Sorry, but that's stupid... Being exploited and loving it - more sounds like an mental illness then passion. You can keep your passion - even when you get paid fairly... But enjoy your happiness in slavery, if you like. Bad thing is you hurt people who may need fair compensation (wife, kids etc. ) for their work, because you show the suits they can find people stupid enough to do so... ▶ this video

Yelp may be in trouble for that claim. SEE A Adam Ruins Everything (Why You Should Tell Coworkers Your Salary) ▶ this video
