Getting paid for something you made is not scummy.

If you want to get paid, asking for payment is the most honest thing you can do.

If you expect to be paid, requiring payment is the most honest thing you can do. It also means you don’t deal with people who would never pay you.

Hoping is not a plan.

Youve raised some good points. I'll take them into consideration.
