A non-existent form of payment, similar to unicorn piss and mermaid scales. The term "exposure" is only used to trick artists into working for free. If poor people use it, they can't afford art and thus shouldn't get it. If successful people or companies use it, they could pay. But they just choose not to since some artists will fall for this "exposure"-scam nontheless.
"I'm starting a Let's Play-channel on Youtube and could use an avatar, header and some thumbnail art! I already have 103 people following me on twitter. I'll give you tons of exposure!"
"Our company is looking for awesome artists to draw our mascot! Your images will be shown on our instagram! Get on it, artists!"
"I'm a super successful streamer, I'm looking for a few new emotes." - "What do you mean I have to pay?! DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I was gonna pay you in exposure but I guess you're too greedy for that."
