me over a barrel and he's cutting the amount he's willing to pay. Until I find more clients, I'm fucked. It's always the cheapest people that are the worst to work for.
I'm still extremely pissed that we didn't get Sweet victory
Me too bro! Talk about the disrespect of the Spongebob fans
I always figured that the Super Bowl couldn't afford good performances. I never realized that they just didn't bother to pay them.
Totally agree with you, and I’d like to add to your comment about the super bowl being a “good resume builder.” The thing that makes it more damning is that an event like that is really only looked at as a good resume builder when really it’s just one event. I would be surprised if a prospective employer would use that one event as the main reason to hire you. I could be wrong but that’s the way I see it. Good job on the video and analysis.
Wow, it's crazy to see how far you've come in 9 months, even crazier to see how consistent the quality in your videos is, even this far back. Thanks for the work you do, the content is tiight
i literally can't wait for this channel to blow up
you deserve it ily
I'm a recently certified medical laboratory scientist and an unpaid internship is required as part of our four year degree for us to get certified. I worked my butt off for six months, often times being the only one working while the actual employees chatted, and I got paid NOTHING. When I asked for a couple days off to go to my graduation ceremony (I had to travel to another state), I had to make it up by working a few ten hour days. They would purposefully give me the less desirable work because they didn't want to do it. Sometimes I worked weekends because then they would actually pay me for those two days, but that meant that I worked twelve days in a row on multiple occasions. But this is somehow justifiable because I was an intern?? Incredibly frustrating. Such a scam.
Dealing with a political candidate right now who won't pay claiming my billed hours are too high among other nonsense.
Sadly I gotta remain professional and can't just say _"Well if designing is so easy and my years of schooling is moot, go back to doing it yourself with your MS Paint looking ass flyers, bish"_ so thanks for providing solidarity and an outlet to this BS.
It’s crazy I’m 9mo late on this but I’m glad you’re giving support for us dancers. We really don’t be getting paid out here and they really take advantage of us just to save a few dollars when they definitely do. This is still a problem to this day soo thank you
rewatching this video now, and its insane how much youve grown, from 8k almost 6 months ago to 115k now! youre so deserving of it and im so happy to see you grow❤️
Its funny to hear this because here in Czech Republic this problem is much worse. People think creative work is something you should do for fun. Even for them.
It’s interesting to watch this video in December 2022. You said “I almost have 8,000 subscribers.” While I am watching, you currently have 312k. Congrats on the growth
fun fact: my best friend was actually in the halftime show in 2022! he told me constantly about the grueling hours just to be a background performer... nice to see someone else talk about this
I performed in the pro-bowl halftime show one year. My cheerleading squad won a contest…but we still had to fundraise for our own plane tickets and hotel rooms. Yay.
AMERICA WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WE CAN DO NO WRONG WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Watching this a year late. Kind of reminds me of college marching bands. The members have to practice dozen of hours a week for a stipend that works out to cents per hour if even anything.
Screw you Pepsi, I'm drinking Coke!
Even Sprite or Dr. Pepper is even better than Crapsi
Dr Pepper is owned by Pepsi, so is 7up and other brands. Just like coke owns sprite and others.
You didn’t think each soda was a individual company did you?
you were just at 8K when this was upload? that's WILD! congrats on the growth after 9 months 💓💓💓
At my old job as a training stylist I had to bring in models who paid for their services, and I literally got paid nothing unless they tipped. It’s shocking how long I put up with that, too. I’m at a much better place now.
my friend in high school was a back up dancer for one of the smaller superbowl performances (i forget who it was, but i think he was from atlanta when the superbowl happened in atlanta a few years ago) and she was out of school for like 2-3 weeks and would come for like first n second period then leave to go to rehearsal downtown every day. she wasnt paid and also was technically doing it illegally bc the dancers had to be 18 but they never asked for ID from any of the dancers which is how she did it at 15. can confirm on the pay and no food or phone thing, at least for back up dancers, bc she would get home at 9/10ish n text me she finally ate that day. she also had to sign a long ass contract for it (again, as a minor) that was basically an NDA. for her, she wants to get into performing for a living so i can see why she did it, but its also so awful how they ran things and that aspiring artists are expected to take unpaid work that disrupts their lives for only “exposure” (they didnt even show the backup dancers on TV for that performance)
I am glad unpaid internships are practically illegal here in Australia. As soon as the intern produces work for the company and is not just observing/learning, they need to get paid.
I had the fortunate opportunity to perform with the drumline that supported Maroon 5 in 2019, and all of this background is ACCURATE
Super (ha) long rehearsal days, no food, no pay, had to pay for our own flights into Atlanta, the only souvenirs I was afforded were some cheap/thin gloves that I kleptoed with the logo on the back. We were bussed into the stadium from offsite at the beginning of the second quarter, then back to that offsite location by the end of the third. Literally saw none of the game with our own eyes
The word SuperBowl is copyrighted by NBC. I have heard other creators mention this in their videos around the same time frame. That could be a reason why the video is getting claimed. At least 1 possible reason.
Pretty sure Superbowl is copyrighted & Trademarked by the NFL not NBC. NFL sells NBC (or CBS or ABC or Fox) a license to broadcast the Superbowl.
The superbowl found the infinite money glitch by having people work for free but to get to work they must buy tickets. Big Brain play.
Ten months ago 8 thoundo subscriberoonies? And you were basically pumping out amesome easily 100-500k subs UA-camr level kind of content? Gabi, you truly are the most marvelous niche commentary find of the year for me💜
Hi as a crowd extra that participated in the super bowl It does look good on our resume but we were actually paid and fed every single practice and every minute that we were there. Even if we spent the time just sitting around we were still being paid.
hhhm. I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that different acts did things differently since its not really being put on by the NFL.
I went to the Universal of Minnesota when the super bowl was in town. The marching band at my school performed and none of them got paid anything. They also had to take time away from classes and studying while continuing their normal marching band duties.
So basically they had to PAY a college tuition to perform the super bowl and massively jack up their semester grades.
Movie extras often don't get paid either.
ONE time, I went to an extra casting call. It was a small film, I doubt much of anybody was going to get paid. But ultimately the producers, and/or director, whoever it was -- they no-showed.
I would imagine networking during the week of rehearsals would be the most beneficial aspect
I had no idea.
Thank you for making this.
"I'm almost at 8000 subscribers!"
Oh naive Gabi. Congrats on your explosive success.
Can't believe you didn't named Prince. He performed in 2011 under massive rainpour, with purple light in it... yep. With purple rain. And best believed he got paid. He was known to be the toughest business man ever - they even called him first to ask if he wanted to *cancel* because of the rain - there's a documentary about it where one of the NFL executives say this word for word. Pretty sure he paid the drum line that performed with him as well, there were no "movers" on stage, although I cannot be certain about this. RIP Prince!
“It’ll only take me 5 minutes, and 7 years of practice” THIS!
Fantastic video! Really funny and informative. Needs more views
The operative woed here is: VOLUNTEER
Take this with a grain of salt, but I have seen artists on mutiple platforms come forth implying that Epic Games sought them out to do loading screens for Fortnite... only for Epic Games to turn around and say" we will only pay you a meager amount for your work. And you cannot put your signature or post your work for us anywhere. The exposure will do plenty."(Paraphrasing of course)
Seeking out specific talent then saying that only your rates of pay matter is so horrendous. It's good to see people finally bringing this to light.
Exposure? I barely knew her…..
I can't wait for the Superb Owl this year!
Gabi hittin us with the fax, no printer, you love to see it
I see a big problem with presenting an opportunity as volunteerism and then using manipulative and coercive tactics to get people to participate. I'm not sure if I totally agree with the thesis that all labor should be paid, because I do believe there are justifiable cases for volunteer based operations. But this is a big money making venture for the league, the venue, the network, and if they are making big money, the labor they employ should have a share.
The double “I think” was pretty funny I think
This shit is the reason why so many people quit dancing, acting and arts. I did aswell. You don't get paid enough, you get exploited and sometimes you wait for months for your pay and suddenly you don't get a dime.
Hey Gabi!! I definitely respect your take on this 100%. There’s one thing I would love your opinion on. So I’m someone who’s heavily involved in Community Theater in the New England area. I love what I do. A lot of these places where I’m from are small production companies that put up shows because we all love doing it. In fact I just finished a show tonight lol. I spent 3 months doing rigorous Rehearsals, worked my butt off, and put up an awesome show and it was all for free, for fun. We all volunteered. While there are SOME production companies in the area that offer pay, most don’t. But none of us ever think of it this way. We don’t get fed, we don’t get transportation. But our love for the theater, to sing dance and act, drives us to do this and we have a wonderful time doing it. Just wanted to know your opinion on that considering you said anything that you put time and work into you should get paid for. What makes the two different? Beyond the obvious “ones the SUPERBOWL and the other is a small production of a show in Mass” again, completely respect your take!!! Just wanted to open the dialogue 😊
well you didn't ask for my opinion, but I have an experience that reminds me of this. Last year I was offered an "opportunity" to work with a very big company that organizes trips for students to the US to study English (I'm from Southamerica). I know the students pay A LOT of money, because I considered doing it before finding out the price. Even so, I as a teacher who would accompany the kids travelling (they were underage), wouldn't be paid, wouldn't be told how many hours and days I'd have to work there, and the flight wasn't even included (plane tickets to US are extremely expensive). Everything they offered was food, stay in the school over there, and *experience*. So I obviously said no. I have taught for free, but in spaces that I know couldn't pay me and because I believed in my work there.
It's not the same working for a project that you believe in, which you know doesn't have money involved because nobody is making money really but you do it bc you enjoy it, than working for a gigantic production / corporation that knows they can have free labor and they don't give a shit about using your time and effort for free. The superbowl makes millions with views, tickets and advertisement. There's no reason why they wouldn't be able to pay everyone that works for the show. The fact that they don't do it, it's because they can get away with it
You bring up a brilliant point!! I think my rant came from her comment of NEVER doing it and I didn’t know if that’s more so where she was coming from. But I completely see in what you mean. Thank you!
@@M1keBTV right, I understand where you're coming from and I agree that it depends on the situation! I imagine she said you should never work for free thinking about the kind of situation where someone tricks you into accepting "benefits" instead of a fair payment

I was in the industry for a long time. Any dancer or actor who has ever booked a few jobs knows that you DO NOT put extra roles on your resume. It is not a thing. The people being aimed at are just people who move well and who want to experience the superbowl- you would be surprised that many people, esp. fans of the artists, loveeee to watch rehearsals. So basically it's you get to watch the rehearsals of an artist you like and you get to see their show for free in exchange for your time. Now, they should just reach out to Central Casting, pay a regular extra fare, offer their background actors Krafty services for food and call it a day. I have no idea why they are being that cheap about it and someone somewhere from the union should say something. But either way nobody is putting this on their resume and anyone who is, is so far outside of the industry that this stint as an extra at the superbowl would not get them anywhere anyways.
I'm not in the industry so I have no knowledge of the ins and outs. Why wouldn't you use extra roles on your resume? I get that majority of the time it's non speaking and probably very little actual screen time but in my mind that has to have SOME kind of value.
PepsiCo paid Beyonce $50 million in 2012 for super bowl halftime show and some commercials
Yesssss another upload from queen gabi
Does this mean that left shark wasn't paid ? 🥺🥺🥺
That’s so crazy that January you were almost 8k, and now in July you’re at _123k!_ That’s amazing, so well deserved, and gives me hope myself- congratulation, and I hope I can osmosis some of your creator skills by studying all of your videos lol
Omg I love the "stupid NFL stupid copyright" watermark on justin timbro lake 💀 lmao
My colorguard Director performed at the lady Gaga halftime show. I had no idea this is what happened
I work at Gillette stadium (where the Patriots play), and most of the concessions workers are unpaid volunteers
They don’t have seats at the stadium? Where do you have to sit? The parking lot??
In Canada, we do not have unpaid internships. If we do, they are not common place. Many companies pay student workers, usually substantially more than minimum wage if it is in a professional settings.
They should absolutely pay them but college is way more of a scam than unpaid internships. I did an unpaid internship and I got hired to the same job as people with masters degrees. Only difference is I don't have soul crushing student debt.
Currently watching this as my dad is watching the superbowl live a room over.... I've got some news for him!
this is literally every job field. no job actually WANTS TO PAY YOU. Not a single job does.
Science research runs on free labor. It's terrible. If you don't have perfect grades, the only way to guarantee you get a good honors thesis placement (free labor required for you to graduate) is to volunteer for free all summer in a lab. Paid positions for undergrads and grad students are based on grants/stipends so they are legally allowed to pay half of minimum wage while still require 45+hr work weeks. All of science and medicine runs on this basis of exploitative labour from undergrad and grad students.
Fun thing as far as the on field dancers go for super bowl 51 aka the ones with mirrors at 2:30. They’re actually dance teams from around the metro area including my old high schools dance team. Apparently they even got to meet Justin Timberlake since they were in his show
I know this was posted months ago but the flipped Ws in the little sign behind you were all I could stare at…
As a non American.
What.
I don't care if the performers don't get paid. But the extras absolutely should.
imagine if all the team of "free workers" decided to wait until the half time to just go ahead and not dance and be like "the superbowl makes us practise hours FOR FREE" as a public exposure
if they told me to be the representant, and knew about this, I would say yes just to then not perform and instead just send the superbowl team to shit
When I was doing freelance graphic design, a friend of mine asked me to design their twitch graphics. So profile icon, notifications, emotes, overlay, etc. I said I'd see what I could come up with. After making the profile picture, they then said "oh and I can't really pay for this tbh. Can you just hook me up as a friend?" Like how about hook me up as a friend and pay me. At least buy me a pizza or something. I politely said it would have to be on my back-burner and quietly never finished it because they practically ghosted me anyway. Getting paid in "exposure" statistically only results in maybe 1-2% click through to a purchase. So if 100 people were explicitly given links and contact info to my work, maybe 1 or two would actually buy a commission.
Watching this almost exactly a year after hearing her say she has 8K and her now having 338K makes me so proud
this is why i love Gabi's videos so much. she has such good opninions and she gets them out and formulate in the best way possible, and also the research she does is impeccable
We have the same crap here in the UK with Charity Telethons. If you're a Celebrity, you'll get an expenses cheque, if you're a Dancer or a "member of the public" in a rehearsed segment then....sorry,it's for Charity!
Or you could just put it on your resume, who tf are they going to call to check?
Yo I remember being at work watching TV when we thought SpongeBob was gonna play at the superbowl, I rioted when sicko mode dropped instead 😔
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they had to pay for tickets to participate.
Good video, as usual!
Unpaid internships ares till a plague in Poland.
Fortunately, one of the former presidents vowed to fight them, only for us to find our his cabinet was full of free interns
It’s absolutely horrible that professional dancers are being taken advantage of and not getting paid but I do know that for the 2018 halftime performance, my high school dance team and other schools around me (local to the area the Super Bowl was) was invited to be dancers in the crowd. To me it makes sense why they were not paid and the girls still talk about how it was one of the coolest experiences of their lives. This still doesn’t take away from the fact that professionals are having to deal with the problem of unpaid labor
It's called supply and demand. Is it shitty sure, but until people say no it isn't going to change.
I kinda get why artists would do this for free, it's kinda like there super bowl advertising spot and the label probably views it as a valueless opportunity to have their artist in front of millions without having to invest the labels money for advertising, especially if they have a new album or single out. but also by doing so the super bowl will get used to it an won't pay artists out for the performance in future unless the industry really turns round and demands, but then they could just get smaller artists to do it who'd be super eager to have millions listen to their music.
9 months and you went from "almost 8.000 subscribers" to 280.000 AS YOU DESERVE
the only way this is going to change is if the talent stops agreeing to participate
This video: "I'm almost at 8k Subscribers"
Me watching this 1 year later when you have over 500k subscribers: 😲😲
When I attended * unnamed university in SoCal * as a music major, we would often act as the ensemble for headliners in LA and Hollywood (Andrea Bocelli, John Williams, etc.). Several weeks of rehearsals led up to the performances, during which we would often spend hundreds of dollars on transportation, as well as up to 9 hours a day on set without dressing rooms or break areas. Meanwhile, our university was pocketing the money and never let us see a dime of it. Because we were still students and not yet members of any union for professional musicians, we were cheap labor and easy to exploit. We were expected to behave and perform at a professional level, but not to be treated or paid as such.
Side Note: The Bocelli family and J.W. were always kind to us, so I hold no ill will towards them!
