The promotion effect seems like a fair trade IMO.

I was a software freelancer at one point. I would've traded 5 days of work for getting my business (and face) in front of 30 million people.

That's essentially what professional develoeprs who maintain popular open source projects are doing.

Huge difference between the two. You have the opportunity to write SW that all those 30 million people can buy. A wedding photographer in Seattle doesn't really care if someone in Houston sees her work.

Also it's not comparable to missing 5 days of work. There's more work involved and it'll take longer than 5 days. It's not like they do 5 shoots every week.
