This meme features Heath Ledger's iconic portrayal of The Joker from the 2008 film The Dark Knight. During a tense meeting with Gotham's mob bosses, the Joker famously quips, 'If you're good at something, never do it for free,' after being questioned about his motives and his fee for killing Batman. The line has transcended its cinematic origins to become a staple of internet culture, often used as a piece of cynical yet practical business advice. It is frequently employed to mock people who ask for free work from artists and freelancers, or to humorously justify charging for niche skills. The meme remains a powerful symbol of self-worth and the dark side of hustle culture.
