Copying from my comment below for context:

Job openings like these are messing things up for creatives who specialize in one area.

Now everyone looks for video editors who do audio. No more jobs for sound guys.

If you do graphic design, you are now expected to do animation and web design as well. Some even want you to do social media and video.

People who post things like these only want to save a buck. Heck that’s why they outsource the jobs in say the Philippines and India. They don’t want to pay their local rates.

And some Asian folks like this too because the going rate is higher than local rate here.

But it’s literally ruining the livelihood of people in other fields.

    Yep I really don’t think their asking that the person be a professional graphic designer and VFX producer.

    Sounds like they want someone who can use imovie and canva.

        Oh come on you don’t need to downvote me for that. I’m not a professional on a computer, I’m a disabled bedridden person who is unable to use computers. Just let me exist please.

        Nor am I a native english speaker :)

        Edit: Lmao this guy went and downvoted every single one of my recent comments because of this.

            Vote manipulation always deserves downvotes if the mods don’t take more appropriate action.

              Nobody needs more mod action, especially on stuff like this. Perhaps on CP or bots, but not really here.

              You want lemmy to turn into Reddit and have a super power mod max perma ban you because you didn’t follow rule 54038 of the side bar, but actually it was because the mod didn’t like you and was having a bad day ?

              Me personally I’d prefer someone salty downvoting every post and lose meaningless internet points than having mods riding everyone, increasing the likelihood of runaway abusive mods. The perfect is the enemy of the good enough.

                  It’s not that i disregard the fact that they’re people. I simply believe people in positions of authority and executive action in society, wherever it may be, must be held to a higher standard of conduct and be audited by people other than their friends.
