@NoContextHumans Your mom gets home and takes off her Mission Impossible mask:
"There. Now maybe he'll stop settling for trash."

We went from the desire to be seen and find community to the desire to be rich and famous.
Even the comments about going back are mostly because people want an era where standing out was easier. Not an era where that wasn't the goal.
The Internet used to be an anonymous void. That was the good part.
The attention, influencing, everything is marketing, we are all stars now Internet is the opposite.
@smileyquixote The sheer amount of anti-[insert gender] content that seems to be on the rise every day is disturbing. And the number of people clapping in the comments on this stuff is deeply deeply unsettling. So yeah. Hard agree (if that's what this was about).
@andrewpprice@gumroad Also the gumroad has a chair, a couch, curtains, and a 10 year old guide from a defunct course...
I think most of these you've given away free and mentioned them in your videos, which got you views, which grew your channel, which got you paid.
So it worked.
@andrewpprice@gumroad All jokes aside about PLS (though I do check *every* sale), you are one of the biggest names in Blender and it seems like you're financially doing great. If someone is just learning or a hobbyist, my guess is they see your relative well-doing and just don't think you need it.
@nounproject For instance, while the sales page implies you are allowed to access/use the icons in the subscription without attribution, the license implies that you can't use the icons without attribution unless you purchase a direct license for it. Which is it?
@nounproject Had your pro service for a bit, but after reading your terms in-depth, decided to cancel my renewal. It seems like using your icons in any game/product I make will potentially lead to breaking the license if over 1,000 copies are sold of a given game. Is that so?
@nounproject Specifically this section is very difficult to parse out. It would be nice to understand how your subscription might be used in the context of a game or app. Thank you.
Just a casual reminder that if you vocally hate AI art because it steals from artists without permission to create and promote people who couldn't do that on their own, you might want to delete all of your art reels that say "original audio" but use music you didn't pay for.
If anyone says "But it's trending" or "you don't get visibility otherwise." Yeah, no kidding. But you wouldn't let an AI artist get away with that logic.
Imagine if musicians took your art to post their music and paid you 1/100000th of a penny for it. You do this.
Chill. Out.
