I wish I had seen this post before I posted my photos, I thought by default I would keep posting on liketu when I read that it said optional.
I will say something and see how many get upset, but I really hope you could select only communities that have to do with photography, to say an example, I would not like to see step by step post of how to make a recipe just because it has photos, instead photos of a good meal with good lighting of the place and with a dedicated style to elevate the photography would be nice, and I feel that allowing all communities maybe would bring activity to liketu.com, but what kind of content?
About the watermark, personally it does not bother me because I felt it was a reciprocal way to create content, I use the app and in return we give advertising together, at no time I felt affected my performance when making a post, rather it was like a badge that I was in an exclusive place for photography.
Everything else looks good to me especially: Mobile Web/App, I think it's a must.
And man, I really laughed with this:
I'm a better model than I am a camera man.
The truth is that I hate being a model and I'd rather be behind the camera haha.
I mean, I never wanted liketu to be strictly about the creative art of photography alone. I wanted liketu to be accessible to people who post pictures as a way to blog. You know, like how instagram and other photo places are. Right now, there are a couple hundred people who post and probably very few actually appeal to your acute tastes, I get that, but the greater picture is that we hope to bring people of all interests (including those not strictly photography) and then it is down to you to follow, and use the tools we have to choose what to see, and what not to see.
Remember, posting to a community doesn't mean all posts from that community appear on liketu.com Only posts made with liketu.com will appear. Posting to a community simply allows people who also contribute photos that perhaps aren't strictly photography to participate in communities that share the same kind of interests.
Good to know, I really like liketu and whatever path you take I will follow it 😉
What I'm really excited about is the mobile app, it would be very cool to have it.
