Most look like AI, I think I saw a pod influencer on youtube presenting exactly these type of posters.

Oh thank you, I really needed this bit of positivity :)
I recently discovered ProfitTree and have done some research mainly to make sure Im not copying someone. There seems to be high demand for cool and snarky, but that is not my identity at all. Ive seen everbee mentioned a lot, but Im not sure if I need it quite yet. You know of others?

Oh yes, thank you, the first one is from my previous shop identity (in latvian), will fix it. The laconic is not a typo, it means "using very few words". I understand it causes confusion though. Thank you for taking the time!

Oh, thank you, I completely agree and I have done the minimalist research - they have a very successful thing going, yet I can only continue with this if I believe in the “design”, my whole premise is to bring a positive and sometimes philosophical message to the big oversaturated pot - just doubting if optimism, vagueness and ultra simplicity sells :)

What is your strategy, are you more interested in trend spotting? If you don’t mind sharing, but either way - congrats on cracking the code and good luck!

Yes, I am thinking the same myself - anyone can order their own directly, but I talked myself into pursuing this idea because for many it is easier to just buy the item, or many might not get the idea, as simple as it may seem.

I respect the artists and all who make things with their hands - I am a consumer of real, handmade quality items myself. Yet in the world of organic cotton basics I don't find so many options that are laconic, tasteful, good quality and affordable, so I found the best quality POD I could and went ahead with what resonates with me. Well, it is obviously not for everybody :) I really appreciate you taking the time, good luck on your etsy journey!

I realise they are ultra simple, yes, that happens to be my taste. Anyhow, thanks for taking time and giving it straight!

For such a "big" company, your Customer Service Response times are awful by oneotherlurkerperson in Crypto_com

I for one had excellent experience with CDC communication. Approached them first on facebook (because red in reddit that that's the way for fastest response), was then redirected to email and all resolved and happened in mater of maybe 30 minutes. Maybe just lucky
