Sometimes it makes me wonder, if some CEO have some brain cells left or none at all.
Renderosity i.e. it was a thriving marked place, with a thriving forum and gallery.
I have my little store there, nothing important to link to from here.
I made a new product and was going to load it up into my store.
A little vignette, a picture will follow
But then I saw that I have to take at least 9 dollar and I was "NOPE won't do that!"
9 dollar for something I thought to sell for 5 dollar or even less.
And I understood, why everything has become so freaking expensive at that store.
The price lines and rules are insane.
Allegedly, because some of the top vendors complained about people, selling for little money.
Well, I would say, they shoot themselves in the feet.
Yesterday I scrolled thropugh the stores, 50 pages and I stopped, cause I found NOTHING!
Nothing but crap, skimpy wear, children lookalike Lolitas (when became that a normal thing at renderosity?) and nothing useful at all.
And the amout of AI generated crap, do people really think, I would buy this crap?
I mean PAY for AI? Seriously?
Only one vendor stood out, his stuff is amazing, but even on sale, sorry, but I just can't afford things that cost almost 30 dollar ON SALE!
So Renderosity is going down faster and faster.
A gallery that don't even deserve the title gallery.
A forum, where you can't find a thing, cause all gets deleted (or pushed into archive) faster than one can count to 3. That's a killer and man, this forum was busy long time ago.
A marked place with garbage, AI-shit and totally overprized.
I will edit this post later or make an extra post about the opposite of this insanity we can find at daz3d. Insane as well, but the opposite to renderosity about prices.
--------------------
I decided to edit instead making a new post
I don't wanna start with, what I think about the company itself, neither back the days without greedy Tafi nor now with Tafi.
Incompetent and stupid many years ago, and now I don't know, since I deny to use the forum with this snarky Richard, deleting all and everything that goes even in the slightest against daz3d.
You can praise daz over the moon, but never ever even try to talk about the not so good things.
Your post will be deleted and in the worst case, you will get blocked.
daz3d was always an expensive marked and rumors had it, that only the best of the best vendors had a chance there.
The truth is far away from that, one only need to be willing to sell his soul to daz.
Dumping prices, low as 99 cent for products, daz bought all rights for and the vendor is fooled for the rest of his time.
Still people going there, leaving rosity in hope to earn more money.
And I've seen many going back to rosity. Of course, selling stuff for almost nothing won't pay the rent.
Ok, enough with all this negative and stupid stuff.
And there is a third store, the worst of all.
I won't name it, I won't write too much about it, cause I'm done with it.
What that CEO made was extreme and it was extreme stupid.
Well, on the long run nothing will happen.
People were yelling, angry and very pissed about deleting a whole section without any given notice before.
But as usual, they threatened to leave and maybe a hand full did, the rest found an excuse right away. They wanna stay because of the community.
A community, eager for bad gossip and happy being fooled over and over and over again.
Well, I'm feeling sorry for most of them.
Not being able to be for themselves, depending on this so called "social" media, cause the forgot, that there is a rea life out there.
