As someone who's written novels, I find that cheapening of the value of my time, effort, and creativity very disheartening.
In the meantime, I have a book I need to be ghostwriting, so I will try to bow out, but I doubt I'll be able to.

Welcome to the real world pal. I'd like to get paid more too, but there is a concept called supply and demand. When you raise the price of something 50% oddly enough the demand goes down. Imagine what that will mean for suppliers long term financial health? Do you think McDonald's would sell as many Big Macs if they raised the price by 50% over night? No increase in size, quality or availability, just an increase in price. Why do content producers think that they are immune from the basic rules of economics???
