I don’t really have a problem with the concept, broadly.
I’m not a published author or anything, but with a lot of creative stuff I’ve done I haven’t so much “finished it” as I have “sucked it up and decided to share it at a certain point even though I wasn’t 100% happy with it.” And I can’t imagine it’s much better for a lot of professionals.
But when someone says it’s to make the work “more modern…” That’s not a red flag, but it’s yellow for sure. That description can cover a lot of ground.
And it’s definitely a red flag when that version outright replaces the older one. It’s giving George Lucas.
