Booty

I first noticed that nothing of mine comes up anymore when you type Booty instead of Booty's a while ago, maybe 2 weeks? Now its even worse. I was wondering why I was barely making anything, but there it is. And the way to search isn't how people search Google like they imply. Nobody wants to type quotes and AND and other symbols to search for exactly what they want. A lot of people don't understand what's going on and just figure I took my store down. The worst part is that the MP is often how people find my store to come to it in world. It will take months to get the general populace to understand what's going on and as much as I hate it, I may have to find something else to do with my time and talents rather than make items to get 1/4 the sales they usually do.

This is starting to feel like American politics Up the taxes claiming things are going to be better for the middle class (Premium users and small merchants) while taking things away from the poor (basic) and giving the rich (Land barons) new tax breaks. This is basically a gigantic F you to me. Not only does my premium account go up, you are taking more from my cash-outs. I don't want or need a linden home. I am actually knowledgeable enough to buy one of beautiful homes made by creators and use it and don't like kicking it trailer park style in a Linden Home where dudes with their junk out try to come into my house. 60 groups is no benefit to me as I don't use what I have now. It's the freebie hunters and group gift lovers that seem to value a high amount of groups. I'll also bet the Chungs don't drop my rent. I mean, I do well, but I have no desire to own a sim I have to go through the trouble of selling if anything goes wrong. This also drives out basic members that prefer to spend that money on buying things and renting land instead of a few more groups and crappy mainland with fewer prims. Those wallets are going to tighten up on the creators as well if they have to go premium to enjoy SL. I also think many people forget that marketplace sales take 5% of creators revenue. That ads up as well. Most sales come from there for a lot of us. Why are you punishing people that help keep SL more interesting, LL? Personally, the less I make here, the less time I can devote to creation in Second Life. I am not stuck at home with nothing else to do. I have a real job. But, this helps me keep food on the table. If it stops being worth it, I am going to have to find something else more profitable to do. In this case I am not whining or anything, it's just true, as it is for many others I'm sure.
