Glad I found you here, instant follow 👍🏽

One quote I heard years ago sticks with me, and has shaped how I think of the entire situation: “social media is not a real place”

Our actual life - including our happiness, accomplishments, dreams and friends - is out here.

Might I suggest checking out the Foto app. I have no vested interest etc in it - I’ve just found it a promising and refreshing place for photography

I don’t like the idea of any social media being a photo album or anything more than thumbnails - any photographer needs a piece of their own to show photos as they see fit, with SM being merely a pointer towards that place.
So, low-res photos are no problem really.

Thanks for making a very good point! 🙏

Teaching was not mentioned by me, very deliberately - it’s hard work.
We were talking about online hawkers who detract from the positives photography offers.

Yes! There’s little to no ethical accountability too - which to even a moment’s consideration really devalues any recommendations.
Some good information sometimes but, critical thinking needed!

Those who can, do…the rest, nuff said.

I can find no flaw in your logic, sir
