I'm so glad that @robrigo was able to get me on the platform over the holidays seven years ago now. My only regret is that I wasn't able to get on the platform sooner. I can't imagine what my account would look like if I had some of those autovotes behind me. We have a local tea shop near where I live that I have been thinking about checking out, but I have just never made time for it. I recently started a grilling and smoking community here on Hive, so I have been taking a ton of food photos myself. Just with my cell phone, nothing professional, but I'm happy with them!
Honestly, @bozz, most of the content that does go viral these days is from phones and that's it. My son is part of that generation and every time I shoot something like this he just says, "Dad, why are you making such a big deal over it. No one cares.", lol. Pretty much right, too.
Haha, that is pretty funny. I used to be one of those holdouts too and I would still like to get a nice DSLR camera one day, but dang if my Pixel 8 Pro doesn't take some nice photos. My niece just had a one off Halloween Tik Tok hit 2.8 million views. We keep teasing her that she is viral now.
