Mofu Mollis ☁🐾 | Illustrator (@mofu_asb) reported💞Here's my own personal guide on how to be a respectable Artist and to be a great art Customer💞 ARTISTS: - Japanese communities still use hashtags, idk why we killed the habit of using them and deemed them cringe. The statement that using even one kills your engagement is a huge cope of people who blame the algo of their art not being successful. Japanese people actively go through their fandom or fave character tags, this is why I built up a sizable Japanese following on this account. Stop using shadowbans as an excuse, use at least one hashtag so if your post goes viral people will find your commission post. Btw using said JP hashtags might get you some new friends from Japan, use for example: ウマ娘 (Umamusume), 葬送のフリーレン (Frieren), ホロライブ(Hololive) etc. - Have an email in your bio for the love of god and close your dms for the sake of your own sanity. - Learn to communicate with your customers, social anxiety is not an excuse to reduce everything to 2 clicks anymore. If you do business you need to be professional and speak to people. This is going to be harsh but commissions need revisions, if you can't hold up basic communication this line of work isn't suited for you at the moment. If you're under 18 I'd completely steer away from accepting work until you learn basic etiquette and to protect yourself from predators reaching out to you using commissions as an excuse. - Use business Paypal, hide your personal info. You don't need any extra site, just do work through google forms or email. - B-B-But the bad algo- SSSSHHH.. 🤫 Stop whining and start creating. The algo changed so you need to put in more effort to do research on what's popular. The time of blowing up through artstyle exclusively is over. Still happens, but now you have to either draw lots of fanart of popular shows/games, or become a yapper and build connections with fellow artists or viewers. It has become much harder, but it's not impossible. Stop blaming the game instead of learning the rules. I believe in you! - Don't use AI. You won't be able to hide it and you'll destroy your own credibility with the shortcut. Not worth it, plus it destroys the Earth. Draw those titties instead of generating them, it will feel much more satisfying, promise. COMMISSIONERS: - Reach out to artists through google forms or email in their bio. Ask them about their rates. I get emails like that constantly and I always happily answer. - Stop telling artists to register to art commission sites. There are no good sites like those anymore, I won't elaborate. - Start browsing hashtags again. If you do so you give artists engagement and make them happy cause their art will be seen again and you will find better commissions as well, a great deal for everyone. - You WILL have to put in the effort to learn how to distinguish AI from real art. This isn't anyone's fault but Silicon Valley's, don't blame the artists, blame the ones who spoiled the game for everyone. It's all for your own good to detect signs of a SEA sweatshop studios, or someone tracing AI. There are a multitude of guides out there, before you hire an artist read through them to stay updated. Ask friends, mutuals, your mom, downstairs neighbour etc. The downside is that it will take more than 2 clicks and a cardswipe. - Only do payment through Paypal for now. I know for Americans it's tempting to do local bank transfer or other payment processors like Zelle or Cashapp, but as of right now Paypal has the best artist and buyer protection of all of them. The fees are high, but from my own experience it is worth for the protection. - Artists and commissioners alike WILL have to communicate. Ask your artists questions. Learn commissioner etiquette and read the TOS of an artist if there's one, most reliable ones have one. Don't be afraid to check in periodically, but not until it's your slot's turn. You most likely will have 1 or 2 free revisions, use them if you need to. Here's how the commission process should go: 1. Reaching out, agreeing on rates, deadline, personal or commercial usage 2. Paying invoice (NO FRIENDS AND FAMILY never pay those) 3. Artist thanks you and gives you an approximate timeframe of your slot coming up in queue 4. Artist lets you know it's your turn, estimated time of completion 5. Artist sends you a sketch/wip, you ask for adjustments if needed 6. Artist delivers your full completed piece, sends you a high-res version in email or a Drive link Feel free to ask for it, it should be the norm of receiving a minimum of 300dpi version If at any time you feel uncomfortable tell the artist. If things can't be worked out say that you'd like a refund or if it's not possible and you feel the urge to chargeback, please make sure to try and work it out in private. I understand that the temptation of dropping a Google Dockey on here is high, the calling of the sweet engagement is alluring but you also need to act professional if you'd like to be treated that way by an artist. Only go public if there's no other way of resolving things. - Red flags for possible scammer artists: - ChatGPT-like mannerism - Overly positive - Literally has nothing but random "art" on their account, all in different styles (especially random esports banners) - No email anywhere - Suspiciously cheap pricing for seemingly high-quality art. - Extremely fast turnover rate or uploading art daily for a long period. (Sometimes people on holiday draw daily, that shouldn't be suspicious by itself) - Sudden spike in art quality, huge improvement in a very short (1-2 months) period of time. It strongly indicates AI usage but always double, triple, quadruple check, sometimes people literally just sit down and cram anatomy and rendering courses or Youtube videos for days. Sudden improvement alone is not a scammer indicator, you need extra nuance to see the bigger picture. Always assume the better scenario before jumping into conclusions. These are not carved into stone, just wanted to list out things to be suspicious about. A reputable artist can have fast turnover rate too, don't accuse them of being a scammer just because of it. Look up known bad sheep, check out their callout posts and compare. I can't stress it enough to ASK OTHERS around you for advice or to double check before stating anything. - You got your pretty shiny illust, now what? Check what perms you agreed to. Personal usage: - No uploading to any site that generates revenue. Examples: X, Twitch, Youtube, Kick, Fansly, etc. Ask if you're unsure. Merch production is for your own enjoyment, no reselling stuff like keychains or stickers later or the artist deserves a cut of the money. Commercial usage: - Uploading art to any site that generates revenue. Yes, now X headers and icons count as commercial usage. Merch production also falls into this category, if you want mass production you will have to get an estimate from the artist. Why is this important? Even if you're a small creator who earns nothing on X for example, you have the potential to blow up overnight and if you grow people will associate the icon you have with you, which was drawn by the artist you commissioned. Outside of vtuber spaces an artist usually gets a percentage cut from sales from a product that has their art on it, I think it's fair to think the same system should apply on here as well. - "This is all nonsense, AI can do all this for me in minutes for FREE!" - Sure buddy, no one's stopping you and I promise I personally won't get offended. If you'll be happy with weirdly rendered pictures of people with 8 fingers and 3 boobs may you find happiness with it, have a nice day 🙏 (I will secretly make you explode with my mind though) - "I only have an AI reference that I found on Pinterest, is it okay to give it to you for inspo?" - FOR SURE at the end I'll be the one bringing your idea to life and you didn't generate anything, all good! Artists should support customers who turn to them instead of AI. Some will be uncomfortable though, please respect their boundaries and look for someone else. - An artist isn't a friend. A lot of them prefer 2 click commission sites because people overstep the professional boundaries while working. If you want to befriend that that has to happen outside of work. If your work has been delivered please don't talk to them about unrelated things, people often abuse the work communication channels for flirting. We are professionals, never forget. If the artist themselves shows interest then go for it, otherwise just be friendly/neutral. Overall, if we get angry and spit fire at each other here on X that won't solve anything. Remember to be kind to each other and act as if you two are standing in front of each other in person. Internet anonymity doesn't give you a pass to haggle, to harass, to flirt with each other, same goes to artists as well. Never publicly accuse an artist of using AI/scamming on a hunch because you can destroy their livelihood in a minute. If you feel suspicious gather evidence, investigate and ask someone to confirm or deny your claims. Artists should always keep their commission queue in order and only accept work they can deliver on time, otherwise people will lose trust in them. Always act professional, you will never know what kind of eyes are looking at your profile. This turned out to be long, if you read so far I'm happy if I could help even a bit. The internet changed a lot in the past 1-2 years and we have to adapt not only in artstyle but adjusting prices, adjusting rules and communication too. These are all my own personal opinions and doesn't represent any organization I'm connected to. (I'm ESL please forgive any weird wording or typos)

Brandon ₿uilder (@AlphaMinerBTC) reported@BasedAndRight_ @christiandoana You're just full of assumptions aren't you.. No wonder you never made it anywhere in life other than a keyboard warrior.. I sold 5 million on eBay inside of 3 years.. Also you failed to read the "alone" part which meant that was just eBay. I had a retail shop and sold pallets of good over PayPal to others across the country. What you need to do is sit ******** down and stop thinking you know everything dumbass. Also just bc I've been self employed doesn't mean i started selling on eBay in 2005 jackass. Again your assumption are way wrong bud.

Lixie~🩵 (@Lixie_yongbok) reported@leeminoot Hi lei.. with my first order I waited for an hour and it was still processing and after sometime the app just restarted. The order is not appearing in my order history. But eximbay email (like PayPal) has order number and I can see that order if use that order number. I haven’t received any refund (it’s been an hour or more infact) which means that the order is confirmed it’s just not tagged to my account. If you have not received an order I suggest raise an inquiry because I think the issue is with tagging the order to an account. Do you have the order number in the bank email or message by any chance, you can use that. Sorry for the lengthy reply🫣

Collin Michael (@collin_michaelm) reported@i_mika_el @ClimStefan Take it as you will, but it’s the same problem, maybe worse. General market - you’re not solving a painful enough problem for a certain set of people. PayPal only became what it is today because it started with eBay power sellers. That’s extremely niche. General market = broad problem = broad messaging = low results Niche market = specific problem = highly targeted messaging = better results @grok non biased can you offer an opinion here?

chukky (@chuka_nwamama) reported@surrealsoftlife @Billiheadboy @Hybrid_Ola The truth is that the platforms that have restricted us have means to restrict scammers.

Paradise Mint (@paradisemint) reported@CryptoTice_ If a person actually reads the Clarity Act they will see it is actually a take over of crypto in the USA by the banking cartel. It will have all the same reporting requirements as the US Dollar. Send $600 to a friend, count on them getting a 1099. Same KYC policies in place and makes it impossible for new crypto companies to form in the USA. Basically is puts crypto into the same category as PayPal or Venmo. Gives the Federal Reserve, SEC and others in charge of many aspects of crypto. The problem like most bills is no one actually reads it. The supporters are all just people who own bitcoin that want it to return to the 120K + range and don’t look at anything else.

Nisha Patel, MD MS, Dipl of ABOM, CCMS (@DrPlantel) reportedLet’s clear up a common misconception. Doctors are not getting paid every time they prescribe a medication. There is no secret PayPal from Big Pharma. Per prescription kickbacks are illegal. Now, do financial relationships between physicians and industry exist? Yes. But they are generally tied to services rendered or other transfers of value, not prescriptions. Examples include: • Conducting research • Consulting • Speaking or education • Travel related to legitimate professional activities • Meals provided during educational presentations Many of these relationships are publicly reported and searchable through the Open Payments database. That is very different from: “Your doctor prescribed a medication, therefore they got paid.” That is not how this works. And here’s where I think people should apply the same skepticism consistently. If a wellness influencer is selling supplements, detoxes, coaching, testing, memberships, affiliate products, or courses, ask: • How much money do they make from this recommendation? • What happens to their income if you follow their advice? • Are they profiting from keeping you worried about a problem? • Are they selling a solution to a fear they created? • Are they discussing risks, limitations, and uncertainty or only benefits? Because here’s the interesting part: You can look up many physician industry payments in a public database. There is no public website where you can search how much a wellness influencer made from a supplement deal, affiliate link, brand partnership, detox program, or coaching package. Financial incentives deserve scrutiny. All of them. Not just the ones we already disagree with. Skepticism is healthy. Selective skepticism is not.

Roberto Blake 🇺🇸🇵🇦 Creative Entrepreneur (@robertoblake) reported@contractorkeith @danwestworld Appreciate it. But I also would encourage you to actually watch his content delivery because I looked into him and he actually has a solid background in sales from working for PayPal… The problem is actual scammers appropriated so many actual legitimate corporate best practices that it makes the optics of literal traditional sales and marketing look like a scam to anyone who hasn’t done the gig in corporate… Which is most people…

Jeff Swanson (@theswansjr) reported@kurtwuckertjr PayPal solved payments on the internet. So did Visa. Bitcoin was built on the internet because that's the best medium for it. Any newly invented payment system must work online. But Bitcoin's innovation wasn't simply enabling digital payments. Bitcoin replaces trust with cryptographic proof. The whitepaper solves a very specific problem: how to enable payments without relying on trusted third parties.

Keith Diamond (@KeithDiamond994) reported@Catholic_bro @EddieJamro84189 You are a deceitful liar who I will expose as such every day I can. You get NO MONEY because NONE of these WORDS ARE IN THE BIBLE. I issue the challenge anew. IF the things you believe are ANYTHING OTHER THAN MADE UP CRAP it should be EASY TO FIND THEM IN THE B-I-B-L-E,. right? So I will PayPal or CashApp or Venmo YOU 10K , ten thousand dollars, for every single mention you find of the following SEVEN words, ready? Bible commentaries and concordances are NOT inspired by God and I , who know so much more than YOU, can point out blatant lies in various bible commentaries like "The trinity" which obviously is not biblical! Find ( ROSARY, POPE, CARDINAL, SACRAMENT, MASS, EUCHARIST, CATHOLIC.) These words cover your entire fake religion. That's at minimum 70K you could have in MINUTES if your religion comes from the bible, that is. IF YOU ASKED ME to prove that MY baptism is BIBLICAL, I’d take you to ACTS 2:38 where Peter commanded us to be BAPTIZED IN JESUS’ NAME .. Acts 2:38King James Version 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. And tell you that on 12-27-92 between 2 and 4 pm I was BAPTIZED AS ORDERED in Jesus’ name. If you asked me to prove that I have the HOLY GHOST, I would take you to Acts 2:4 because.... Acts 2:4King James Version 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. ...this where the Apostles received the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues and tell you that after being baptized correctly in Jesus name I spoke in tongues 12-27-92 between 2 and 4 pm. EaZY PeaZY. If the things you believe are BIBLICAL that's 70K you could gain IF those things are even mentioned JUST ONCE. If they are mentioned multiple times, that's MORE MONEY FOR YOU. Good luck.
