I’m better at starting fires than putting them out.

This

Ahhh see you have now reverted to the standard troll handbook. And that’s why the downvotes were turned off. Off you pop, back to Redgifs and don’t let the door hit your arse on the way out.

I’d rather you left a mean comment because then I can tell pretty much where you’re coming from. If you’re a cunt then I can ignore you. If you have a particular gripe with the picture (too old, too small, kink you don’t like etc.) I can decide what to do about that on a case by case basis, you never know you might end up getting content that you like better. And that’s before we get into the vote manipulation argument where users can promote their own content against competing content.

Can you give me an example of a condescending post? Not a comment, a condescending post.

The fact that you’re unironically using the “snowflakes” argument makes me suspect that you just use downvotes because you’re a miserable type of a person and you just want to spread that misery around.

There’s literally no point in interacting at all without downvotes.

If the extent of your engagement is voting then nothing is lost without your engagement. Why the fuck should I source content, verify it and then post it when all you little Emperor Commoduses just downvote it for the lulz?

If ever there was a user whose existence argued against the ability to downvote thou art the man.

Nuh, Nahhh don’t use the teeth.

Yeah, it’s just so low effort. You want to see engagement titles done right check out sexmeat’s profile. That woman always makes me laugh.

Nope. It’s just been pointed out to me that these posts are form a bot/agency and SweetieAlexa is probably blissfully unaware of Lemmynsfw’s existence on the planet.

Unless they like to be paid in rancid cum, I don’t see how those people are actually of any benefit to the models. They need to convert the views to engagement.

You’ve missed my point. They will have been told something works to their benefit. If they find out that it doesn’t they won’t pay for it.

Certainly they’d have paid but more likely they were told that there was a promotional strategy rather than, ‘I’m going to make you quite unpopular on various platforms.’

What if part of the verification process was an agreement not post post any piece of OC more than once to the instance? That way if the mods and admins had to progress to blanket bans it could be seen that they’d tried to cooperate and the agencies would then be seen to be bad value for money to the models.

Sounds like we need to have a verification system for OC.

OK.

I was wondering what the models might think about their images being used as spam but I suppose they might not give a fuck.

In that case then there should be absolutely no tolerance for that at all. Was Yesbum the same agency?

That’s interesting, have you had follow up conversations with the OF models about where their content is ending up?

To start of with, yes, I find it irritating.

However I like to think about things and here’s how I think about this. Firstly, these people have more skin in the game in a literal and metaphorical sense. They’re sharing their bodies with us and have no great expectation of immediate financial gain for doing so. So, if I were in that position I imagine my attitude would be ‘I am sharing myself and I get to dictate the terms of how that sharing happens.’

Second, they may be experimenting with communities to find where they seem to be best appreciated.

Third, they might be deciding whether this kind of sharing or instance or platform is right for them before investing more time and effort in creating more and better quality content.

So I think it’s a learning curve thing and if one creator starts to try to milk the same five photos for an extended period of time I’d expect them to fall foul of the laws of diminishing returns.

I can afford, for now, to put aside my irritation with the reposts and hope that the users doing it settle down into a natural rhythm of posting OC.

Of course some mods of individual subs might like to drop them a kindly worded warning PM that such behaviour is largely perceived as irritating and they might like to think about it but I think there’s users that post non-OC content that behave in other ways which are hurtful to the instance which should probably be addressed first.

Too many debates.

What’s wrong with a mass debate?

Seriously though, if you want to drive engagement asking people about things is a good way of doing it.
