...and they are apparently not doing much to fix it. this has been going on since at least May. inprnt has been telling individual artists who go to them for help that there is a known problem with payouts that needs to be fixed manually. they have not publicly acknowledged it or notified their userbase. some people seem to get a fix from support pretty quickly, others are just ignored or left to languish. so the result here is: a lot of artists are not getting paid and think they are alone in this.

here is a thread of receipts(tm) going around today, which are unfortunately also on the Bad Bird Website. lots of quote tweets and replies telling the same story, and if you search around, there's been a growing number of complaints over the last few months.

so, if you have prints on there, it's probably time to start asking some pointed questions and making some serious demands. they've been letting this fester for months and they clearly need a push. if you're thinking of joining... maybe look at other options or wait and see how this plays out.

(disclaimer: i am not on inprnt so this does not personally affect me; i'm just pissed off on behalf of my peers and i think artists and customers should know this is going on)

It's unfortunate hearing about this. I'm not on there myself, but knowing how other artists are affected by this... yeesh... ๐Ÿ˜ฐ

What makes this worse is that this isn't the first time I've heard about an art store withholding payments to artists, and I have a feeling it may not be the last time I hear something like this either ๐Ÿ˜ž
