Better in cases where. i see your stuff..and it looks cool. But nothing i felt i needed to comment on. Compare that to like IG or other forums where you can just click a lil like button..
You do tend to want a little recognition for the work you put in....EVEN IF IT'S JUST LIKES!! ;O)

Well the other forum that shall remain nameless, that I'm a part of, does have a like button, and I like I said, I'd work all hard to take a stupid toy picture, and I'd get one friggin like, if that.

Meanwhile someone takes a poorly lit, blury, potato quality picture of whatever and they get like 10 likes and compliments.

And It's not even just the picture that I'm putting out there, it's what I'm taking a picture of. Now I've said many times, I can't customize my way out of a paper bag, my artistic skills are for shit. But I've spent ALOT of time waiting, and ALOOOOOOTT of money on my collection, aquiring the finest customs, from the best makers in the game, building relationships with customizers, and geting people that don't normally work in 4 inch to do work for me. And I might not have any artistic ability, but I know what I want the end product to look like, what it should have looked like from the begining, so there is a good deal of back and forth between customizers and myself where I'm like no, it should be this not that, and that needs to be this way. And So when I go through all that effort and money spent, and then put in the time lamenting over if the picture that I just worked on for half a day looks good or not, then to have all of that stuff go basically unnoticed is kind of a bummer.

That's why I basically exclusively post on Instagram nowa days, I mean I only average about 50 likes a picture, but that average has steadily gone up and I can see the effort that I put in translated into something.

And at the end of the day, I collect only for me, I appreciate the hell out of each and every figure on my shelf, if I didn't I wouldn't be collecting. And so other peoples opinions should be a moot point.

But to your point, the whole point of this thread and others like it, why they were created, is to appreciate 4 inch Marvel figures. And pictures of those figures is a huge, if not the biggest part of appreciating. We gotta see what we're all talking about right?
