I recently shared Sapling with a friend and within about 30 seconds, they were making a purchase. I love it when people find something that speaks to them and they just have to have it.

I'd really like to add some more features to https://t.co/fifnvOQ0gJ, but I'm feeling stuck on what to do. I really want to add things that will help Sapling find a wider audience for the amazing shops on the site right now. Maybe a mobile app? Any ideas? #art #SmallBusiness

This is a very good takedown by TechCrunch of the claim today from Microsoft & a16z that machines should have 'the right to learn'. Recommend reading the whole article.

And hot take: the mentality of "I'll wait for a cheaper dupe for a product I want" is actually supporting theft!!!!!! It's such a common mentality now and it's genuinely ruining people's livelihoods! For gods sake just buy from the original creator

[🌱 Sapling 🌱 @shop_sapling]

It makes me so mad that we are at a stage where blatantly stealing ideas, content, designs, etc. is super common and even normalized/accepted

[🌱 Sapling 🌱 @shop_sapling]

It was bad enough to see copied text posts or reposts without credit, but now it's soo common to see impersonation scams, product design theft/dupes, and whole videos copied down to the editing and recipes 🫠🫠🫠

@jamirblanco Everyone made fun of Blue Lock's animation but apparently one (1) guy worked on 5 episodes by himself. Never blame the animators.

This is why we founded Sapling!! The art community is so fragmented now 😢 We want to reunite creators and their supporters in a space without algorithms, AI, or NFTs

it is really really hard to see engagement tanking so bad on this site when it's literally directly correlated to whether I make ends meet or not 😭😭😭 forever bitter that some guy can ruin hundreds of thousands of peoples livelihoods for funsie
