Bravo brotha!!!
I wrote a different perspective, but in the same vein nonetheless: https://medium.com/i-hate-freelancing/i-hate-freelancing-2f0460a693b7
Most people think freelancing is the bees knees, but you are very accurate in your disdain for the, ahem, profession (is it really though or just a waiting period until our real endeavors pop off?).
Freelancing is a means to an end in my book. As a writer, I would prefer to use my skills to create products (eBooks, videos, etc.). I would prefer to have a 9-5 than dealing with the unrealistic attitudes of some people.
You can't tell that to some people. They rather freelance and suffer than ever work for the Imagine Dragon again.
