Thanks/Like Button Issues

sad but true:
you must offer single caps to "sell" your vids.

Hi Dackel0401

It will change nothing, my files are hosted to oron and available on several search engines: without my approbation...

Hello,

thank you for your feedback! Here are some of my hitfile-uploads (complete filenames):

Caitlin_02072012.mkv
LucyAnne_25062012.mkv
Becky_02062012.mkv
Danni_21052012.mkv
AlexandraLouise_27042012.mkv

I wasn´t able to find one of the videos via google or another searchengine and rapidlibrary showed 0 results for each file.

Hi guys

With [Versteckter Link - Registrierung notwendig], i totalize 7 thanks for 344 downloads and to be fair, i must soustract some thanks from good friends who thank me each time i post something solid (...d...b...and m...thanks buddies) so in total i count 4 thanks for my last solid post...nice...but...nevermind...

[Versteckter Link - Registrierung notwendig][Versteckter Link - Registrierung notwendig] Exactly the same post on an other forum...

[Versteckter Link - Registrierung notwendig] now 628 downloads and... 8 thanks...one more...a torrid night to you

Second hit in my search is the rapidlibrary link to the video.

Thank you for the information! I checked the links and I´m quite sure it´s definitely the first part of the video I uploaded and shared here some time ago. If you use the rapidlibrary-link, you´ll get a "File Blocked for Violation". Very strange, but the video is still available via mediafire and can be downloaded without any problems.

I´m not happy (to say it politely) to see some of the links to my videos are available "outside". The videos I create, upload & share belong to the members of this forum (and only this forum!) It seems to me rapidlibrary is a search engine for various filehosters (incl. mediafire) and for example you can find a lot of fotomans videos listed on their pages. It could be indeed an explanation for some of the high download-numbers. As a consequence I´ll stop using mediafire for my uploads and use other filehosters. I didn´t find any hitfile-downloads via rapidlibrary-search...


@ slowfox

Thank you for your kind words and I wouldn´t consider it as a waste of time because some people don´t use the T/L-button. There is also the possibility that 85-95% of the downloaders didn´t like my videos or whatever...

I promise at least some Roshana- and Nancy-videos will be available if nobody else creates them. So, don´t worry! To edit recordings of ETV´s liveshows gives me a serious headache from time to time (very low picture quality with lots of artifacts and pixelation, constant camera-switching every 3-5 seconds, very poor camerawork, all the feet, oil, balloons, pantyhoses and so on...), but I can live with that once or twice in a week...

I´ll do my best to create some nice videos with the imho "watchable parts" and I´m not planning to "give up".

Not all downloads need to be via the forum.

Which also might partly explain the download numbers.
With Scarlet and Roshanna I don't know, but my videos of Kristina are mostly around 100, and when having a short look none >200.

When I read Dackel's summary I felt ashamed. 7,2% as the highest TL-rate! And the most downloaded clip has got the lowest TL-rate! It's a shame, a real shame!

I guess a single left mouseclick on the thanks-button (takes only one or two seconds) to express a simple „Hey, I liked your video, thanks for your time and efforts“ is too much to ask for...

hey Dackel,

that is not a new issue. That there is not much appreciation for those spending the efforts, like you, to edit video clips, is a given fact.

On the other hand this work is done voluntarily, as nobody has asked you to do so. A thanks is nice, but not compulsory. But the download figures speak for themselves that people like your vids.

However, I fully understand your point of view (been there myself), and many have given up, as seeing this as a waste of time as there is not the slightest and most simple return, be it out of courtesy or politeness.

I hope you do not give up, as at least I am appreciating your videos big time

slow

...for me is not an issue

I do not post to receive thanks, but if I get it makes me happy to share opinions with other members, and it is more interesting than receiving reputations who in the majority (not all) do not reflect a quality of posts, but just an affinity of clans (except videomakers and mods).

No worry, as you can read further below I don't do this for thanks. I just saw the extraordinary high download number and then had a look at the "Thanks" to check plausibility (normally it's somewhere around 10%, the >40% of Kristina's video are pretty unusual)
I only have a few videos with such download numbers in such a short time like Naomi's video, so I wouldn't exclude there were technical problems or the link has been shared somewhere else.

i'm a farmer and in the summer season i've no time to watch etv shows and fortunately there are a lot of videomakers recorder the show and share here in the forum (superfantastic work guys) why i don't press the thanks button for your great work?

Personally, when I downloaded a video, I press the thank button, like when I agree with a post.
But we must know why we do things.

Interesting comparison of 2 videos from last Saturday's nightshow:
Kristina+Claudia: 47 Download, 19 "Thanks"
Naomi: 384 downloads, 18 "Thanks"
But nobody complained about download problems or the video of Naomi being bad
