Nice article. Never went but I have been to ComicCon. The signing/photo with celebrities is a big business, and of course not limited to Star Trek conventions. Here’s an article on it: hollywoodreporter.com/…/stars-getting-rich-fan-co…
Thanks and good feedback, probably something I guess is just a reality these days. For me it feels like, without the fans the actors wouldn’t have jobs so why not give out autographs and photos for free supporting the people who support you?
I've never been to a con, and likely never will, but it's a lot of work for an actor to be there. They take time out of their lives, have to be charming, and operate the assembly line of autographs on a multi day event. I'm not sure there's a clearly correct answer, but them being there is a real job with real work. Having them do it all gratis is a big ask.
