1. Interesting video.
I just do see what any of it has to do with translators.

2. Those are all the ways that clients try to take advantage of translators. nt

3. Hmmm. But there's no obvious or clear
connection between translators and the services being "negotiated" in the video. It's probably quite meaningful to those who work in the translation field, but for those of us with no connections at all to it, it's just weird.

4. Excellent for all freelancers.
Way to hang tough, Todd! The problem is, so much of us are so desperate for work that some are willing to settle, and that wrecks it for the rest of us.

5. That is very good!
Very well done and certainly nails the problem, imo.
