    Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Video is much more my thing but despite that, I've grown tired of Instagram. Seems we creators are the ones losing in the midst of their public identity crisis. There's been so much buzz about Vero I thought I'd give it a shot. My experience has been okay. Not blown away. Not bored. Just ok. Then I saw you're video and it made me look deeper into the search and...WOW!...you're not kidding! I also found it was becoming just another distraction for me too. All of that to say, it was an easy decision for me to log-out and delete the app for now. Maybe if they put some filters in, I try it again. Or maybe in time, I forget I even had it. Appreciate your work and sharing!

A few months ago I canceled my Instagram account primarily due to everyone posting silly reels, including some serious photographers who thought they needed to post them to keep "current."

    Thanks for the insights. No matter how people feel about it it's definitely good to know in advance.
    I have two accounts there myself, one for my architectural fine art stuff and one for my documentary stuff. Not quite sure what to do with it yet, I need to focus on my websites, my "homes", first and then expand from there. But Vero as a platform and what it offers seems promising, if only you will be able to get the right audience (which of course all depends on what kind of audience you're looking for).
    Thanks again, Zdenka 🙂

    I actually did notice a few Topless pics from one photographer who had posted an edited version on Instagram. I wondered how long that would go on before someone took notice or complained. Basically at this point since they are getting so much more attention they will have to figure out how to manage the content with out destroying the growth. It will be interesting to see where it goes. I am glad that someone called it out as a lot of the other photography channels I've watched haven't mentioned it. Thank You!

    Thank you for the insight on this app. I will be happy to check it out since Instagram is dead for photography. I've always used it solely for photography, not even selfies etc. All I cared about was good pictures. I always had decent amount of likes on my photos but lately I've noticed my recent photos had very few likes. I didn't understand since I've uploaded some really good pictures. Looks like people are not using hashtags for pictures anymore. It's all about the reels which I have no interest in.

    I was actually hoping that VERO would be the place where "art" from a photography sense (read between the lines) would be celebrated and not just lumped in with other types of photos (again read between the lines) by a platform. I hadn't noticed any of the latter on the platform yet, but if it's there it's only a matter of time before the network becomes really specific in their T's and C's like other networks if the current ones are being abused by people and whilst those "creators" will move to another platform, photographers will again be searching for another home. I do have a hope that some of this can be stamped out early on VERO before it becomes too widespread... but then I guess there's probably such a grey area in that respect as to what constitutes art vs "non-art" I don't know how a network can approach this from a legal standpoint.

    • @thekirkf
      @thekirkf ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree with the hope that VERO is the place to showcase our art. I wish that it would be possible for VERO to limit or mark specific posts that contain nudity. It would be great if there was an option to toggle that off. While I can just skip to the next post, it would be excellent if I didn’t feel the need to. The real danger is in asking the platform to start content policing. It’s a very small jump from there to where Instagram is now.
      And while I love the inspiration from other photographers, I think there is a desire that we all share to have our art viewed and appreciated outside the photography community. Not sure if VERO is the place for that or what dangers come from opening it up to be that place.

    Honestly, this has tended to be a problem since almost the earliest days of the internet. From where I sit, I find far worse things online than nudity. Many platforms are nothing much more than cesspools. Scams are all over the place. In fact, video games and pornography are almost single handedly responsible for much of the gains in technology and growth/ development of the web. I have even had issues where I was lured into a Zoom room, only to find that the presenter was talking their clothes off and not involved in presenting tech solutions. I will be getting an account in Vero and I don’t suspect it will be of any issue to me, as I will simply click off anything I find objectionable and block when necessary.

    Wow. Thanks for the heads up. My kids are now young adults, so I have less to worry about than you. Still, I find this a bit unsettling. I hate the notion that such a great platform could potentially host such a dark underbelly. There are more than enough p@rn sites in the world. I'm a bit disappointed that the developers either didn't think this through clearly enough or are ignoring it. I'm brand new on the app, but already thoroughly enjoying it and starting to connect with other photographers. I hope this gets addressed.
    Thanks so much for sharing you honest thoughts about this.
    Take care!

    Thank you for your honesty ❤ I also wish you could have done a bit more in-depth compensation and I feel everyone is painting Vero to be better but the in love feeling disappeared quite quickly for me. Vero is nice but not so nice 😉 plus Instagram was meant for everyone, but photographers very quickly thought it were their app, which is not correct. Plus no one is talking about the abuse the users have done over the years to Instagram..... Everything is Instagram's fault but the user have been a big part of why it is the way it is 😉

      @@ZdenkaDarula I am not sure I am against a fee. Being free seems to be at the root of many issues on social media. They have become platforms to promote outrage so the platform can get more views and that doesn't help anyone. It just keeps so many in a constant state of anger. If there were fees the incentives for the platform would change.
      Of course, it is impossible to know how things will turn out as there is such an incentive to just crank up views regardless of the harm it does.
      I would love to see a company reduce the harm and keep as much of the good aspects of social media, but I am afraid that won't be possible without changing the users something.

    Interesting take, I actually signed up last week after seeing so many friends and photographers buzzing about it. I didn't know this kind of content existed on there but I also wasn't looking for it... I think having "artistic" material in that realm but not the other type would be VERY difficult because who decides and where would the manpower be to enforce it. Another interesting note, I think videos like yours will actually make people aware it's there and likely many will seek it out... I totally believe a way to filter content so that's not seen by your kids or even yourself if you don't want to see it come up in searches is totally a valid point. On the other hand, I'd say most minors already have seen so much content like that it's just part of our society now. Many children understand the tech FAR more than their parents so it can be difficult unless you want to really learn how to restrict this to the degree of not letting them hang out with friends (who will likely show them on their phones). But that's a whole other conversation, having open communication with your children is imho the most important factor of all, you can never shield them totally but if they come to you and trust you a lot of this isn't a problem. Thanks for your honest video, not sure why it came up in my feed but I'm going to subscribe.

    The presence of pornography isn't a major issue for me. There's pornography on Flickr, too, but I rarely see any of it because I don't go looking for it.

I've registered with Vero, but probably won't start using it until the Windows app matures.

    Isn't this a problem with pretty much every social media app out there? I feel like anyone looking for such photos is going to find them, whether on Vero or elsewhere. I have been using Vero for a bit and have never come across an inappropriate picture and didn't even realize there were any on the app until I watched this video. But as a parent, I am cautious with my child having access to any social media because they all pose this exact problem unfortunately.

    I’m on VERO and Twitter and Insta, but I’ve been postin to VERO and Twitter more and less to Insta. Facebook posts a copy of my Insta posts automatically. I focus on photography searches on VERO and have yet to see questionable photos. It seems to me that all the platforms are similar and the trouble with Social Media is you have to be social. Which takes time away from photography.
    One last point. On VERO I only post black and white photos. They are my favorite and the work I enjoy the most. So I’ve made VERO for my own satisfaction and to share the story behind my photos.

    (I wonder if it got mentioned in some viral tiktok, since that's where this sort of virality starts from nowadays.

Or maybe Instagram has simply finally reached the point where many people have had enough and want to look elsewhere)

    This is a very informative review. Thank you so much.

People that were already following you still want to see the work you do and other people will still find your photography work. Also, many photographers would use the "slides" to post more photos, this now can be used as a video and have the same effect. I still like Instagram and I have been lucky to attract only what resonates with me. ☺
