A few days well spent in the beautiful Erzgebirge to focus on the last chapters of my new book. In between drawing and hiking we explored many empty buildings, much like my characters. Thank you @ullilust.bsky.social and Kai for everything!!

In the thread there are some recommendations for alternatives.
WeTransfer just changed their TOS giving themselves permission to train AI on any content you transfer and produce derivative works based on content you transfer that they are allowed to monetize and you are not allowed payment for.
Stop using WeTransfer.
