Markiplier not partnering with Honey because he didn't understand how its business model was profitable with how much it spent on advertising demonstrates a level of thoughtfulness that seems absent in a lot of youtubers.

people who for very silly reasons want to market prepared food products without preservatives in them who then discover why we started putting preservatives in prepared food products in the first place (because without a preservation method food quickly grows stale, and frequently also moldy or downright toxic) is a consistently good bit. like people really seem to think we put Evil Chemicals in food on purpose for no reason.

Sorry for double posting but APPARENTLY those commission scammers have showed up on Tumblr at least for the first time for me.
For those who don’t know what I am talking about, there were/are commission scams going on in Instagram and even places like Artstation where people would pretend to be interested in your work and try to commission a pet or portrait for the sake of trying to get your bank details. Here’s how to (somewhat) sniff them out:
1- They don’t seem to be an average customer/ person that would be involved in your fandom, or has a blank template for an account or don’t even follow you.
2- They ask you to draw a portrait or a pet picture either for themselves or their children/family.
3- They promise to overpay you (in the hundreds) and do not listen to you even if you firmly state the price is cheaper.
4- They are constantly asking for your email name, or private details regarding things like banking details or passwords or other private information others should not know.
5- They try and over reassure you they mean no harm, try to guilt you into giving them the info, or become aggressive over you not giving them what they want.
What should you do if you come across one of these guys? My best advice is to block and report. Sadly these people jump account to account so there isn’t really much to do other than spread this info to prevent artists from being scammed.

weepingtrashheart (previously scentedtacomaker, bluecloudllama, sostudentbarbarian, fulldelusioncupcake, craftyangelcollective, jovialnightcat, and myavenuesheep) / eUnice'margwel' is a documented scammer.
here is their post archived november 16th as myavenuesheep: https://archive.is/v0vdE
here is fulldelusioncupcake on november 19th: https://archive.is/va4o8
here is craftyangelcollective on december 14th: https://archive.is/m1BVx
coincidentally, the eUnice'margwel’ paypal account was linked in this post to run an entirely different scam: https://www.tumblr.com/kyra45/763314716539060224/vettedverified-as-a-scam-please-report-their

https://www.tumblr.com/u-reblogged-a-scam/769874949281349632/do-not-donate-your-money-to-or-reblog-any-posts
some past tumblr accounts that have run this scam were nuttykittenglitter with the paypal name Virginia Adungo, eunice-2-magwerl with the paypal account name Magwerl Onyango, alfayothesoftwareaudit with the paypal name Alfred Onyango, pinkkidcreator with the paypal name Eunice Odira, shadypersonnut with the paypal name Eunice Eqira, and perfectpiratewonderland with the paypal name Jamillah Vilinga
would you mind deleting their scam from your blog, or clearly labeling it as a scam so it doesn't spread to others? please remember you can use the tumblr search box to search the username/paypal account name/text used by people asking for money to check if they’ve been proven to be a scammer
gfdi thank you.

It's 4am and I can't get this out of my head
#my post#my art#gravity falls#this could absolutely be fiddlestan. god it would be so funny#either way he's just lost his brother and is working the biggest scam of his life#and also taking a false name#as of this moment in time any other mention of Ford's name is going to send him into a fit of hysterics#stanley pines

a small child came into the café today and asked to buy a chocolate truffle. he tapped a credit card on the reader and it did not go through, mainly because it was not a credit card but in fact a junior cinema pass. i gently explained he couldn't use that to buy things in shops and he looked so gutted that i was like "...but just this once you can have it for free, don't tell my boss though" he said thank you and walked out with his truffle and as he went i heard him chuckling to himself and saying "yes..... yes!!!!!" like the sickos comic
#slightly dotty child or world's most precocious scam artist? you decide.#i asked where his parents were and apparently they were queuing for a table at the restaurant across the street#he even pointed them out to me#so don't worry this was not an unsupervised bébé#be shh now#containment breach

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes
just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks
there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.
edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.
#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite

Heads up everyone, there's a new scam in town!
(Or perhaps an old one and I am late to the party)
Reasons it is a scam:
1) long, but doesn't reference the fic or characters at all
2) wants money - and will only communicate through dms, they don't have a public profile with proof of their work
And finally!
3) I googled this copy paste text and... suprise! It is a copy paste text. Loads of other people have the same ask
Stay safe and don't fall for this all!

A post compiling assorted names from scammers running medical,vet bills,and insulin scams, and more.
