The frame option just being a png slapped on the edges of the design is criminal
it sounds so horrific you expect a game publisher to create it
Rippoff
They misled us into thinkjgnit was an actual frame
@@Sockren it is advertised to gamers who eat up what ever slop the new football game is
lol, bought displates a while ago and I am generally satisfied with what I got (yes, 2 out of 5 have fallen down before), but I remember during checkout seeing the frame option and thinking to myself "what kind of dipstick would pay for that? Why is that even an option?"
Displates' only sin to me is that its a bit overpriced. But its not like I'm buying a poster every week, or even every year. I wanted a poster and displate sold me a poster
i love how every sponsor's products are either:
a. a scam
b. stupidly overpriced
c. really bland despite the advertising saying otherwise
Honestly if they weren't any of these they would already be popular, and not a youtube sponsorship, so it goes with the teritory.
As Micheal says in gta 5: “it’s called capitalism”
@@DogginsFroggins Hey, just because something is stupidly overpriced doesn't mean it can't be popular. Consider War Thunder.
those are becuase those are the three groups who focus the most on advertising
I genuinely liked the taste of gamersupps "Emotional Damage" flavor but it still fell under category B at the end of the day and the shipping prices on top of the already $40 price tag was abysmal.
The amount of blatant ai generated art pieces on their website is atrocious
whomp whomp
@@olivercharles2930 Mmmmm common culture being reduced to lowest common denominator slop (more so than it already actually is)? so delicious.
The amount of stolen art too, it’s weird finding my own art on there, especially since they never reached out about getting permission. Even some of my dads art is on there, and not even his public stuff, it’s stuff like commissions that were not for public use
@@FiftyCharactersThat is inexcusable. They need to moderate this shit better.
I actually like AI art, but straight up stealing art ain't my forte.
@@olivercharles2930 It might seem crazy what I'm bouta say...
Pro poster-hanging tip: Sticky tack/mounting putty/blue tac. It goes by many names, but it's a slightly tacky putty that sticks to almost any surface and comes off clean. Warm it up between your fingers, put a dot a couple cm from each corner of your poster (the distance helps when removing it later), and press firmly into the wall. Boom, perfectly hung poster with no ugly tape, pinholes, or expensive frame. When it's time to come down just tug with gentle but consistent pressure at the corner and the putty will separate from itself, then you can dab up the extra from the poster and wall with a bit more putty. At worst I've seen it leave a bit of an oily spot on the back of certain papers. Plus it never dries out, so one cheap pack can last you many years. I also use it to plant things in place on my desk that I don't want to be easily moved.
Blue tac is one of those wonder inventions that just isn't celebrated enough. You can stick anything to walls and even ceilings, it never dries out, weakens or expires in any way and you get a fucking monumental amount in each packet (yet I always end up with just a small wad of it to share between all of the things I'm hanging up.)
if you slap a layer or two of painters tape into the corners where you plan on slapping the tack on the poster,the oily spots won't get through to the poster, but it might reduce the hang-time... painters tape isn't as good for sticking, but I guess you could go crazy and tape some other material to the back of the poster, and put the blu tack against that, if you really wanna avoid the oily spots :D
Thank you king :D I have been enlightened
wh... what would you use other than blu tac?? what are you people doing????
@@mdpl-05this is exactly what I was thinking. Is this a joke or a cultural/geographical thing? Here this is the absolute default way to do posters.
My favorite thing about Displate is how they pretend that the mining operations that produce their metal posters is somehow more environmentally friendly than the tree farming that produces regular paper posters.
There is a name for this practice: greenwashing. Kind of like how electric cars produce less emissions but the practices for lithium mining are incredibly harmful to the environment the mining is taking place in (usually in the global south, usually close to a community that is being exploited by these corporations for cheap, if not slave, labor).
at least it's not plastic...
edit: to clarify im specifically referencing how many corporations talk about using "recyclable material" while moving AWAY from aluminum and glass and moving TOWARDS plastic. it's obvious a cost saving measure, palstic is cheaper, but plastic is hardly as recyclable as aluminum or glass
Yup. My personal pet peeve is when they say that by buying Displate you're "helping the environment". Like, no, even if they WERE more environmentally friendly, buying one still wouldn't HELP the environment, just put a smaller strain on it, which is not the same thing. The language just annoys me sm personally
It's a classic form of deflection that companies do where they make the consumer feel responsible when the top 100 companies account for 73% of global emissions.
They make it seem like individuals are at fault when it's the corporations that put profits over anything else
"helping the environment". aren't Displates heavier than classic posters/prints? and if something's heavier, it takes more fuel to ship? which is more damaging to the environment?? *maybe* if they used 100% recycled metal i'd be able to get it but... i kinda doubt they're doing that lol

I got two displates two or three years ago ( I think I paid like 30€ on the small and 45€ on the bigger one, with 10-20% discount). I am very happy with them. Also had no problems with the magnets (I need to say I didn’t swapped the posters so there wasn’t much stress on them). BUT BRO this increase in price is wild! I thought about buying some new ones for my other room but this really feels like a scam. Sad, because I really like the concept and was very happy with the quality.
Yes these were reasonably priced a few years ago, now with the constant sale prices they are still expensive. I have gotten sublimated prints from other companies for various art projects of my own for around 60% of the price of Displate, but these other companies have a 2-3 week lead time and the art is your responsibility to supply, so there's that.
@@cfedukecan you tell me about these other companies? I recently made a piece I‘d like to print, time wouldn’t be a problem so a few weeks of waiting would be completely worth it.

my mom is a nurse practitioner for mental health and I am an aspiring psychologist, and we have convos abt it all the time, because in theory it's an amazing idea for cheap access to mental health resources , but in reality it just sucks.
For real. I love how they got exposed back during covid and people just... forgot how awful they are.
If i see anyone actually take their sponsorship now it immediately turns me off them.
Aren't they the ones who use therapy to get more information for other companies to advertise to you?

That "constant sale" thing is straight up illegal in many places, including places they operate. Hope someone brings them to the advertising standards organisation.
It would only be illegal, if they release it at e.g. $60 with a 25% off sale and then never offer it without the sale untile they stop selling it. So to get around that, they only need to space the sales out a little, so that there are a few days where everything is at the "regular" price.
@@dyXurChannel The problem is that besides their offer, they constantly have promo codes from the creators they sponsor. I'm willing to bet someone could prove that their discounts never actually end.
@@misterwhyte Yeah, but promo codes from creators is something different than a sale. It's a coupon.
@@misterwhyte Not actually illegal to offer infinite promotional coupons pretty much anywhere. Otherwise you could be slapped with a fine for forgetting to print an expiry date on coupons.
@@Bobo-ox7fj I'm not a lawyer, I'm just pointing out that there's an argument to be made that Displate does have never ending discounts. Whether that's legal or not, I don't know.
This is the kind of content I'd been looking for. We all sort of guessed that RUclips sponsors were scams/rubbish but it's nice to see someone actively pointing it out and why.
The posters of Displaye aren't... bad. But they are way overpriced
I have a Displate in my bedroom, and I have been jumpscared twice when it falls off my wall at 4 AM. I don't think I'll bother to put it back up again.
LOL thanks for the experience i may pass these posters for sure
My issue with Displate is that I've seen multiple artworks from artists I follow get uploaded there without the artist even knowing. Basically someone else is profiting off their artwork and it's really messed up that there's no moderation on the website.
That happens all the time on these types of sites. I once saw a person selling my old shitty anime fanart I made more than 10 years ago, it was such a bizarre experience.
Ah, the classic Red Bubble move, an absolute traditional
Not absolving them of potentially/bad moderation, but this is a problem with anything that has broad user-generated content hosting, like making poster designs. Unfortunately something that comes with the territory and requires constant action to prevent from legitimate artists, platforms being responsive to reports, etc.
This sh¡t is why some people put big watermarks on artworks 😭
My friend made a fan render of Chell from Portal that got so popular it's the second image result on Google, and someone took it without his permission and put it on there and has made god knows how much money from it

@@Arum638 Yes, exactly!
@@Arum638 I was watching a youtube video with my 57 year old mom with that ad and hearing that line made her go "ugh level up your gaming space? come on!" in such a disgusted tone. If even my mom thinks you're cringe you've got issues.
Here's a tactic I used to get my friend (now roommate) a unique displate for his birthday, If you make an artist account you can just upload the piece like normal and then buy it. You don't have to go through the membership shit, I didn't even know that was an option at the time lol.
Wait, there’s ZERO barrier for entry for user generated content!?!? Like, no approval process or quality control whatsoever?
Thanks for that. I have some stuff I think I'll get that way, mostly old movie posters.
When I was on the site recently I had the same idea but only buyer profiles are available right now unless you email them with your artist portfolio, so they must be catching on to the quality issue that they have.
@@ohhadivist Huh, must not effect existing artist accounts. Ive had it for a few years now so.
@@donovanjoseph737 They do have a checking period, but I'm an existing artist on the site so having uploaded an art piece before, it likely slipped through. I should also note that the gift was a legitimate art piece as well, it just had the signatures of our other friends also on it.
Sobbing at 2:28 the way he hurls the poster at the magnet is SENDING me 🖐️😭
1:37 Nah, my RUclips just crashed when you showed the poster💀
The Gay was so unexpected that it managed to break your device's will... interesting.
I actually own two of the display posters, both DnD art, and they are gorgeous. Pretty pricey and the site is just over crowded with pure garbage if you're just browsing, but if you go into Displate knowing exactly what kind of posters you want, you can for sure find high-quality pieces worthy to put on your wall. B-tier site for me.
I agree I probably have about 15-18 of them in my room. The quality imo is always good but so true that you gotta sift through the piles of shit to find the gems
I got one for my dad's birthday and it was great, but my God it took a while to find a decent one
I got one as a secret santa gift from a classmate once. It's a Jack Skellington doing the classic screaming person art pose. I love it, have it hung up on my wall to this day.
Same. I've bought 7 of them, 4 for myself and the rest for family and they were all high quality. You definitely have to do your due diligence to find good quality, but the ones I received were decent. I'd also agree that its a B-tier site.
I got two for my brother for Xmas after talking to an IRL friend about theirs. Got em on like 50% off sale, so they weren't over priced imo. But without that discount? Yeah I probably wouldn't pay it. The quality was pretty good, though, and he was pretty satisfied with them. Though I went in looking for particular ones, which is why I didnt have to sift through a lot of garbage. I was looking for particular movie poster ones and found them easily: Army of Darkness and Robocop, two of his favorite movies.
Oh man, that "wood frame" is genuinely embarrassing.
Paying extra to crop your image is criminal.
I really appreciate this series. We need more people like you. When I get a little better situated financially I will definitely be supporting you on patreon.
Thanks man, It will go towards a new Camera.
Gotta love this guy throwing away sponsor opportunities to keep us from spending money. Thanks
I wonder if you just submit an image to Displate and they carry it as an option indefinitely. Looking at your montage I can't help but think a company that wanted to keep down clutter would delete a lot of these after 3months+ of nobody even clicking on a certain picture option on their site.
I'm sure if you upload a photo they consider it theirs to sell as their own forever. If you care about your own intellectual property, definitely don't upload it here.
@@null6634man I’d hate to be the person who might’ve tried posting wedding pictures so they could have them on there omg 😥😰
Imagine uploading a picture of your child to only see a criminal investigation a few years later and in the corner of the view of the camera in a few shots of the murderer's house you see it
well the problem is that as soon as it is sexual content people will buy it no matter whatever, they making bank with these lets be honest, those weebs have money
I'd imagine the only way they take down a piece is if they are contacted by the original rights' holders. Of course there could be some kind of automatic timeout for the truly garbage uploads.
The amount of stolen art on there alone is enough to make me refuse to buy anything from displate. I would much rather buy from an artist I like and be sure they actually get paid for their work
You can buy from real artists there, the problem is just finding the real artists from the fake/stolen ones. Granted that's the internet nowadays.
@@thisislame2207 Yeah, but I don't really want to support the site in general when they encourage and support theft in this way
U cant change the world 😢
@@devilvocano420 No, but I can choose where to spend my money
@@devilvocano420 But we can make it a bit less shit by not participating in the great chain of digital art theft.
I honestly agree with you. If they lower there price down, and clean up there site of the junk and, allow you to make your own poster for a small extra fee... It can definitely be a good alternative.
I bought 3 displaces when I moved into my new room - I knew specifically what I wanted (Disco Elysium art - character portraits and the 'conquest of revachol' scene). Got the portraits in medium portrait and the city scene in large landscape... and... well... they look awesome. Gotto give them credit for the colours, the print quality and the fact these are clearly gonna last a really long time. But yea, they are expensive AF. I was surprised at how simple they were, there's no fancy design to take advantage of the fact they are metal. I feel like another company could easily produce the same quality of metal poster at half the price. It feels like they got an advantage on being something of a monopoly, but with a bit of competition in the space and some cooler innovation, I can see metal posters as a concept being a really good idea - but without any competitors to drive innovation or pricing, Displate are never going to be pushed to do better on either front. Can't fault the quality of the product, though. They actually exceeded my expectation on print quality and the magnets system worked flawlessly for me. I even stuck one magnet and moved it with the protective pad and it's held up just fine.
This site give big redbubble vibes with the stolen work/ai images flooding the site
Are you REALLY sure you bought that catgirl poster because your fanbase told you to?
Bro as long as you keep up this series you got my view

The cheapest option I found for posters without using frames is to bring your poster to like a hobby lobby, ask them to cut out the white edges and glue on a foam backing, and just getting removable velcro strips. Total should be no more than 20 bucks.
This is a good method, you can also have it glued to perspex if you want more rigidity
what is hobby lobby
@@SaarlaneKretiin a hobby/craft store in the US
Maybe see if there's a non-Hobby Lobby option first though, like a Michael's or something. Hobby Lobby is extremely fundamentalist Christian, to an extent that I think even many Christians would find excessive. Hobby Lobby executives have said that they think all laws should be based on the bible, and they also smuggled $1.6 million worth of cultural artifacts out of Iraq in 2009. They were planning to put them in a Christian museum, but were forced to give them up and pay a $3 million fine. If Hobby Lobby is your only local option, fair enough, but I would suggest looking around a little bit, unless you want your money to go to people... like that.
@@lued123 michaels and Joanns in the U.S. should be another option
FINALLY IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR CHANNELS LIKE THIS
I feel like the content gripes could be fixed if they added some form of tag and filter system, so you could filter out their meme/ai designs. Because I get that most people don't want to hang up those kinds of posters, but a couple of the ones at 5:00 were kind of funny as satirical posters.
Shame on companies that let their sites get infested with shitty AI slop

this was actually very useful to me lol, id been recommended them before by a friend and have been looking for new wall art for my room. i guess my takeaway is: use displate as a avenue to find art you like to frame yourself. i may go for one if i can find a design i like.
Duuuuude this is such cool content. Pls keep making videos like this.
Thanks for talking about the stolen and ai art - i so rarely see that addressed but i heard some artists say they got their art stolen which sucks
5:11 the third design is actually genius if you get the reference, the guy is a member of the french RUclips channel Mcfly & Carlito. I"m pretty sure it was made as a joke by them in a required sponsor contract or something where they had to give a custom design so he gave them this masterpiece
edit: same thing for the one at 5:18
As a french person, I just went "nah, I'd buy that" when I was them
Man, kudos to your editing skills!
Visited a colleague from Uni last week. Guy had at least 2 Displate pieces on his bedroom wall and you can guess what they were about...
I ordered a Displate after seeing a RUclipsr advertise it. I've moved twice and have never been able to hang it up again because I still can't get the fucking magnet off the wall of my mum's house, so now that I'm in a rental, I'd rather not permanently attach an impossible to remove gigantic magnet to my wall. I don't know who is struggling with them falling off, my experience has had this magnet scourge the wall for years. Plus, it's fifty fucking dollars to get a replacement magnet here in Australia.
get some command strips, friend
@@bluebosnian Man you got the right fucking idea.
God yeah. My boyfriend moved into a new place recently, and the previous tenant had had a bunch of Displates in every single room, but they took the posters with them and just left the magnet things all over the walls. He had a total nightmare removing them all.
@@dissonantdreams "Simply take a corner and slowly peel them off" my arse, those things are an eternal scourge.
@@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor Ironically when I was looking into how good the magnets are (I was a lil suspicious of slapping a giant magnet on a wall and it remaining good for a long time) I saw a crapton of posts about how often the magnets/adhesive falls off.
It seems the magnets are never consistent lmao. I wonder how much the room's environment affects the durability/strength of these things.
Ultimately, Displate isn't really a poster company, it's a tech company whose product is posters, as weird as that might sound. With that reality in mind, a lot of the weirdness with the weird bullshit subscription service and cluttered storefront becomes a *lot* easier to explain.
Lmao no they are just a poster company.
@@jacobkirch9652 Their product philosophy and overall attitude is much more aligned with tech companies than anything else. The constant sales and discount codes, the offloading of design work onto users, the aggressive advertising campaigns, it’s all very Wish, or Honey, or Surfshark, or what have you.
You don’t see Designworks sponsoring dozens of gaming youtubers to read a script about their poster designs, you’ve never even heard of Designworks because they don’t market themselves in that fashion whatsoever.
The tech company part is important; they're doing exactly the same thing as the competition, but less efficiently and with this magic hype that doesn't seem to dropoff because of its weird skew.
May I recommend not engaging in overly reductionist forms of simplification?
I get it, you want to explain a phenomena without really digesting it, but your brain in it's quest for ever less work has achieved a grossly incorrect conclusion.
Displate is not a tech company; And them engaging on more recent sales tactics that got popularized in IT reliant fields does not change that.
Unless you want to state that airlines and large store chains are also "tech companies", and have been for well over half a century, at the very least.
@@OzixiThrill
All I’m saying is that if it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and acts like a duck, it’s probably a duck.
Displate’s main method of advertising is via hype and an endless slew of sales. Its main selling point is that it is Disruptive and puts a spin on the product that just so happens to make it several times more expensive than the competition. The bulk of the company’s product is outsourced from what are effectively volunteers. These are all staples of Silicon Valley business strategies, pulled straight from tech companies.
These sorts of businesses are an extremely new phenomenon, and the majority of them deal in technology and software, hence the umbrella term I’m using.
The prices are absolutely mental, it's unreal and unthinkable. I'm not gonna spend $60 or more on a small poster like that, I get offended every time I check their website.
6:36 I love how good you explained this. Im really suprised.
That is a BOLD thumbnail. Respect.
EDIT: Great video as always. I feel like the biggest issue with a lot of these sponsors so far is just being aggressively overpriced (guess that's where they get the money for all those sponsorship deals).
This is always a concern when it comes to the truly *everywhere* sponsors, this indicates a substantial advertising budget, as well as a near endless slew of promotions a lot of the time. Also makes me *very* suspicious of some of them, particularly those that shouldn't even be *able* afford such a massive advertising budget, like Opera GX.
@@AdmiralTailsopera GX, lol yeah the thing about all these Sponserships is I wonder, do any of these fucking tubers use these products on a regular basis?

The only issue that I have with that, is there (to my knowledge as of right now) is no filter to separate them from regular pieces when looking for specific designs. I could care less what designs they allow onto the site, AI included, as long as I can properly filter what I want.
Yeah no screw that

Their sponsorship ads always emphasize the actually good quality artwork and officially licensed art, but all of the posters made from AI-generated and/or stolen artwork on the site really turned me off from ever buying from Displate. At that point its no better than etsy or ebay in terms of quality control, or lack thereof.

A few months ago, I bought myself a large mouse pad and gd are there a lot of AI generated arts. Some are nice and all, but a lot are just generic. It's just the price that is demanded for them that can be way too high..... especially when they all come from the same place (yes, I tested. I bought 2 different pads from 2 different online stores and they came at the same time AND shipped at the same time. The better one was taking too much time to ship).

You're doing realy great work! Thank you!
Great video, really opened my eyes to this brand and funni editing xD
I have 2 pairs of displates, they are nice, clean, the art is actually original and it matches my space very well. The pricing on some editions are incredibly expensive and the fact that the majority of walls just won't work with the magnetic panel is incredibly dissapointing (I ended up using command strips). The major issue with displates is the magnet panel and the copyright - but overall I would still recommend them especially in a 1 big purchase due their consistent discount deal, never buy the frames and buy some command strips.
Yeah I got textured walls in my room, one of the posters has fallen, haven’t bothered to hang it up again but I’m sure the command strips would help.

The problem is, here in Europe for me at least displate is actually cheaper then that scroll/paper website. Because of the shipping costs.
Displate should tbh price their products cheaper it's more expensive than buying a fumo plushie.
I've been wanting to get some displates for my shed since the fluctuating temps/humidity in there make traditional posters kind of a no-go, so I went on the site recently, and while I really liked finding smaller artists selling original works I was really put off by all the absolute trash AI art on there and the really poor, unhelpful navigation, so I found it hard to trust enough to actually go through with a purchase.
I enjoy what Displate offers, but there really are people trying to cash in with low effort reprints that make searching for the gems an ordeal.
Great video
That Jixaw pipe drop sound effect usage was so smooth that I had to rewind to be sure I heard it
the large cat one should go on your ceiling above your bed, and when you wake up it'll be to a falling metal catgirl
If the custom one was open to everyone i probably would slap my own art and get a few.
Apparently it is according to another commenter. Said it was free too.
You can just make an artist account, upload some art, buy it from your own store and then remove it again.
Or that used to work in the past at least.
If you can wait a year, get the membership. One year of paying for that, you get a voucher for a free poster, including customs. Cheaper than buying one as is. $36 a year vs $49+shipping per order
I don't get the point of a subscription service for posters. Maybe it's just me but when I buy a poster I generally leave it up for a few years before I think of switching it out.
I think their big idea was to have their posters be some kind of collectible product. Perhaps they wanted to have it be the new Funko pop type of product, as in the "nerd" collectible for people with a bit too much expandable income. They used fomo and exclusivity to fuel this idea. But of course, at the end of the day, it's all meaningless and doesn't work when their website is cluttered with stolen garbage and AI generated content.
Thank you, this was very informative!
the fact i got a displate ad before the video played
I got two Hunt: Showdown displates, as they have absolutely amazing designs, and despite the price, I am pretty happy with the product. But that of course doesn't excuse art theft.
Yeah I have two generic space themed ones, lol one of them has fallen off the wall, the other is still up, i like them but yeah the stolen art and AI art is just eww.
I have a few displates. We hung one of them next to our computer on a wall with a power strip plugged in. It fell off one day and landed right where the power strip was plugged into the wall and nearly started an electrical fire. Be careful where you put them!!!!
Legitimately terrifying 😓
love these "popular" sponsor critiques
Great video! Looking forward to the BetterHelp/Riad Shadow Legends videos!
These things are sheets of metal, can you imagine the noise they would make falling off your wall in the middle of the night?
This happened to me and it woke up my whole family - along with me. We thought someone had broken in, and the edges of the metal poster damaged my floor a fuck ton.
uh yes, even with a carpet it was annoying because the magnet just did not stay on the wall, even now i just keep them under my desk because i can't hang them up which sucks 😭
I'm not surprised by the result. Sponsored products are, most of the time, a bit like MLM products : overpriced when just not straight up scammy. How else would actually make money when paying so much in influencer marketing ? If tge production was good enough on its own, after a while they wouldnt need to continue those big campains. Just look at raycons and how no one is actually using them outside of their sponsored segments.
4:52 i was with ya for the entire video but c’moooooon man you can’t knock a goddamn Deadpool poster for being bad when the shittiness is so obviously part of the bit 😭
Thanks for info, I've always wondered about displate
I kinda want that catgirl poster…

1:46 nahhhh no way you have that
I have never gotten a Displate ad before, until I clicked on the video where the ad I got before watching and after watching the video was a displate ad.
I got a nice poster from ArtStation. And then I custom framed it. The framing cost wayyyy more than the poster ever did, but it also makes the whole artwork look wayyy better.
WHAT A COINCIDENCE. I've been seeing these folks popping up constantly halfway into a vid.
Nice to see an honest review for something I might actually consider.

I'm only here to say that this isn't new, advertisers have and always will lie, and just let the people who try to entertain us entertain us with whoever's money they want. In the end, it's up to the consumer what kind of products they buy, and a RUclipsr is probably just trying to make it work with whatever sponsorships they can get.
Just got a displate ad before this vid, feeling good!
the knowledge of them falling off the wall sometimes makes me glad i never got one
great vid
Mine has fallen off twice and has fucked up my floor
I was just about thinking about buying one from displate couse i was thinking for a long time and lucky i was to wait watching this video. THANKS MATE! i saved some money
not me getting a displate ad before this video haha
Please review *Raycons* next.
I remember there being an add for displate and the poster the guy selling it had this really cool tf2 poster and when i went to look for it it didnt exist. Kinda feel better now
Dude I'm so glad I found this video. I watch Otzdarva and VaatiVidya who have both been sponsored by Displate for years and they like to show off the super cool Dark Souls/Dead By Daylight metal posters they offer on the site. I finally checked out the site a few months ago for ideas for a birthday gift for my mom, and all the art on that site was stolen or AI-generated. It was so disappointing. I thought it was like an actual artist marketplace. What's even sadder is that if my mom ever finds out about this site she would probably buy me something from it because she likes to buy "diamond paintings" which are basically Chinese "color-by-numbers" posters where you stick shiny plastic beads on a grid to make an image... She has a ton of them and they're all stolen art, of course. I only realized it when she got me a Persona 5 diamond painting for Christmas and I recognized the art. When I asked her where she got it from, she said it was from AliExpress...
the fact that i got a displate ad on this video is hilarious
Kind of gimmicky imo. Good in concept, but also kinda overpriced.
yeah IMO the big problem with them is the price and the fact that they have zero quality control over what actually goes onto the plates so the store is filled with scam images. Your video is spot on. Keep up the good work!
Super ironic that I just got a displate ad at the end of this video
Yeah, the reason for the high price and constant sales/vouchers is most definitely because the discounted price is the actually intended price. The normal price is just there to make the "discount" look good.
And if they are having sales with only 2-3 days between each other, I'm honestly questioning if that's even legal.
The good thing about this model us that if you ever actually get sponsored you it's gonna be a good product
I remember watching a video Caddicarus made that had Displate as a sponsor; Back then it actually seemed like a really novel idea to me, even to the point where I looked into the website and found two really cool prints of the health and HEV suit chargers from Half-Life made by the artist RemusBrailoiu.
The video Caddy made with the Displate sponsor segment was uploaded three years ago, the two prints RemusBrailoiu are long gone from the website, and someone is selling Bored Ape NFTs and AI art as prints on said website.
It's a damn shame the website went down the shitter in terms of quality control, because I was seriously considering picking up a print or two from it back then.
Caddy makes great videos but the sponsored segments are kinda annoying. At least he makes them unique.
Thank you for being informative.
I got a displate add while watching a video bad mouthing them XD
Given how high the humidity is where I live, I'm sure if I were to get Displate, it'd fall off in a single day.
