Unskippable ad Update: Commission a small artist. After I pay her and tip 50% she tells me that to remove the giant COMMISSION DO NOT USE it’s another 75%
Update to something I posted in mildly infuriating yesterday— yeah. The last slide was “the best she could do”, insisted that “COMMISSION DO NOT USE” was her “watermark” and removing it would count as commercial use. I sent her a long comment, got blocked, and did a chargeback.
As you can see in some of the photos, her portfolio on her page had barely visible watermarks, and I, like a normal person, thought those were just for public use to prevent art theft. Nope.
I don’t even mind her having a watermark!! But any reasonable consumer would assume that a watermark meant like a signature or a @, not a giant announcement that you can’t use this.
Really sucks bc I wanted to support the community 😔
