because you did the picture yourself your post valued up in my mind
This is part of the reason I do it. I am not a photographer, so I can't really offer individual pictures that stand alone, but I am an enthusiast, so I can use them to support my story as a creative of some kind.
A meme has short humourous value but tbh that's not the kind of content I would ever pay anything for ^^
They are also ubiquitous and free on a million and one other platforms.
A well made 5 minutes video can transport so much more than a written text for me personally.
I agree, I used to love the pixar shorts and the emotion they could bring in short periods of time - but just think how long one of those takes to create.
It all depends on content and production quality.
I answered piece by piece before i got to this - but yep.
