I wouldn’t advise this for a couple reasons. First, your workload doesn’t become less, it just transforms to be project management which is its own beast to deal with. (1)

Second, people working for free want to collaborate, not be told exactly what to do. If you know exactly what you want and they disagree, it suddenly doesn’t become worth it for them. They have nothing to lose and you’ll be left to clean up the mess. (2)

So it’s not really about it being unethical to have people work for free for you (if that’s what they want), it’s simply unwise. I personally would never allow someone to. I’d either pay them cash or collaborate with revshare so interests are aligned (3)

I agree with all that

Plus you'd be spending majority of your time explaining how something works or how you don't like exactly how the thing was done or debugging technical issues people are having. Would be a nightmare and would push nykra back years.

I would 100% agree with, and recommend this. It becomes much more time managing people. I've only ever managed 2 people other than myself at one time and trust me, it is a LOT.

I agree with all 3 of you, you’re all totally right. Though there’s a part of me that feels there are some things people can do that wouldn’t cause much mess or require much explaining. A lot of my fans who have followed for ages would be capable of writing generic NPC dialogue
