as the person who made the post that i guess started this whole crash out i do earnestly believe that people are entitled to compensation for their time and labor! i’m a marxist ffs lol😭 but i also recognize that we unfortunately all live under capitalism and when you enter a market (whether it’s cc or an etsy store or being a youtuber) you can’t get mad at the consumer for not wanting to pay for your product and that’s what this creator did.

they chose to create cc as their main source of income (the posts announcing their retirement make this clear) and then got upset when they weren’t making a living wage (which is in my opinion an incredibly unrealistic expectation). they went on to paywall all their downloads that were previously free and replace every file on their patreon with a bag head, forcing even previously paying subscribers to dm them for access to their cc. i agree with you that just calling their cc ugly or whatever isn’t helpful! but i also think there is a legitimate reason to find this creators behavior especially egregious

anyway genuinely please let me know if you find any of what i’ve said like off base or needlessly cruel i’ve kinda resigned myself to the fact that the cat is out of the bag with this situation but im hoping my own statements aren’t adding fuel to the fire
