this is actually great news. Considering how I have hated using thingiverse for years now. Years ago, my ad blockers and other things I run started throwing fits over Thingiverse content, then the data mining/harvesting/etc. I just left. They also had some scuffles with ad blockers.
I use myminifactory, but I also have a Patreon and a tribes account, and the files are archived on my myminifactory account.
