@Veibae its a complete red flag is there needs to be an NDA for leaving

and so our NDAs are now void why i left VSHOJO - back in 2023, vshojo tried to bully me into one of the most predatory contracts that i have ever seen. when i tried to ask more about it, their COO got extremely hostile with me and refused to answer any of my questions and so i had to hire a lawyer in order to get some clarification. during the talks, it became clear that vshojo would rather let me go than to take less away from me. they were ultimately wanting me to give up more than half of all my sponsor revenue and over 60% of all merch sales. all i asked from them in return, is to not take a cut of the sponsors that i was getting through Mythic, as that cut was already being taken. they said no, they want it all. and so i asked to leave after being treated like i was disposable in our talks. they basically made it seem like they were my employer, and that they're the reason for my success. that i owe them and that i should be happy to give them my money. in order for me to leave, they demanded i sign an nda that prevented me from speaking to any of the other talent about it. i could not say why i was leaving, i could not say what the terms that i was saying no to were. i even got in trouble for advising them to hire their own attorneys. they would watch my streams, read my discord, and then threaten to sue me. if i said anything that hinted towards how i really felt about the company, i was threatened with a lawsuit. another one of their leave terms was that they will announce both me and silver on the same day in order to minimize the damage to their company. their COO has begun to push a narrative on 4chan (yes im serious lmfao) and other social media that i am leaving because i plan to join OTK and that both me and silvervale are troublemakers, so they were "letting" us go. later i found out that nyanners wanted to leave around the same time due to also being unhappy with the contract, but was told that she couldn't because it did not fit their narrative that they were pushing internally AND externally. the amount of hate we've gotten over leaving, from fans calling us greedy bitches to people saying we're abandoning our friends and tossing aside the company because we're successful enough, shit was fucking painful. not being able to say anything sucked. i only found out i didn't get paid for any of my sponsors after i had already signed the NDA. after 2 years, i have still not been paid back fully. to add insult to injury, they also demanded i had to pay them back 10k for some of the anniversary assets which when they sent me back months later, were half finished. despite all of that, i've had immense faith that the company has gotten better over the past 2 years. i assumed they rewrote their contracts after losing 3 people due to them and seeing all the new talent join. clearly this was not the case. now for some fun facts !! - their company lawyer has an expired law license. he literally does not practice law anymore, yet he was our point of contact for any legal help we needed. - they actively pitted us against one another during my time there, and compared our success to others. they tried enforcing streaming schedules so that our viewcount would look better due to less overlap. - they would ALWAYS shit talk other vtuber agencies. they literally would spend company money to get a tiny dig at them. especially hololive, it literally lived rentfree in gunruns head. they were convinced hololive was over when they signed kson and nazuna. - our previous talent manager got ghosted for 6 months by gunrun, told not to do any work for us and then got fired for "not doing anything". during this fiasco, we weren't able to get any assistance. - MTD got reprimanded for being creepy to us. lol. got told not to message us privately. go figure. - i have proof from other streamers attending their IRL parties that MTD would actively shit talk me after i left the company, to paint me in the worst light imaginabe. dunno why ur acting innocent on twitter pretending u werent aware of anything, can't wait to see all the shit that comes out about you because there's LOADS but those aren't my stories to tell. thanks for reading and thanks to those who stuck around between then and now. thank you for giving me, silver and nyan the benefit of the doubt when we needed it most. 💙

Just my 2 cents, not speaking about anyone in particular, just that the situation is more common than it should be. For talents on the fence, just be cautious about the contract, do your due diligence, get a personal lawyer.

About predatory contracts, i leave that to legal mindset to talk about, all we can say is, dont agree to clauses that you are uncomfortable with. Always take time to read and digest what you are reading, especially anything along the lines of penalty clause.

All of which the talent can cover provided they find the right hire, having a lawyer is always the first thing they can do. Illustrators can be found, Merchandise can be ordered easily. Email correspondence and negotiation is easy under the disguise of a 'manager'.

The whole point of agencies can be summarised like this - offload work load other than content creation - provide network and opportunities that talent dont already have - provide other service like merchandise creation - be the legal barrier in case of dox and keep talent SAFE.

Scenario is more common then you would expect. Over promising, predatory contracts, threats, Slandering ex-talents, other manipulative tactics, etc. If a talent grows to the point of needing an agency they can actually do without one, instead hire their own staff.

@pathofexile all i see is, Ai sees enemy, execute attack, repeat no reaction to enemy attacks, no dodge, no block, no skill cancel to feint, very monotone and boring, no skill. end game is just who can spam the most skill per second.

Path of Exile 2 introduced some amazing bosses into the world of Wraeclast and we wondered… Who would win in a clash between them? Today we’ve pitted the Mighty Silverfist against the savage Rathbreaker! Let us know who'd you like to see duke it out next!

@MondriaanX @BambulabGlobal maybe subscription model for their slicing software in the future, so you have to pay to use the hardware you already paid for. like sure we own the hardware but the software will be locked so its a white elephant :P

@BambulabGlobal what security???? for printing bunnies and RC accessories? WTF are yall talking about?? There is something EVIL behind this, please STOP!

We’ve released a new blog post regarding a new update for X-Series printers, bringing enhanced security to keep your prints safe. To be clear, this update isn’t about limiting third-party software. In fact, we’ve worked closely with print farm software providers in the past and will continue to support these partnerships. @fever_soft is already in contact with us, and we’re just a few days away from pushing the code to enable integration with Bambu Connect. Your security is our top priority, and we’re here to make this transition as smooth as possible. We’ve also added an FAQ answering most of the community’s questions. Details + FAQ 👉blog.bambulab.com/firmware-updat…

@pyrodex @BambulabGlobal Did they forget that we are product designers, engineers and software developers as well rofl

I’m going to make my first large scale purchase in the coming weeks (or months, depending on when the “new” flag ship one drops) but right now I’ve decided to stand down. This is step in the wrong direction and you are making a bad decision. Ultimately it will come down to pay to play with Bambu and even restricting filaments later on. Look how this worked out for other brands in the guise of “security”.

@BambulabGlobal How to destroy years of trust building in 1 decision

@on_perspectives @joe_mckendry @BambulabGlobal ahh good ol PSP homebrew days

@joe_mckendry @BambulabGlobal They don't get we will always find a workaround and they will lose.

@kyl0renhater doesn't give you a justified reason to attack others, it doesn't help your believes regarding the palestine / gaza either. you are generating more hate for them, while using them as an excuse to attack others. you should be more mindful of what you are doing.

@DigitalAnvilPro i am jealous of her following & the community she built & if i had anything close to her level of influence i would be more mindful ab the content i put out to the world

honestly yall influencers r soo fucking bland & stupid & what's the point of having such a massive following if u never have & never will stand for ANYTHING?

@kyl0renhater just admit that you are jealous of her following and the community that she built

while u are kabedoning ugly bastards for clout there are children in gaza violently dying. it shld be that simple. it is so easy not to openly endorse mcdonald's

@itsBlysK @kyl0renhater Agreed, I honestly don't see a point in this kind of call outs @kyl0renhater everyone can have their own believes and that is fine. Don't make it another person's problem. vote with your own wallet, don't drag other people into this.

@kyl0renhater Tbh smth I don't get is why the mass boycott on Mcd? McDonald's operates as a franchise. Yes Mcd-Israel gave food to their soldiers. But Mcd Msia, Indo, KSA,UAE, Qatar,Oman,Egypt all gave totalling multi-millions in aid to Palestine. So?? Thoughts?

i said too many bad keywords tiktok blocked me so i put here instead ok

@kyl0renhater How about, you grow your own influence and financial capital to effectively boycott these global companies if you have such a strong conviction. Rather than using this as an excuse to call out / drag other influencers or individuals in the mud over a meal.

@Tesla_Optimus That's me walking uphill to work

Daily walks help clear your mind

@Ace_Mongus They should have gotten a better camera or reviewed the footage properly. Judge probably didn't see the bit fly off at high speed into the extreme pocket out of judge's sight

The misjudge in Extreme Cup is insane! How did they judge this as Aeropegasus burst first???? Feel so bad for the Thai Player bro look like he about to cry #BEYBLADEX #ベイブレードX

@Gravantus It's rude to impose, businesses like this should close down.

Help, what do I do?
