TIL a major art platform quietly changed its terms to claim a 30% cut of all secondary market sales

Found it buried in a legal update email last night. Has anyone else seen this and figured out a way around it?

Ugh, that's so frustrating. I saw that email too and just felt my heart sink. It's exactly what @andrew646 said, they just slip it in hoping we're all too busy to notice. First it was a cut of the initial sale, now they want a piece every time it resells forever? What's next, a fee if someone just looks at your art for too long? It makes you not even want to use the platform anymore.

This is just how things work now. Companies keep sliding new fees into the fine print, betting most people won't read it. It feels like every service is trying to grab a piece of every single transaction. Makes you wonder what they'll try to take a cut of next.
