Hello, world. We’re up and about. Podrick was up early, but slithered under the quilts for a proper morning suck-and-cuddle. Apparently, I was his second stop this morning; Shawshank was treated to a snuggle as well. Pippin stood on my shoulders, either hoping for attention or a driving need to investigate the source of the sucking noises.
I did some smutwork yesterday afternoon, and scheduled another week or so of promo videos. I made ChatGPT write my captions again, because I want to see which gets better engagement. The Fansly devs explained why a metric shit-tin of photos hit the FYP when they rolled back their last change; the system saw a couple of months of pics with no FYP views, assumed they were fresh, and dumped them to the FYP all at once. They’ve also made it clear one more time the fact that pics are never going to see the same engagement as videos, and to stop asking for it. They can’t force people to look at photos. Several people have suggested splitting the FYP separate feeds for the different media types. To me, this is just as fucking stupid. They’d still be complaining they don’t get seen as much as the creators who use video promos.
The latest addition to Audrey is an option to recycle a previously used promo, and keeps everything linked for easy comparison. I haven’t had much opportunity to use the function outside of testing, manually adding the bits that make a post recycled. Now that I’ve started actually using the function during my normal scheduling workflow, I’m slowly adding checks to prevent future-dated posts from borking my stats.
After dinner, Shawshank and I settled on the couch with a little table between us and watched “The Golden Child” on the laptop. While it was one of my favorites as a tween, he had never seen it before. It has aged fantastically well. We agree it should be in the same universe as “Big Trouble in Little China”.
