I don't think it counts unless you wear lulu lemon pants

I am a bloomer user, when I migrated to using it it was on the premise that I agree to a tax on my collections, what I don't know is whether I'll be able to cram my music streams into a clip's worth

Ironically it's people like me who stream at the lowest bandwidth (3 minutes is 30 megs) and provide the most creativity: creators and music streamers, who will get hit the worse by it because streaming is a way to eventually make 10 bucks for us, not something we can spend 10 bucks on from the get go (it's R220, netflix, which I can't afford, is R99), I've been on lens for over a year and made 15 bucks in total out of thousands of posts, most of it was given to me by two of my friends so far so its technically not network donations.

Gamers on the other hand farm the network by streaming for 12 hours, don't care about their recordings and will probably happily spend 10 bucks to play their 100 dollar game on a stream somewhere for a month, but for the general public the benefit to the website is more 'street cred' than active watchers.

Then there's users like lolnifans who I personally coaxed into moving form youtube, which uses streaming for archival, he'll also be gone. I understand that the suggestion here is that bloomers is not sustainable in its current state, I can't attest to that being true or false since I haven't seen the total revenue generated compared to the cheapest possible ipfs archival costs, I do know that some networks like filecoin provide grants etc, and so does many other crypto projects, so if its really the space that's so expensive, plans can be made to mitigate the cost.

There's may be a lot of users out there who'll fork it out, but users like me will be stuck going back to youtube where the goal is getting sponsors.

I'm so confident that if this one issue is resolved, people will stay on hey

The biggest issue is I keep onboarding people and there keeps being this 'aaand its gone' moment

You might not know this, because bloomers doesn't display it, but there is already a payment model at play, 5% of all collections an and off of the platform.

If you want some good ideas for premium features I can help

Apart from that, if you want crypto users at large to support fees (apart from the tax on collections already charged), then there should probably be some transparency about the expenses and how much of the fees paid for it.

If you can make the post survive, you have my full support, you can use clips, what about a middle ground, like you can make the clips a little longer, and make it that you can only make one for free per video and if you don't record a clip it uses the first 3 minutes or something, it would seriously mitigate the damage made.

Remember two things, if bloomers makes lens objectively worse as a whole by polluting the history, it will likely not reach a very high popularity rate, but if the changes made are innocuous it can be perceived as part of the 'evolution' of bloomers as a peice of software.

I think auto clip triggering on first audio for a recording, with a maximum length and quantity for free users is a low feature cut but it will at least not feel like a bait-and-switch of features either.

There might even be more good ideas out there 😄

Youtube is far ahead of everyone, ask yourself this:

On which other network do people actually get sponsorships?

Nobody wants expiring videos filling up their threads for ever and ever, If you're doing that please just leave lens

Yes, and #hey needs to remember your collect settings or allow you to set a default FFS

hey #yoginth, as a #hey user, I want to say that I absolutely dispise how my post shows up then disappears, whether its a post or a comment, why are we still seeing this behavior after all this time? cant that be fixed right away? who else hates this?

I guess you made this rhyme after editing your rap music video in the store at 3:43AM 7 hours earlier 🤷 #hey thread put all your videos right next to each other, made it look like it was all posted at once

I take it this is older videos that you're reuploading to farm?

Just saw you out and about a few minutes ago

You already had rappers, you were just ignoring them 🌹

Nipples incomming!

do you even know that you're shadowbanned on lens?

now there better be

video codecs be lik3

This is the best art on lens, making my original the second best

somebody make that poor man a sandwich

thats what we get for being productive ;p

Will there be fireworks?

1 MOAR!!!! #LFGROW

Gm, so what do you think its the bear season causing the views to drop?

software changes? human behavior?

yoyo so do you think its the bear season causing the difference in views? or is it software changes? or the evolution of the social networks trends?

Here's the best #LIP proposition so far:

If users do something dumb like collecting a good morning post or mirroring it, mark them "NPC" and give them a grey check till they #grow

There's nothing wrong with saying good morning, but if someone is buying it from your or sharing it with their friends, I challenge their authenticity with a duel to the death, I'm good at beating NPC's it will only level me up

Oh and while you at it give me a pink check cause I'm so clever

Unless you're tattooing bart simpson writing 'please give me a paper cat' 10 times on a chalkboard with the chatgpt logo on it

If you think you're an artist by using AI to prompt art... This is what artists actually do:

The inclusion of the poop emoji suggests a critique or commentary on the limitations of AI-generated art, where the artistic nuance and creativity may be constrained by the nature of the prompts or instructions given to the AI system. The image humorously juxtaposes the iconic Surrealist style of Dalí with the simplistic, emoji-like output, implying that the true artistic vision and expression can be diminished or oversimplified when relying solely on AI-driven image generation.

This meme seems to be a Dadaist-inspired representation of the tension between human creativity and the limitations of AI-generated art, where the prompts and instructions provided to the AI system can oversimplify or reduce the artistic expression to something as basic as a poop emoji, despite the artist's (or in this case, Dalí's) iconic and complex style.

Claude 3 knows exactly the complex message that I communicated as an artist by creating this meme, it knew that I was using absurdism to portray the keyhole of the AI prompt as a all-puns-intended Dali painting a poop emoji, did you perceive the complex message that it did? It is my opinion that if you're not a nuanced communicator, you're not an artist, leave it to the artists or learn how to become a nuanced communicator.

Art is not asking for a paper cat ten times.

I don't believe that there are any artists on lens, if you're a real artist, explain to me why this masterpiece is better than AI art.

The magic number 😁

What have I been doing?

I've been making a multiplayer game with godot

heres a sneak peek

That's so weird, if you check the music I posted, the first time I posted it it had no collect, I deleted and reposted and it had a collect

Only if we also get to see you in the club with the worst sound system

Didn't know you were a lens girl tell me more...

#gm everyone

It seems like my posts were getting way more traction two weeks ago, is it the bear season causing it or is it the rapid evolution of social activity on lens?

#lfgrow
