Compromising in a level playing field, with mutual, agreeable levels of respect and boundaries, are joyous collaborations for me, but still founded in collaboration first.
I'd also dealt with people who insisted on others compromising to their whims. I've agreed when there is enough potential value for me (recognition, street cred, money, "need the money", etc.), and have walked away when there isn't, or the boundaries / ethics disagreed with mine.
A key point of collaboration is acknowledging the skills, values and boundaries of everyone involved. If everyone is open and honest, it breed better communication, and thus a better chance of success or recognition that a change has to happen.
