If you make more than $2 per month in profit from RB sales they’re now gonna start taking between 20-50% of that away from you as an “account fee,” unless you’re extra special and they give you a fancy Premium Account. let me say that again: if you are a small-time seller on Redbubble, they are going to start taking up to 50% of your earnings from it away. The lower your earnings are, the HIGHER the percentage they take.
Y'all, I don’t make a lot of money from Redbubble, I don’t have many designs up and I don’t publicize my store much. But this is just fucking wrong. Redbubble already makes a profit on every item they sell, while artists make slim, single-digit percent margins.
I can’t say this hard enough:
Fuck Redbubble for this.
Don’t sell your stuff there anymore. Don’t buy stuff anymore either. You are not supporting small artists when you buy Redbubble, you are supporting a big fuckoff company that exploits them.
Donate directly to an artist’s kofi instead if you want to support them. Go to a local print shop if you want custom tees. Stop using Redbubble.
please spread this if you care about your artist friends. this should outrage you 10x anything OpenAI is doing.
maybe wander around the house/stretch a little if you’ve been sat at the computer a while (artists especially: sTRETCH THOSE WRISTS)
reply to that text/message from earlier you’d forgotten about
maybe send a nice lil message to someone having a bad day?
I just would like to thank everyone who ever reblogs this so that it somehow ends up back on my dash because I usually need the reminder (especially the drinking water one)
Of all posts to see with a million notes, I’m glad it’s this one.
So I’ve been warning people to not use the tumblr live feature, and I had this discussion in the notes of one of the people I warned.
Said person already used live themselves, and was not aware of what all TumblrLive’s partner MEETME collects with its feature. So I wanted to take the time to make a post going over the Priivacy Policy for anyone who is interested.
For the first part here, MEETME talks about how creating an account (downloading) (or having a tumblr account that auto updated to include the tumblr live feature (which is a vast majority of the tumblr mobile population in the US rn)) automatically makes any information they collect visible to any of the partners they have.
The three partners mentioned there, Skout Flurv and Boy Ahoy, are all dating sites that promote primarily their location tracking. Fuck all knows what they want with your live data. Most likely they want to advertise singles near you??? But MEETME’s other current partners are apps like PlentyfFish Zoosk Chispa and Badoo which is Match.com and Bumble.
The main important parts to notice from section ii of the Privacy Policy, is the location information, limit mobile ad tracking, and do not track signals. The rest of the section mainly puts the onus of revealing private information that can be used maliciously on the user. Ie. don’t share your password, say your full name in a live video, where you live etc.
As far as the location information goes, what it’s saying here, is that they collect the location information when you first register for tumblr live, when you first log in, and whenever your phone is on even if you’re not using tumblr live.
What does it use this information for??? Well advertising purposes of course!!!
Now, they try to get around saying they don’t track your location or share it with other users by using this word “precise” several times. Now what that means is they have a rough geotag of your location.
(Your ip address. They don’t say here its your ip address, but in later parts of the document they do in fact say they collect your ip address. If you want an idea how close an ip address can get to your exact location, enter your ip address in google maps sometime.)
They’re being intentionally vague about that. So when you see, on the live tab, something that says “near you” you could probably not follow that exactly to said persons house, but you can damn well be you will at the very least find their city.
Heres a reminder to all of you who haven’t, most phones now bury in the settings an option to disable adID. Do it now!!! But remember that TumblrLive can still use all other information they gather. They do not at all process do not track signals, so you arent safe there. And what data would that be that they can collect other than your location and adID??? Glad you asked!!!
This is a non exhaustive list, which means there is DEFINITELY other data they collect about and from you.
so they collect:
your email and phone number
any info in your tumblr bio
any metadata connected to any photo youve ever uploaded
adID
ip address
cookies and beacon
which devices you use
which features you use
which pages you visit
which chats you use
anything in your private chats or posts
anything from any connected social media accounts
how well ads are doing
what youre interested in
and in some cases even your biometric information
and what do they do with this information???
ads of course
-and to give anything they want to cops. :)
I don’t make this post in order to, like, ruin people’s fun when it comes to this new feature, or to try to talk down to anyone, or make anyone feel stupid, or anything. I’m not here to make fun of people, or belittle anyone, but I think its real fucking important people know what privacy rights they are forfeiting by having their phone on right now with this new feature.
Also everyone please feel free to give a kind fuck you to tumblrs current ceo @photomatt .
One of my favourite post formats is when someone with a similar URL to op torments them like they are failed clones of each other and it completely changes the tone of the original post.
One of our siblings was murdered recently, and you need to know about it.
TW // transphobia and violence against trans people
Brianna Ghey was a 16-year-old trans girl from Warrington, England. On Saturday, February 11th 2023, Brianna was found dead on the side of a park with multiple stab wounds. Two 15-year-olds have been taken into custody in connection with her murder.
People in the Warrington area have alleged that Brianna was being bullied in school, and that neither the administration nor the police did anything.
Despite this, local police have said there is no evidence that the attack was hate-based and most news articles don’t mention her status as a trans woman. This is deliberate. This is genocide by the hands of transphobes and TERFs.
Britain does not have gender self-identification (your legal gender being determined by how you identify and not any arbitrary medical requirements), meaning even in her death she will be deadnamed and misgendered on her death certificate.
She deserved so much better.
Mourn the dead, and fight like hell for the living.
