The 45 a month is pennies when you factor in your time, electricity to make the project, run your camera and internet, cost of materials plus the 2 years, and them being able to use your videos however they want. Big fat hell no. Run from it.

cricut is going down hill fast anyway.....it's soon to be a thing of the past

I can't even express how disappointed I am in Cricut right now. I considered this a slap in the face to all faithful Cricut-ers.

I know that that is unethical and against the 1st amendment right.

Great video. I am so happy I went with a different brand. No company is perfect but Cricut needs to wake up.

Yeah, I won't be signing up for that because 1) I don't use/buy cricut products and 2) that document is ridiculous, and basically theft of intellectual property of the creator.

They are totally counting on people signing up without reading the "small (or large) print"!

SMH! Thanks for the info. Cricut never ceases to amaze me. I love using their machines, and sometimes I like DS, but this doesn’t make ANY sense. We pay out the wazoo for their machines, tools, and products and they want to pay $45 a month for the content that we create? How many months would it take for that $45 dollars to buy one of the Cricut Venture, Heat Press, Maker 3 Bundles??? Cricut will not be getting any more of my money. 🫤 And another thing…I just don’t wanna be a part of their little “Collective”…sounds like a cult. Not to mention my mouth is seldom ever “politically” correct. 🙄

And another thing . . . $15 a post, half of which is taxed, because it’s a self-employment arrangement. So, actually, $7.50. And you’ve paid for the vinyl, the blades, the electricity, the mats…So, add it up, and maybe you’re getting more like $3 for each upload?

Thank you for the information. Cricut has been running off the rails for a while now. They should just stick with the machines, fixing bugs and let their own designers do the work they're being paid to do. Besides im worth more than $15. A design and no one is going to use my designs without my permission and me being paid for each use. A huge thank you!!

Good for you for letting everyone know to read the fine print before signing up.

I definitely don’t want to be “owned” by a company. Thank you so much for this explanation.

I had to jump on and comment, thank you for posting this! I will agree on all points, and I for one do not like when someone only says good things about a company no matter what that company does, because at that point, you know they're not being honest. That is one of the reasons I love watching you, you are honest, when you do not like something you tell us, I for one really appreciate that.

Thank you for sharing this. It really says a lot about a company when they do something like this.

Corrine, thank you for always being 💯 with us!!! All I can say IS WOW just WOW!!!!!!

Wow! It’s really great that you took the time and energy to share this important info! It’s very hard to understand all the terms that sites put out. I just don’t believe it’s ok for them to “own and use” your work. Ty for your time.

I'm still using my Cricut 1st generation Cricut. I have at tons of cartridges in their original boxes abd they do all I nedd them to do.

Well that's one way to shut people up when they start complaining about design space.... As long as they are part of the program AND 2 years following, they can't say anything bad. Can you imagine the lawsuits that are going come from this? People aren't going to think about this ridiculous agreement a year and a half after they leave the program, they're going to comment in some Facebook group about design space being crap and the next thing they know they're going to end up in court- I don't know how this is even legal and I hope someone's attorney shuts it down because it's absolutely ridiculous.

Thank you for this. Most people do not read the full contract they sign. I live my cricut explore air and mini press but I have issues with their customer service and other products. I would never sell my sole for $15 on my work. Also as you said contract like that tell me they are greedy and scammy as well as not confident in their products. People are crazy to sign up for this. And many of these even go further( maybe this does I haven't read it...) by saying we can change terms at any time . They also play to people's ego...people want to be able to say " cricut picked my stuff!" Don't fall for that.

Corinne, you are an Earth Angel with a heart of gold! It's so kind of you to take the time from your day to make us all aware of what's going on, and I for one, appreciate all you do for us.
