Vent: That $50 client who wanted 3 rounds of revisions on a $200 logo

I keep seeing people on here say they charge $50 for a logo and then act surprised when the client treats them like a puppet. You set the bar low, they keep pulling. I had a guy last spring ask for 3 total redesigns after I already sent him 5 concepts. He paid $200 total. I spent 12 hours on that job. After the third round I told him I'd need another $100 to keep going. He ghosted me. Who's really losing here?

100%. Same thing happened to me with a deck job last year. Walked away.

Honestly I used to think charging low was just part of getting started but this post kinda woke me up. Like you really do get what you pay for and then some people just push and push. I'm definitely not gonna undervalue myself like that again.
