Hmm..trying to acquire 'likes' on social media is an addiction for some people, and a fatuous pursuit. The cynical manipulation, and data gathering behind it all, ought to ring alarm bells for the hapless victims- but no, sadly. It's illegal to text on a mobile (cell) phone when driving in the UK (or even to use a mobile phone)- as it's downright dangerous. In many cases, though, the idiots at the wheel are only responding to social media comments, and desperately seeking the transient 'highs' they derive from 'likes'. I'm glad this Forum has a saner approach to information sharing.Kaczor wrote:That's why people put build pictures on Facebook groups, at least they receive "likes" And it's much easier as FB resize picture for you.Sub wrote:Hi.
I have noticed that When you do take the time and effort to build and resize the pics and load them up not many people comment on them, plenty look, but very few ask questions or comment on your work which i think makes people think why bother to take the time to do it all, might as well spend the time building and then take a pic of it finished.
If only one person has a constructive comment on the builds I've posted here, and maybe the occasional plaudit- if the work is worth it, that is- I'm Ok with that. Sharing information on all things relating to the build process is what counts, as well as having a shared interest. Artificial Gratification is not the ultimate goal.
Ronnie, I have four unfinished projects going on in threads here. In time, they should all come to fruition, ere I meet the Grim Reaper (no 'likes to be had from him '). Time and money are the limiting factors, however, as well the temptation to begin another project before finishing the current one. I suspect many of the 6,000 are familiar with that tendency.
Uploading pics can be a pain, and is also time consuming; but adding to the useful pool that is the burgeoing archive, seems to make the effort worthwhile- to those who pipe up with comments, as well as those
who are reticent to contribute.
Roy.
