Artist Says Poll Backers Failed to Buy Glow-in-the-Dark Work
Original: RE: https:// flipping.rocks/@sunguramy/1172 43859346908138 Hey ya'all, when I did a poll over 10 people said they'd buy
An artist selling glow-in-the-dark creations says that despite more than ten people in a poll promising they would buy one, only a single sale has come through. In a follow-up message, the creator asks those who pledged support to follow through, thanking them and signing off as someone with 'too many amazing glow in the dark' pieces. The post highlights the common gap between online pledges of support and actual purchases for independent creators.
Why now: People are discussing the relatable gap between promising to support independent creators online and actually buying their work.
