It's pretty common in humanities in particular. It's much rarer in scientific, engineering, or technological fields.

As a guideline, if the field has money to go around and companies have to compete for interns, they'll pay. If would-be interns have to compete for a few internships and the field famously struggles with budgets of two beans and a bit of string, they won't.

Let's say Netflix['s production company] were to auction the opportunity to work with them on this project (for clarity: the winning photographer pays).

Q1: Are we suggesting there would no bidders?

Q2: If "the market fixes stuff" why can't the market fix this?
