In the email used in March with a dribbble approved – means a person who has communicate with others on the platform – the company does not allow the designers to send payments.
The company provides these changes as one of the designer to protect the designer from not paying, as well as that allows you to listen to business.

However, KuznetSov claimed that it does not pay for no specific problem, and really, this update is about trying to try to take a larger designer business.
Dribbble is not brilliant.
Before the policy change, the dribbble made money in one of two ways. Starting in September 2024, Dribbble began pivoting into the market connectigariable market and client. Designer can communicate freely on the platform can then show 3,5% income cut for the modified client, or to pay Subscribe to Pro to pass the stock. In March, the company was tightened further rules, saying that someone finds a client in the dribble that has to offer the cut platform.
“This is optional to use our transactional feature that is required to use the transaction feature, if they are dipped, to find clients,” explain CEO Dibbble Constantine AnastasisIn interviewing techcrroch. “If the user has been resolved to find inspiration or requesting feedback, or to talk with your friends, no one affects,” he said.
Exek, you joined the company after work at the bottom, pond5 direct-to-screen parallel), and the freelancer market is rented to the market. While the company is profitable in the company of the parents TinyBut there is still a team of 20 young people and not depending on the backing attempt to serve 7.5 million visitors per month.
“Dribbble is a thing that is really shortened in a business dramatically again in the day,” KuznetSov tells techcrroch. Before the rebble, there is no platform where the performances can also show more work against others, says. This helps the designers to receive a special feedback on their friends and allow the more recent designers learn from the top of the industry.
Kuznetsov is now part of the last group.
In Milkineside, Kuznetsov has worked with companies like Apple, Google, Amazon, Scandinavia, Honda, Mitsubishi, Mercedes-Benz, and other great companies in the Bay Area.
As a result, he may not taste the risk will ban her because it is not remaining by new terms.
Anastakis Inses confirmed this.
He told TechCrunch If Kuznetsov received 83 questions about the work term begins for 61. In each of the messages, the site refers to the user that can be shown before paying a job. However, Kuznetsov shows contact information in six messages, which will display stronger warning at the time.
The company then followed a warning email on July 22 about repeated terms violations, which tells that he has given a permanent suspension.
Kuznetsov tells you that he does not see this email first, but the dubble says that you have been traced that the email is visited three before her suspension.
“I believe that dibble him to hurt me, I can spread (news) to give you a hard lesson for everyone trying to (to break the rules),” kuznetsov’s rules.
CEO CEO is dibble Anastasic confirmed many for techcrroch.
“There is no way that they can do that they don’t know that they are doing permanent suspension that risk,” Anastasakis tells.
“I think that the end he believed that it would not act against the Caliber Designer,” he said. “As the note side, I feel that he did more of us taking the word about seriously, we took the terms.”
For KuznetSov, or designer prohibited the same reason, the only option will be retrieved again, which requires a minimum $ 1,500 minimum campaign budget monthly.
New competitors for renewed to appear?
Kuznetsov has decided to balance your own way, say that he suffered a pain before.
“It will not be a dribbble copycat,” he said of the delayed introduction. However, it will be a source of designers that will also use AI.
When it has a lot of backlash on the AI model training on the creative work without compensation, KuznetSov believes that there is a case of useful technology, creating, and design.
“These great holes are now on the market … Every person performs AI Startup, but no one started to present for the Designer,” KuznetSov records. “AI is the matter that can raise the ability to create, and make the highest quality. You will help us just get the money and growing, but it also makes things that cannot be thought of a particular skill.”
Kuznetsov says he expects to have MVP (the lowest product) ready for three or four months.
However, he noted the purpose is not “killing” distble, even if the investors give you money to do.
“It’s not like that. I try to do good things for the people because I’m a designer. So I know how to be the designer of the world,” KuznetSov said.
“We need to feel intelligent about the way to invest – how to give you the best life and give life to another platform. The investigation of the investigation should be the item to think,” he added.
