making money is a skill that people with genuine passion and talent usually lack

Professionalism and expertise are not the same thing.
A lot of people who are innovators are passionate about the thing they're doing and not concerned about making money
because that is not what motivates them. They may opt to be unemployed for large swats of time because
they're more fulfilled working on whatever it is that they do care about.

If you sell your time to someone else for money you typically wont be able to work on what you are passionate about
but rather loop over a process which you are already very familiar with and can sell as a commodity.
Someone who isn't bound to perform moving thru familiar pattern can keep exploring areas they're yet unfamiliar with
and therefore evolve at a much more rapid pace because you invest your time in yourself instead of making money.

This is how you end up with them basement dwellers that can outshine pros by miles.

This.

Those people making passion projects would kill themselves if they had to work on generic garbage.

as someone who's been working in 3d for over 20 years.

The best artists 3d/tech artists I know, havent updated their portfolios, reels since they got their first job which could be 10/15/25 years ago. they can get whatever job they want with experience on their resumes.

whereas the kid on youtube, spends his time working on his reel because he needs a good one to get a job because he has no experience.

Don't know anything about it, but pros used to be like those amateurs. By that, I mean they learned by having fun with it; constantly experimenting and publishing it to a community that enjoys it.

because to make money off of retards off the internet you need sociopathy and narcissism, not passion and talent.

Not defending shit work but
>they all want to work for over a $100 an hour
there's your answer.
They want to work.
The amateurs may know their shit for sure but they're more interested in being their own boss and begging donations on patreon or whatever.

Professionals don't use upwork, same as they don't use fiverr. >>867124

If you want to find professionals, look in professional environments.
You wouldn't hire a lawyer or surgeon off http://ahmed.discountpros4u.in either.

I would gladly offer the money to whichever faggot is asking that much but the issue is that their portfolios suck and I don't give a shit if some jag off is telling me otherwise so I could hire them. You're type of thinking is why soulless nepotism runs rampant in this industry.

I just checked some of the animators on upwork and there's literally faggots on there who worked on some big picture projects. Granted their input might have been minimal to maybe even just delivering coffee.
