Your photos, captions, code and voice notes already taught somebody's model. Licensing rates exist. Payment routes exist. What is missing is the count.
Nobody told the average person they were a supplier. Every caption, review, reply and clip you posted moved value — just not toward you.
You wrote it, defended it, and handed it over. Then it was cited, taught, translated and mined — and the payment stopped at the acknowledgements page.

Text is the cheapest thing in the world to copy and the most expensive thing to replace. Writers are paid as if copying never happens.
