End of posting

I think it's time I talk about the future of this profile and my work here on the website. I started posting images here for what I think is the same reason a lot of you did it aswell: posting gives blue buzz, also people reactions does and in the past you could use that buzz to generate more pics that you would eventually post here so those could generate blue buzz aswell, making it a virtuos cycle for creators.

Of course you all know that is no longer the case as blue buzz is now virtually useless, so the only incentive left for posting something is for the purpose of showing it off and maybe an occasional tip from a generous user.

I've kept posting here for almost a year since that update and, frankly, I'm about done with it: not because I don't have things to share (between other generative websites and local generation) but because it is uselessly time-consuming and fairly pointless. Don't get me wrong, in the beginning I liked seeing the numbers go up and watching which picture people preferred, wondering if the next post would be liked by the other users, at one point I had so much blue buzz that I could have stopped doing that alltogether but, I would be lying if I said that that awful update didn't take a big impact in my motivation to generate. I had to start pondering about every gen, counting the little yellow buzz I had left, asking myself if I really wanted to make something or just keep that currency for when I really needed to see something.

These almost two years of activity on this website and learning about generative AI have taught me a lot about myself, what I like and my creative part and for that I am glad I experienced them; they also helped me opening a bit with others and be less afraid of people, even if it was in a virtual setting (as a person that never had a social network account of any kind that was a big novelty for me).

So I think that's about it, there is probably more that I could say about this but there isn't much of a reason to do it, from now on I won't be posting regularly: that doesn't mean that I couln't post something here every once in a while, just don't expect a pattern like before.

Thank you so much for all the follows and the reactions but thanks in particular for the few but precious conversations that I had with some of you here.

P.S.

I'll stay here for now even if I don't post, so don't be afraid to ask me a question about anything.
