Am*z*n has really altered our overall perceptions of shipping costs and speed. Small businesses and artists aren’t out to overcharge customers for shipping; what’s being charged is what it actually costs, on average, to ship an order, along with any packaging expenses.
Whelp.. if your favorite artists have to get Twitter Blue, please don’t give them a hard time. Many of us rely on our followers being able to actually see our posts and I know many of us would not be able to keep doing what we do if our reach keeps getting suppressed even more.
From what I've noticed there's a pretty large misconception that artists are rolling in cash when they are charging more than minimum wage for their commissions. We are paying self employment taxes PLUS income tax in the US, which means about 30% of income goes to taxes alone.
