Say 'yes' if the claim is true otherwise say 'no'
Q: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : I hate choosing beggars.  I'm an artist myself and I understand that it's immensely important to value people's creative efforts and to pay for their time.

However, being an artist, I'm super fuckin poor lmao.

Right now (literally right now) I'm trying to start a digitally published magazine for poetry, photography, and short fiction. I am doing this entirely by myself, and I'm wondering if it's reasonable to reach out to people who I know are amateurs/unrecognized photographers and such to try to get a front cover photograph....without paying for it, at least for the first issue.  This would literally be one of those "but the exposure!!" kinds of things.  With just that, I think i'm the asshole, but there's some context for how these magazines generally work and how I will be structuring it:

&amp;#x200B;

\-submitting to a magazine with your work often requires you to pay $3-5 and does not guarantee that your work will be accepted and published

\-you often are not paid even if it is published for non-huge, nationally recognized magazines.  I've personally been published eight times and have paid a total of like $100 to submit everything and have not seen a cent back (though now it's on my resume, in my author's bio, and it's valuable experience).  

\-the magazine I'm starting will be partially devoted to charity (20-25% of all profits to a different charity every issue)

\-I'm planning to, if I reject submissions, offer critiques of the work submitted so that the submission fee doesn't feel like money in the trash

\-basically, the cover-art-submitter wouldn't be any less paid than anyone else in the entire magazine for the first issue. all accepted submitters get a copy of the magazine for free for themselves and their friends and family, of course

&amp;#x200B;

Am I the asshole? or am I just playing into an asshole system? Is there any non-asshole way to go about saying "hey, you know that work you have put into this product? can I have it for free in exchange for publicity?"   Is it non-assholeish specifically because reaching out to them and featuring their work is validation of their efforts?
A:
no
