Hey fuck redbubble

Understanding how the new account fee may apply to you

Redbubble Blog

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.
