Stumbled on a stat about NDA compliance rates and it shook me

I was reading through a freelance survey from last year and saw that only 23% of video freelancers actually read the NDAs they sign before big gigs. That number surprised me because I always thought I was being paranoid by going through every clause. Has anyone else found a random stat that made you rethink your whole process?

Always thought NDAs were mostly boilerplate nonsense until I ran into a clause that tried to take ownership of my backup footage forever. That 23% stat makes sense now because most people probably just sign and hope for the best. Definitely changed how I approach every document now, no matter how small the gig is.

Always thought NDAs were mostly boilerplate" - thats how they get you, the real traps hide in plain language.

That 23% is honestly higher than I expected for a group that complains about clients not reading their contracts.
