This question keeps coming up no matter how many times we and our followers answer it. This is probably the third time we're posting this...but it'll be the last. We are tired of repeating ourselves for folks who refuse to ask other yt folks, do a simple search, or just read through comments first. This type of entitlement to our time and labor is a hidden part of the yt supremacy that we have to fight against daily.

Honestly, our labor is CONSTANTLY being taken advantage of. Do you know how many times a person straight up abandons a Labor Request Form because we ask for payment first? EVERY. SINGLE. SUBMISSION. Of course, there are some followers who will PayPal us after we educate them on our posts and in the comments, and those folks are amazing. They understand the value of our time and efforts and show us appreciation in a tangible way. But most folks leave when we ask to be paid for educating them beyond what we already provide for free. And that's OK! Just don't come back 🤷🏽‍♀️ 👍🏽

[Image text: A lot of people ask us why we say hueless, yt, whyte, Pales, and other variations instead of saying the actual word.

We use these alternative words because social media as a whole has been banning activists of color and deleting our posts for using the correct spelling. They've deemed it "hate speech" against yt folks, no matter what context we use it in.

TTBG has had 3 Facebook pages shut down due to this. All of our labor was completely erased and all of the knowledge and time we put into hundreds of posts was wasted.]
