Why's it matter who's doing it? I mean, who ever it is, they just want some fun marketing photos...

Nothing matters really.

It's all about irony, a concept you haven't learned about yet.

Irony: Bragging about big rich sponsors for the supposedly "Pro" team of a very very expensive car and yearly budget, and an unwillingness to pay a fair market price for promotional crap intended to promote themselves so they can keep very rich sponsor and other potential sponsor impressed so they can get more money to pretend they are serious competitors, rather than amateurs posing as Professionals.

Their operation is a facade, a phony "image" and they're trying to get stuff on the cheap.

If they were serious, they would pay fair market value just like they do for other products and services...but NOOOOooooooooooOOOOO!

Irony....

Just as a reference point: $50 buys you just under 7 hours at Michigan minimum wage.

That said, people who cut corners on quality usually end up paying the price in the end.

sounds like JV has been short changed on a modeling job or two, not likely involving nudes or anything like that.
