There are other ways to do that. Probably, but we all agreed to do it through FB. I suspect that you are a nice guy, trying to be a curmudgeon, but don't know how. I am not sure of your Usenet character analysis, but as a "nice guy" I am vulnerable to a few things which will trigger my inner curmudgeon. One of those things are friendly nudges towards the FB Charybdis. My biggest complaint is the loss of privacy, so I am careful about what I post. Adverse comments have been made about my downgrading images. So you have been posting images downgraded for FB in a photogroup where they only invite adverse comments. No. With some exceptions I usually post downgraded images, for reasons we have discussed ad nauseum. I am not quite that paranoid. When you post an image on FB, you have given them a non-exclusive right to use that image for any purpose they deem fit. One of my friends, a fine art photographer, found some of her images being used commercially. All good reasons not to join the FB club. Horses for courses. I like to control the reins. IIRC There are other sites who claim the right to use your images in exchange for the free posting space. At least FB greases the umbrella. (sometimes.) Our older daughter's FB page was maintained for years. she used her dog as a nym and the dog would regularly complain about the things her mother was "forcing" her to do. It was cute and funny. One day FB just terminated her page, because not using your own name is a violation of their rules. (It's hard to get a dog to pay for purchases.) That take down brought a sharp realization of FB's commercialism. Sort of took all the fun away. I will not login to sites through FB and since then I only use it for family connections. Quite frankly, even Google Photos (ex-Picasa) provides a better experience for sharing images, folders of images, or URLs to images, than FB. Then there are all the various ways of sharing or collaborating we get with an Adobe CC subscription from LR, to Behance, and Portfolio. https://www.myportfolio.com/examples For me, image sharing is NOT my primary use for FB. -- PeterN |
