Hello Civitchans!!
A mutual follower came up with a question recently. How could he gain more Buzz?
In fact, he wanted to know how he could get more Tips from me. But he was more discreet, so to speak.
I've been distributing Tips for a while now. NO, I DON'T have unlimited Buzz, but I believe in the concept of prosperity - if you circulate what you have, it generates more for everyone. Also, I'm so busy recently, that I can't sit and make my own gens, so, looking great gens is a way to enjoy a free time avoiding burnout. 😄😄😄
Every day I usually spend around 1 to 2 K buzz on tips. There may have been days when I spent 5K on tips. 😅😅😅
I usually give 10 buzzes to images that I think are cute and have not been generated in Civitai and 20 buzzes to those that have been generated in Civitai.
As I like the image more the value goes up, 30 buzz for an image that I found more creative, 40 buzz for an image that I was curious to see the prompt for, 50 buzz for that image that I look at and think "that's really good", 100 buzz for that image that I find myself admiring, 150 buzz for that image that I think "fantastic" and 500 buzz for that image that really blows me away.
I know, I know, it's very subjective, isn't it? But I'll give you some parameters.
My Buzz isn't unlimited, so it's obvious that images generated using my models, especially the ONE FOR ALL «Pony Fantasy» DPO+VAE - v 2.0 DPO, are prioritised, not least because they're easier for me to find, since I visit my models' galleries every day, so it's obvious (not least because of the very concept of prosperity, right?);
The Furry community has always given me a lot of support, so it's only fair that I give more attention to those who have always supported me, so Furry images have priority;
The first thing I see in a picture is always the eyes. Blurred or distorted eyes (that aren't deliberate) end up breaking my interest;
In the case of Furry images, I tend to value realistic ones more, and in this case, the fur has a lot of impact. The silkier, fluffier, livelier and more realistic, the higher the tip;
The composition. I don't care if the image has a background or not, but the composition makes a big difference;
The prompt and the image match or it was a random. Some randoms are amazing, there's no denying that. But hey, who doesn't marvel at well-done prompt engineering that creates an incredible result?
NSFW or SFW? Whatever. Honestly, I love creative and artistic images. Whether they're SFW or NSFW, furry or not, anime or realistic, abstract or not;
Another thing, sometimes I start giving tips in sequence, but then the number of tips and the amount decreases, why? Because it gets boring and repetitive. Imagine having ice cream, the same flavour, four times a day, every day. One day, just looking at the ice cream will make you sick. Creativity is always the key, isn't it?
What I don't see and therefore will never get a tip from me? Gore, Futa, gratuitous violence and deformation etc. Everyone has their own tastes and preferences, I don't judge, I just don't like it, if I don't like it there's no point in encouraging what I don't like with tips, is there?
OK, that's it, I know that 10, 50, 150 buzz isn't much, but I think it helps, right? A LoRA costs an average of 600 buzz to make here in Civitai, so getting 50 buzz for 1 image doesn't seem so bad to me, but that's up to everyone.
Instead of making a picture with a "NEED BUZZ" sign, you could try making a picture that generates some tip.
Ah, if you win a tip and would like to say thank you, please do so in a message rather than a comment on the image, I'd appreciate it.
See ya.
