It's been known in creative fields - including software - forever that payment in "influence" is worthless.

It's been a meme for decades.

You're thinking of exposure, not influence. And the payment is what an individual agrees to. If you don't agree to doing work to gain influence, that's up to you, just like I don't agree to doing work for bitcoins or Pokémon cards.
