Ask Why do the clients who pay the least always come with the most demands?

[Brendan]

It is something many freelancers notice early on: the clients with the smallest budgets tend to send the most messages, ask for the most revisions, and expect the fastest turnaround. It feels like lower pay somehow leads to higher expectations, which makes those projects drain more energy than they should. Higher-paying clients often trust the process more and give you room to work. Why do you think this pattern keeps repeating, and have you found a way to avoid these kinds of clients?
