REFLECTION
There is a real line here and it often gets drawn in the wrong place. Adjusting how you present something so more people can receive it is craft, and it costs you nothing that mattered. Changing what you are willing to say or do because of what it pays is a different transaction, and that one is hard to reverse.
Before the next compromise, ask which of the two you are being offered. Would you still be comfortable explaining this choice to someone who knew you five years ago. Style can flex indefinitely. Keep a short list of what cannot.
Which change would you refuse even for a bigger paycheck?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
