I haven't even THOUGHT about these things personally, but here they are, built on no basis and inaccurate data.

- I did NOT create my SocialDB profile
- I would not put myself on a website like SocialDB willingly
- My rates fluctuate depending on the brand, but you WISH I'd lowball myself like this.

This website scrapes your data and then lists you as a sponsorship option.
I did not have anything to do with this, I have accepted no sponsorships.
I was made aware of this about 5 minutes ago.
I'd be open to sponsorships, sure, but contact me directly.

They scrape social media to create a fake profile with inaccurate data to make up rates that you would charge for certain services, except you're not actually using this website for sponsors.

socialDB webscraped my account along with much of bsky. I'm listed on their site as someone who "accepts brand deals" but I do NOT perform any business or monetized content creation with this account.
socialDB should be shut down immediately. Lies, fraud, slop.

Ensure you have checked the box labeled "I want to remove a listing" and provide the relevant link. (Since this is suspicious AF, please don't give them your IRL name when you do this for your own safety.)
Do this for every listing.

Oh, and to request removal you have to sign up and agree to T's & C's! 🙃
