Q00

roman95.bsky.social•70 days ago

(1\3) I am certainly not from Russia, but I want to make an amendment. Boosty is one of the few ways for Russian artists to earn money from foreign clients (maybe the only one). If you suddenly stop supporting them, then literally nothing will change.

roman95.bsky.social•70 days ago

(2\3) Russia still gets billions by trading resources and fuel with other countries, including Europe. So taxes from Boosty artists are a drop in the ocean. You will simply deprive artists like you of income, and globally this will not change anything.

roman95.bsky.social•70 days ago

(3\3) It is better to support artists in this difficult time. Most of them do not support the war, they just do not say it because they know that then people in uniform will come for them.

You greatly underestimate this resource, which monetizes all spheres for Russians.
And not only artists.
The sums are if not hundreds, then tens of millions of dollars every month.
And these are only dollars, not rubles.

The more we cut off the Russians' financial oxygen, the sooner this terrorist country will cease to exist and terrorize other countries.

Every penny is important.

Oh shit, I didn't know any of this. I was trying to help the Russian artists who are struggling cause it's not their fault Russia went to war, but I will stop doing that now. 😮‍💨 There are many, *many* reasons that Russia needs to leave Ukraine alone. I will continue doing what I can to help Ukraine

i think ukrainian artists will really appreciate your help instead 🫶 there are so many skilled and talented people in #украрт community, and so many of them spend every day of their lives in danger nowadays

randompasserbyer.bsky.social•81 days ago

I appreciate the recommendation, but I haven't had the money to spend on commissions in several months 😔 It wasn't so much as I was looking for Russian artists to commission, but rather the artists I already followed happened to be Russian lol. I'll probably commission op here when I get money again

1. This is a thread about Boosty – a service which is still capable of transferring money from other countries to Russian people. As all of us know, if we stop any money flow going to the Russia, this will affect their ability of purchasing missiles, armor and other things, that

2. later will be used against people of Ukraine.

Many of working bank systems rejected any way of paying to Russians, as a way of blocking any funds going to weapons or any ammunition. Yet, still a lot of Russians can get money from other countries through Boosty. Such transfer

3. is illegal, as it avoids taxes and any established law both in Russia and other countries in world.
There are a lot of clients, which pay artists from Russia. They may not be acquainted with Boosty, yet they still sponsor army through even smallest of commissions. And little

nuno-thekitten.bsky.social•84 days ago

4.did they know, that there’s legal side to this problem – those accounts, which send money to Russia, get investigated and considered as illegal. Many will be blocked surely after. So there seems to be no profit to the client as well.

Boosty should not be ignored. It

5.helps Russians sponsor the war, which already had taken lives of thousands of people. Our goal is to warn people about consequences – both political and legal – bound to using Boosty.
