It is slightly confusing I guess. I'm a pretty confusing guy at the best of times (fortunately I seem to have grown out of the stage of confusing myself, so progress is on the horizon, lol).
I'm just here for the fun, people, memes, laughs, and hopefully, some evolution in the "right" direction. It wasn't long ago that the realisation dawned on me that it's important to "close loops", whether that's in my mind or someone else's. Asking questions helps with that, so does extending an olive branch or two, sometimes it requires an outburst which can then be resolved. It's not always a simple solution to "come full circle".
(I'm rambling on, I guess my point is that I see the extreme value in resolution and evolution, rather than ignorance and decay)
Not a fan of creating multiple accounts and I don't really have a desire to 'maximize'.
Glad to hear that, I'm exactly the same. We're (at least I am) trying to move away from the "got to use up all my vote weight otherwise I fail at Hive" mentality, the VYB curation project is heading towards that but it's still a process.
I really should have added a "no strings attached" message within the post because I genuinely couldn't care less what people do with those tokens. I can put my hand on my heart and say that I choose the people above because they caught my eye in the midst of the holiday season and it added something to what was probably the best festive holiday I've ever had.
Hope you're off to a great start for the year. I did see your recent post, and the "read "thumbnail, although I wasn't in the mood to give it a read at that time. Your artistry and style remind me of a part of myself that requires a certain state of mind to explore fruitfully.
Yeah. Not in the business of making enemies. Business matters and politics around here should be just thatI just kinda laughed. It's whatever. but it's not unusual for some to take things personally. I don't lose sleep over it. It's funny. @frot stopped by to call me a prick and,
Platform seems to be advancing to the point where 'the right way' doesn't really matter. People can do whatever the fuck they want. It's just taking some time to adjust to those possibilities. That's a long history of problems. Solutions can seem 'too good to be true' in these scenarios.
I noticed the one concern here about 'big accounts' receiving this prize thing. It's unfortunate some view that as a bad thing in a way. Takes away the fun after starting from scratch and working that many years only to have some turn it into a negative.
weird shit back in the day for them.I like the fun part though so I don't focus too much on that mentality. There's a new comedy community up and running, #comedyopenmic. I've been thinking about promoting it and might throw in a vyb shoutout. Blend the two communities a bit. No promises though. If I do it, it won't be a traditional promo. Did some
Other than that, that thumbnail is actually a riddle. It says 'read between the lines'. But I don't mind if you're not reading it. I don't expect everyone to be glued to my stuff.
Lol, I was actually thinking about that yesterday. www.proofofbrain.io has an NFT marketplace now and I was going to mint the meme I sent to you two in that comment thread, although I hesitated because of copyright and permission.
Yeah, that doesn't phase me one bit, lol. Makes more sense that some bigger accounts have finessed themselves and their content style, and that catches my eye. Subjectivity in content and impression is something I'm very comfortable with from grading posts in the #pob-wotw. I'm pretty happy with my choices, they're all interesting characters, yourself included.
Bizarre WOTW.Even better, traditional has its moments. I personally much prefer the weird shit. Speaking of #pob-wotw above, I think you may like how we did the
Ahhhh! I like it. It wasn't long ago that someone called me enigmatic. Here, I'll pass on the torch! 🕯️
I like the concept of the Bizarre thing. Don't normally join in on the festivities though. I just stick to my brand. Even comedy group wants me to write it's an entry in the headline, as a rule for all entries. Of course I won't do that, so I can't play, but I can still support it in other ways. Just have to get off my ass and actually post. Don't really care about winning prizes or intentionally disqualifying myself. Last time I won a contest it was because I made this:
Then I just gave the prize away to some noob and they didn't even notice or say thanks. But it's all good.
😂😂 this frog has popped up in my mind a couple of times over the weekend. It's quality. Have you started up with the whole NFT thing yet? I'm being lazy really, I should check NFTShoroom to see if you have, lol.
That's it, sprinkle and glide. Never know when your gesture will inspire someone to do something great.
I almost forgot to add this, I think it's on point with your mention of not adding a specific title because the contest says so (although we never did say so in #pob-wotw, some people do it for their own content categorization which is understandable).
As you can see, I have my own personal tastes when it comes to post titles, thumbnails, taglines, etc. Highly subjective of course, but that's where the magic is anyway.
The NFT thing is cool but I haven't jumped in. Not a fan of how it's priced in HIVE, locally, so that holds me back a bit. No control of the profit margin. 1000 HIVE could be worth $1300 one day, $700 the next and I rip myself off, $2000 another day and I rip them off. Imagine loading up with 100 NFTs then having to adjust prices daily... that's just not how you do business.
And yes, since I'd be focused on creating something entertaining, it has the chance to be shared on social media, potentially go viral, and not one human on the outside would be able to understand why there's a weird line about a contest. That's the main deterrent. Outside eyes don't speak the language.
Yeah... that is bound to drive folk up the wall. Maybe I'm not cut out for this crypto game, lol. I am yet to see the losses in that light, would rather stay in the here and now. Started putting my stuff on the POB NFT marketplace now instead of NFTShowroom (wasn't having much luck over there although that's likely because of the people I speak with) and have been following along with @pobscholarship to try and help get people minting (you sprung to mind!).
I think quite a few overlooked that part. Spend the funds minting, filling those shelves. But there's no guarantee of a sale. That could happen months even years down the road. Then you have all this merchandise with prices that only made sense on day one. The stablecoin HBD is the solution to all this.
I've been watching this whole NFT thing closely. You kinda took a dump on the business minds here recently, which I don't take personally, but business is one of my passions, it's part of what makes me, me. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, so some things get overlooked. Developers are great at what they do, spending all that time and energy, but then their product sits vacant because maybe they're not a people person and have difficulties getting the word out. That's why it's good to have a community with all walks of life. Always someone there to pick up the slack.
Personally I'm still not quite ready to start selling or even promoting NFTs, though I do point people in the right direction from time to time.

What do you mean by that?
