I love freelancing for all of the reasons you mentioned. The most important one for me is being able to choose who I work with. I have high ethical standards related to honesty and sales tactics that many potential employers and clients don’t share. I also care about liberty and justice for all, and don’t want to work with anyone who deliberately spreads misinformation, especially hate speech that encourages violence. The freedom to set my own schedule is great, too, because I’m a night owl.
I hear you, and I think that ethics is a vital consideration. Certainly, it's guides my decisions n who I want to work with. It's also why I tend to focus on informative or educational writing, rather than sales copy that tends to use emotional language to push people to act in a certain way.
Yes, same here. If I ever write sales copy, it will only be for a product or company I have had a good experience with and would recommend to a friend.

timely idea for a post!
my favorite part is that the gig travels extraordinarily well...this planet can make for a sweet office.
