A model said my nudes lacked sexual frenzy and dubbed them "Calm nudes", and it stuck. I shoot other things too.
Repost me with art (as I see it) & I'll be happy, reposting with porn will get a block.

I prefer a lot of things in mono, not just nudes. Mono makes it about line and shape. Sometimes simpler is just better, not always.

So did I, (still got more to share from it) so next time you're here, lets make sure we do another!

[2/..] Or why don't we? It's easier to say why we ignore a picture: we've seen something very like it many times. Successful art gives us a take on something that feels fresh. That photo you asked about does that. It's not composition or light or pose, it's the analysis-defying whole.

The question of what draws us in / makes a good picture might be old as art itself. The ancient Greeks wrote about the Golden ratio & rules for composition. And when we think we have a set of rules, we follows them and produce a dud! We are bombarded with so many pictures, why do we pause? [1/..]

Some people will post 100 or 1000 porn shots & appeal every one, so appeals per account needs to be limited.
I think the AI is at most 80% accurate which gives lots of reported misses / appeals against false positives.

Of course :-) Thank you

It's a bit of all of them, with being firmly any of them. It's not the bright saturated "tits and teeth" of glamour, too arty and not gratuitous enough for porn, but art would leave a bit more to the imagination. As an exercise in blurring boundaries, it's a success :-)

He seems to have gone. Sad in a way, he had a good eye for pictures, but wanted the traffic for himself, if he'd reposted so creators got the traffic he would have been doing a good thing.

Your replies are hard to follow - you referred to a justification for not using repost, which I can't find.
If I missed your magazine on the news stands, I'm happy to be corrected. If you pay for content, no harm saying my expectation on that was wrong.
It's not been a good use of my time either

I've seen a range from totally happy to quite cross, and not enough of a sample to know what the split is. If people have OK'd the way you want to use it, it might be a good thing to say so in your posts.

I'm unsure if the magazine has ever been printed or sold but I wouldn't expect anyone providing content for it to get more than reward than the warm feeling of seeing their name in print and their work giving someone else something to sell.

{2/2} If the majority are happy with someone just copying their pictures and into his posts, I might just give up taking photos and try to build an on-line presence with other peoples :-)

I don't know what the split is. Some (like @thelifeofsharks.com ) are sick & tired of content theft; others are fine if their stuff is used to build someone else's channel if they get a mention. I saw a bunch of yours tested a sample to see who's happy and who's not. If the majority are happy {1/2}

OK. There is a dividing line. A post's B's work and B is happy with the benefit they get, with that is unequal in their favour or unequal in A's favour.
i.e. there is a threshold at which B thinks the relationship is symbiotic.

There are two set ups. A posts B's work and both benefit about equally; or A posts B's work b perceives no benefit.
The first one is Symbiotic and the contrasting term (albeit emotive) for the second is "Parasitic" Now [ more...]

If it was pure quotes / reposts, I'd have no problem, whatever the number of followers. If you did that I'd tell people you're a great curator:-) A link to the source/quote/repost is worth far more than naming the author it gives them traffic, copying content keeps it for oneself.

[...continued] but copy & make-new-post means any likes, comments etc. go to you not the creator You could add anything you want in a quote post, but instead do extra steps to divert the benefit from someone's work to yourself.

[...continued]. You talk about potentially having many more followers than the photographer whose work you lift. This following being built on lifting photographers work of course. And yes some outlets have been able to get content in exchange for a credit. [more...]

Actually a copy and paste screw up on my part. Apologies.

OK. Let's say for a second you didn't acknowledge where you copied from. That would be theft, and you'd be building up your account by being a parasite, right? But you argue that if your link, makes the relationship symbiotic. We might need to respectfully disagree on that. [more...]

So here's the paradox: You have a good eye, making you a good curator. But why do you go to the effort of of copying content from a creative's feed instead of reposting linking to a source off bsky? It harms the creatives, but gives you a following.
