Hi Everyone,
Hope everything is going well in your neck of the woods.
I was recently surfing the tube as cool guys like me would say, when I suddenly noticed a thumbnail that looked oddly familiar.
One of the channels I am subscribed to ,Gameranx, had posted a video detailing GTA 6 changes that may have been leaked, you can find the video below. Now what caught my attention was the fact that the thumbnail uses a sample image from one of my Lora models of the upcoming GTA 6 character, Lucia. You can find the image here https://civitai.com/images/5048139.
By the way I know it's hella weird that I knew it was mine, I have made maybe billions of images and I can still pick out mine even when they have been altered. It's a really odd and useless superpower to have.
Now just to make it clear, I am not angry about this, and in fact I am quite flattered. I'm just intrigued to say the least.
What I find interesting is that Gameranx is a pretty big channel. They are no IGN, but they have almost 8 million subscribers. The video itself has almost 800k views. That's a lot of moolah. I'm sure they have decent team of designers working for them, surely they could do better than to take a sample image and Photoshop it to a background, but then again its youtube, and I have seen worse. They also could have easily just downloaded the model and made their own thumbnails, without having to Photoshop the background, actually make it look like a screenshot.
I guess what I'm saying is, if you're reading this Gameranx, HIRE ME hehe! I can make your thumbnails! Better yet, Rockstar hire me, I don't know why, but just do it.
