I was trying to remember what your native language was. I know one of the other photographers was Finnish and couldn't remember if that was you. You only have slight tells which show English isn't your first language, but that's potentially a good thing because you can't be accused of using AI. 😉 Even the AI checking tools often give false positives.
My most recent post was in a Spanish community, which might explain why I got an appreciator vote on it. 😆 I think at least one of the curators for them is Spanish and it's becoming quite a large language group on here. I have to admit that I'm glad they have appreciator because at one point the had next to no support from any big accounts, but I understand your point as well. I wouldn't comment in a different language to what the post was written in. When it has two languages and one is English I admit I can be a bit lazy if I'm rushed and just comment in English, though.
If you're old then I must be too. 😆 I'd prefer to be using old fashioned images and thanking the people who took the time to create them if I don't have my own. I feel like we're losing touch with real people and the supportive nature of community. I haven't even used AI for research. I still do that the old fashioned way too.
I had a quick look at the AI image creation on peakd (yes, mixed messages for sure) and you need to pay .05 Hive to even generate an image. Not hugely expensive, but what if you don't get quite what you're wanting?
Thank you! I had to work for UK & US IT companies for more than 15 years, so that's all learn on the go, I haven't been to any language school :) Still plenty to learn with regards to the language but doesn't that apply even to our mothers' tongues? :)
Trust me, even if I post in a Spanish community, I won't get an upvote from them, it seems I stepped on someone's toe but truly, I have no idea what could be so wrong. Someone took it personally and told everyone else I am a bad bad person and photographer. Anyway. I don't care much, I have a handful of pleasant people to communicate to, here and that's enough ;)
I think there are much more Spanish speaking users on Hive now, than English-speaking ones, as it's not only Americas, certain parts of Asia also use Spanish. So it is good they have their own supporting whale, too bad the most of them power down and withdraw everything, HIVE is slowly but constantly sinking but that's normal I guess.
I wouldn't pay a dime to generate images with AI, plenty of free stuff online and moreover, it is easy to install AI software like StableDiffusion on your desktop PC and then there are no limits and no censorship (by the way yesterday on the national news a seventh-grader who posted on a social network AI-generated porn pics of some of his classmates, to everyone shock...)
We live in interesting times...
Have a great day :)
I did not know Spanish was spoken anywhere in Asia.
It's a double edged sword in many ways. For example Venezuelans need the income from Hive, but they are also making Hive into a usable currency with businesses there taking Hive/HBD as payment, which should be a good thing, especially if it continues to expand. It's actually in their best interests to see Hive succeed and grow and I know many try only to take out their liquid Hive rather than powering down. But yes, many in the third world countries just constantly power down, which is disappointing and not helping.
I guess it shouldn't come as a big surprise that it would be used in this way, but that's pretty messed up!! I feel for the classmates.
I read somewhere than the major part of the population (more than 100M people, I think) of Philippines speak English, although it is not an official language for the last few decades.

For years, I didn't do a single power down and my idea was to use the liquid HIVE and keep HP forever.
Then I got a big downvote that was lacking any reason, on a travel post of mine that I spent writing for hours, a post of a favorite place of mine, with some great photos included, the post got to the top 3 in pinmapple, back in the times it was called that way. The account that downvoted me at the same time gives 100% upvotes to posts with questionable quality and much bigger rewards that barely add anything of value to the platform. Of course, my subjective opinion.
I know we shouldn't be emotional when it comes to investments but sometimes when I see too many things happening, that I don't like, I do one-week power downs.
To be honest, I make much more HIVE by trading on Binance, selling highs and buying lows, than by creating content, which isn't very inspirational and motivational for me lately :)))
AI is definitely reshaping the landscape of many social networks, web2 and web3, definitely beers and popcorns material :)))
Not something I've learnt how to do, but good to know. I feel like this is probably what our friend @ctrpch does. He's very savvy like that.
Yes, some even have to teach their children their native language because they've grown up speaking only English. I think there are a variety of quite different Filipino dialects, but Tagalog seems to be the main one. I'm no expert, though.
I've always tried to ignore the whale antics. Very easy to step on toes there too. I've had odd downvotes from them and the best approach seems to be to ignore it. Say anything and they'll make a point to downvote you more, usually saying that rewards aren't guaranteed or something of the sort. "Over rewarded" is usually the explanation given. I was lucky enough to come across a bigger player pulling someone up on this one time. The reality was likely that they didn't agree with the author's point of view, because it actually wasn't over rewarded at all for the effort and research put in.
Yes, my stack is mostly from trading, get in touch on discord I am happy to help
