I'd like to propose a ban to any all unpaid work that advertises itself as for the sake of exposure or other.etc

Furthermore in doing so I believe that workplaces will benefit from better BAME representation too, as these internships/roles will be more accessible to those who wouldn't have otherwise had the luxury to afford it.
