Come out of the shadows and go your way

Self discovery and progression

A lot of my photography for me is about self discovery and positive progression. Doesn't matter what type of photography I create a lot of times what motivate me and what I want to transmit with my images is a sense of self and movement. It is all about getting out of your comfort zone and get somewhere.

Here are two very different and distinct examples of what I've said above.

Comfort is okay

It is fine to be comfortable and do what you love what is not okay is to stagnate in a state that is not comfortable or even positive for yourself and others. That is when it is dangerous. So when I create my images and share them with everyone I hope that someone that will see them will get motivated and inspired to be their best.

For a long time, both as a person and as an artist I have struggled and I have decided to battle those struggles. Being a creative person helps me battle my personal struggles and the same applies the other way around.

Do it at your own pace

Obviously everyone is different and what I do for myself it doesn't work for everyone. So you shouldn't feel bad that if what I do and what I say doesn't apply to you. Whenever you find what is right for you and in the right time. So do you will have something to share, if that's your thing. That is the fun and the curse of being a human being. Subjectivity.

I love to come out of my own shadow, and I have to do it over and over again. And I aim to get somewhere but even I am still looking for the best final destination. In the meanwhile I am enjoying my ride with all the ups and downs.

We're mostly concerned with growing the community / user base on our front-end(s) which we strategically designed to not show the reward values of a post. This is to encourage people to use it as they would other traditional social platforms without being overly concerned with the rewards. Rewards of course are a function of your ability to build followings and grow as the platform grows.

Given that we built this atop of HIVE, we expect most of our initial users to be existing HIVE users who are no doubt expecting traditional hive based rewards. We are not against this, and have allocated some resources to supporting creators in this fashion. We will be rolling out a new system very soon where users will be given reward points for liketu associated activities, for instance : reacting/liking posts, commenting, posting, getting subscribers, and these points can be accumulated to claim some extra rewards such as NFTs, merch and some time limited delegation.

Yes. That's awesome. But Ibwas asking if you had a program where users can delegate some hp to liketu and get rewards with that. Because you have been super great and nice supporting me and my stuff so I was thinking about making a delegation. It might not be much, but if other users would join as well would help liketu to be able to keep supporting as many users as they can ;)

Oh, yes. Well we can come out with a system for people who want to delegate. Most likely we'd give 100% of the curation rewards back to delegators. Do you think you and others would be interested in such a system?

Honestly, we're not interested in getting any slice of the curation rewards, it would be entirely about retaining and boosting activity but more importantly, helping us claim account tickets so we can roll out our onboarding program without hitting bottlenecks too quickly.

As I said and unfortunately I am not the rixher when it comes to my HP lolol but I would be glad to support the community that way and I think other users would also be happy doing it. Not only that would allow you to keep upvoting more and more users but also would increase even more the value of the support.

Appreciated. We'll look into rolling out a system in the next few weeks. I think this would be mutually beneficial to all.
