I'm a relatively smaller YouTuber, only just recently hit 1.33k subs, highest performing video right now is at 31K. I have an offer from TripoAI which a AI-based 3D asset service, pretty much you can make models from uploading pictures or just text-based prompts.

We've agreed on a payment amount that they're going to pay half of upfront and the rest after the video has been published. They have sent me a contract in the form of a .docx document as well as their bank information via pdf. I've read the contract and had ChatGPT go over it as well just in case, it seems legit.

The only thing I have to do apart from giving them my legal name + payment information and sending an invoice is I'd have to do is make an account on their site and send them the email address I used so they can activate a 30-day "Tripo Max Membership" on my account and set up an exclusive code for my audience to use.

I'm a faceless YouTuber so I'm mainly concerned about giving them my information in case they have a reputation for something.

Is this legit or a scam?

TL;DR - 3 year toxic relationship, dont know how to leave without her s/hing, related a lot to album lyrics and themes, got strength to leave

I was in a toxic relationship for about 3 years, anyone who’s been in a toxic relationship will understand how much it fucks you up mentally. My appetite was pretty much gone, constant anxiety, etc etc.

For months and months I was almost constantly debating leaving, thinking about how I’d even go about it because of self-harm/suicide threats, etc. I had everyone telling me that I need to leave, anyone that I told said I was insane for staying as long as I had but regardless my head was convinced that I was alone.

When Glass Jaw came out I was more just excited about the music, I’ve been listening to Aries since the day Conversations dropped so him dropping is a once in a blue moon event. But while I listened I noticed a lot of parallels in the things he was talking about and what I was going through.

PP - ts hit me like a mf I can’t lie, ”my side of the bargain doesn’t come to an end”, “I love you, will forever do the best that I can”, “I stuck around when the shit fell through”, and then ESPECIALLY “showed up, gave it everything I got, but the party’s been dead a long time”, all those were direct mirrors of almost my entire relationship so to hear them coming out of my favourite artist was kinda emotional

DMTNT - hella parallels, “look what you done made me do, I’m finally through with you”, I had to initiate the breakup cause I knew she never would so this shit hit, “you tell me I should be a man, I spent some time to fit the shoes as best I can, do I play the fool or confess my every move”, exactly the shit that was happening to me, never being enough and ex wanted control, “when I had life I was saying too much”, exactly what happened, I was a very open person before my ex, “it’s always something would you cut it out”, there were constantly arguments about stupid shit

D4N - so this didn’t really have parallels but it was a big motivation in getting the courage to leave, I went through a lot of shit long before I met my ex and if I stayed in the relationship theres no way I’d be able to have the life I want so the song to me meant “after everything I’ve been through, do I really want to stay with this person and have it all be for nothing”

ANE - a big thing in my relationship was that she was always asking more things of me and I never seemed to be able to catch up, so the theme of “im dragging my feet cause the one thing you’re asking of me is to keep up” was close to home, but also just the overall theme of feeling like you’re in a hole and being numb to everything

GJ - pre much the final thing that confirmed to me that I need to end this, listening to it felt like he was telling my story and in a way it was therapeutic, especially the final verses. A lot of the relationship was her accusing me and calling me things like asshole, dick, a cheater, etc, if you can think it I’ve probably been called it. So the “I’m not a tyrant“ verse made me realise I internalised those things a lot more than I thought and it reminded me that it’s okay for me to deny being those things and I don’t have to feel guilty for it and that I have the personal agency to be able to feel that way. The “I hope that your cup” lines hit hard cause that’s exact the way I felt leading up to the breakup, I didn’t really care about myself I just hoped that she’d be okay with everything.

Anyways it’s about to be 5 months since we broke up and I wouldn’t say I’m happy with my life but it’s definitely easier to deal with shit without being constantly brought down whenever I feel a sense of anything that isn’t misery.

Doubt Aries will ever see this, but if he does - thank you for giving me the strength to leave.
