I just watched the drama unfold between VTuber Bao The Whale and the art-commission platform Skeb, and I’m reacting to every twist. Bao tweeted that she “HATES Skeb” after complaining artists posted finished commissions before she could use them—and then Skeb responded, showing that their system clearly states clients can’t restrict creator publication, and that this warning appears four times during the commission process. Bao later said her tweet wasn’t about Skeb specifically and claimed “I haven’t used Skeb for almost a year.”

The idea of an artist posting a finished commission publicly before a client has used it, revealed it, or approved it—that is a genuine issue in creative industries (embargoes, surprise reveals, NDA-style timing). Bao’s intention to ask artists to check timing is understandable.
She made the complaint by naming the platform (Skeb) and using strong language (“I HATE YOU SKEB”), which escalated the discussion into public drama.
Skeb’s response shows that the terms and policy explicitly tell clients that the creator retains publication rights—and this warning is shown 4 times. That means Bao’s use of the service included an agreement beforehand. Skeb’s statement: “This notice is shown 4 times … you cannot proceed unless you check the box.”
Thus by using Skeb, Bao had already accepted a system where commissioned work may be publicly posted by the artist. Her public complaint without addressing that acceptance appears inconsistent.
After the backlash, Bao claimed her tweet “was not about Skeb,” even though she named them. While she may mean she was addressing a broader commission-issue, the language and naming of Skeb made it clearly about them for many readers.
This backtracking undermines the clarity of her argument and raises questions about accountability: if you name a specific service and criticise it, you should accept responsibility, not shift the target.
Platforms: clearly show terms, ensure clients understand when they lose or retain rights (embargoes, exclusivity, publication). Skeb appears to do so.
