“For me, the blog a mixture of design and ads. There are some posts i like, some that i don’t, probably there are sponsored posts in the blog…and that’s all. Design is an ads itself”

So i invite you to do a design showcase/critique on the content, and what about it meets the merit of design?

I am not trying to be factious, just curious of your logic on this, because I see the standard template product promotion from the photography style to the linear block by block layout.

I understand you need people posting but the resistance to call the article an ad is bizarre. Product placement advertising is stretching from away from design to marketing/sales. I understand the two are linked. but there is a fine line.

By all means ignore and justify why this stuff is posted but honestly IMO it ruins the credibility of small forums like this. I don’t mind kitchen products, I love utensils, but i at least call it what it is.

I always remember an old video on divergence. Where a typical bodied person has to adjust to a house made for a dwarf.

They had to bob down and not bang their head on the door.

I appreciate your moderation. And I appreciate all users who contribute.

But you have to question if this is an ad or if its content. Content will bring people in. An ad is divisive, and may be called out…as I have. Kidding yourself it’s not just harms credibility of the community. Then shouting me down for calling it out just further makes me not want to be here. Do you need introspection on what passes in the community? and how you treat those that question that? well that’s your communities conversation.

I get that its frustrating and you consider me being negative. I just that like that the fediverse is a escape from the rest of the internet littered with someone trying to sell me something, I am always happy to see some graphic design, A nice building, I something that’s considered, beautiful, I personally enjoy clever use of design and print design, I was a typographer for many years, and I esp love design history . An air fryer in 4 colors. No thanks.

I do agree I should work on my tone, and at times sometimes my more is less approach is not interpreted well.

@Sabrew4k3 if I offended, I apologize.

I didn’t think I was being abrasive but if you feel I was I apologise. I agree I was a bit sarky, I am a direct person and that comes across as rude at times.

I love Art, and I love Design. But honestly if you feel a badly done SMEG air fryer advert is either art or design; then this is clearly not the place for me.

Great way to get discussion and new people. You showed up on the general feed and i took a look, do i need to be subscribed to have an opinion?

Given your hostile rant and inability to look at what yourself or have a discussion I wont bother coming back Have fun posting and contributing influencers tat. Long live a new SMEG airfryer!

Look I get that some people including yourself care and post. But one of the reasons I like the fedi is that it does not have ads, paid or subliminal.

This feels like an ad. There’s just a link. No discussion etc.

The website might say design but the title and topic walks like a ad, talks like an ad.

There’s little content about atheistic or function. It reads like an influencers promotional piece. Happy to hear differrent

Toni Collette appreciates with age. And Vicky Mclure is strikingly badass.

We doing advertising on here now?

and art and design topic? its plastic kitchenware.

And my comment aged like milk. What a dick. Glad the Americans have him.

Guillotines gets my vote!

Councils shouldn’t have to step in and mother or provide solutions for private companies. Companies have set up and made a mess, they should deal with it not the tax payers.

Does the archive option work for you?

May your generational gold always grace your ears with good sounds.

And along with it came the YT voice, The thumbnail formula (big head with curious face, chunky typeface, and an action background), and keyword loaded titles.

So much boring uniform ‘content’. That word is becoming a capitalist chore.

In general less consuming helps. Even try cutting what 30% of the crap consumed. It helps.

It’s not. Amazon was the easiest tech to leave.

This article makes my mouth water.

I love pies, I hope this does not do what happened to burgers they all suddenly became ‘gourmet’ and got stupid prices, everywhere was suddenly a overbranded burger joint with cult followers.

On a side note personal grievance the overshift to flaky pastry. Pies (and pasties) can and I think should be shortcrust. They get too messy and greasy, which takes attention away from the filling.

Aw common The doors are a grade above Status Quo. Gonna go listen to Roadhouse Blues.

Im not singing his praises just pointing out he is not Logan/Jake Paul efforts of humanity that they are.
