For those of us living under a rock, what's Gumroad?
An online ecommerce platform.
It's similar to Etsy. Targets smaller creators, values individual-made goods, but focuses on digital content, like soundtracks, 3D assets, etc.
I remember reading about Gumroad it used to be mostly for NSFW art, but they did a Tumblr and banned it. Maybe this is related to the loss of revenue.
Edit: found the article

Taking 30% off of physical goods sounds criminal to me.
