Thank you @thomasrobertgent! Yeah dude lol unfortunately a lot of the rant was coming from real life experiences.

but on the other hand these people where paying by the hour to be there and kinda ripping themselves off.

Yeah dude, you nailed it. I just don't understand where they're coming from in that regard lol. I understand everyone is in it for different reasons, and I don't expect everyone to want to make a career out of it, but jeez.

I think image is definitely important, sure, but it's the icing on the cake IMO. If the cake has a bad taste to begin with, the icing likely won't help :).
