Authors face deadlines.
Coders face deadlines.
Ad creators face deadlines.
Engineers face deadlines.

All these folk create.
Why should a small group get paid long past the time on the job?
The major differences are that coders etc. are paid at the time, that their labor belongs to someone else, so to speak, and that the remuneration is fixed, unlike authors who aren’t paid as they write (except for an elite) and who work for themselves for an uncertain payoff. What bothers me most is the retroactive gift to authors who signed on for 28 + 28 from publication date and have gotten life +95 (in the US).
