Most people I’ve met doing anything like this for less than minimum wage are absolutely doing it for fun, or to help their communities.

If they sometimes assign the job to their friend Josh instead of the faceless general contractor 3 towns over, can you blame them?

And if that friend Josh then sometimes pays them 10% in kickbacks, can you blame them for taking it? They are putting so much work in for so little, after all.
