I’m well fucking aware of what Exif data is. I’m also well fucking aware that it’s stripped from my photos when they’re uploaded. This doesn’t matter and has no bearing on my concern, which is that some part of your crypto bullshit ecosystem requires me to verify my gear information with you so you can verify my ownership of my images. In the context of your other projects this reeks of data hoarding, not a legitimate means of establishing ownership.
No, it’s not that simple to see your terms of service given that the page you linked me to says that I have to login. Only by clicking on the login link do you finally see a ToS page. Go there and you’re on a page where the hyperlinks to various sections are completely broken and try to take you to https://html.onlineviewer.net. BE MORE COMPETENT. As I said, I’ll be more than happy to take your money to proofread, technically write, and generally unfuck all of the mistakes across all of your websites… including the one where you disallow copying and pasting from the terms of service.
Why? Why do you not want me to paste the fact that users can’t “Disparage, tarnish, or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and/or the Services?” So you want to shut down any and all criticism, as is clear by you acting like an absolute fool trying to defend your minimum viable product. Luckily it’s easy to get around bullshit copy/paste restrictions so everyone here can see things like this:
By posting your Contributions to any part of the Services, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to us an unrestricted, unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, fully-paid, worldwide right, and license to host, use, copy, reproduce, disclose, sell, resell, publish, broadcast, retitle, archive, store, cache, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, transmit, excerpt (in whole or in part), and distribute such Contributions (including, without limitation, your image and voice) for any purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise, and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such Contributions, and grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing. The use and distribution may occur in any media formats and through any media channels.
This is the type of onerous horseshit that much more competent companies than you have had to walk back time and time again. It is one thing to grant a license for usage within the confines of your site. We do, after all, have to give you permission to host and serve our content. There is no issue with that. The issue is that you’re asking for permission to use our images in any way you see fit. THIS IS NOT A LICENSE ANYONE SHOULD BE AGREEING TO, especially if they aren’t interested in the crypto blockchain horseshit company dropping the images they slurp up into their AI models.
Anyone reading this should make the assumption that your real goal is precisely what I stated. Create a minimum viable product (some image storage garbage), attach it to proven VC fodder buzzwords (blockchain, cloud, crypto, AI), wait a couple of years, and hopefully bullshit your way into a sizable IPO. Lampshading your VC bait by calling out how long it’s taken you to create just makes you look shitty at VC bait, not like a legitimate business with a product that anyone would want to use.
You want to improve based on feedback? Here you are.
Stop hiding your terms of service. If I go to a page that tells me I have to login to access it I’m going to assume someone else, you know like the person that was here handing out beta logins, has to give me a login before I can see anything. Your landing page is trash and is obfuscating your ToS. Put the link to them on there, then unfuck the ToS page so it doesn’t link to a random website.
This may be the most important one: PROVIDE EVERYONE HERE WITH A CLEAR AS FUCKING DAY, NO BULLSHIT, OUTLINE FOR HOW YOU ARE GOING TO USE OUR FUCKING DATA THEN AMEND YOUR ToS TO REFLECT THAT USE CASE. Without this being set in stone your words here (and anywhere) are utterly worthless.
Cut all of the buzzword horseshit out of your product pages. Tell people what the fucking thing does AND PROVIDE EXAMPLES rather than just assert blockchain crypto NFT synergy.
I can be a snarky asshole because I neither accepted your garbage ToS nor represent anyone but my own dumb ass. You are here to sell a product. Act like you actually give a shit about it more than you give a shit about being a douchebag. Being a snarky asshole gets you nowhere when you’re responding to valid fucking criticism. You’re not Elon Musk. You will never be Elon Musk. Stop acting like an Elon Musk.
Stop acting like everyone here is too fucking stupid to see how your products work together. There are quite a few of us here that are more than familiar with NFT, crypto, and blockchain bullshittery. What you’ve done is take and split everything off into separate component pieces and renamed them. We are not goddamn morons. You’re talking to a group of people that can run command lines thirty pipes deep. Weaving disparate vaguely related programs together is what we fucking do.
Now sod off and whine about how you don’t like the tone of this so you won’t respond.
What somewhat discourages me from responding to the above is not so much your tone of voice, but rather seeing that you’re not paying much attention to what you’re reading.
So, I’ll be brief.
The current ToS indeed fall short, as I mentioned earlier, and they will be changed. I appreciate you highlighting this issue and your frustration about this is entirely justified. The current template doesn’t align with our approach to data handling and is, quite frankly, not up to the mark.
The rest of your comments seem to be rooted in your subjective take on what you generalize as “crypto” and appear to have little to do with the project at hand. You are simply dismissing the facts I clearly laid out in my initial response.
Of course, you have every right to be a snarky asshole, and the internet is filled with such individuals, mostly anonymous, with plenty of time on their hands and, perhaps, a lack of better things to do. So, go ahead and have fun.
Your utterly dismissive tone should indicate to everyone precisely what kind of shit-tier company you’re involved with.
I have more than paid attention which is why I can see what your scam-ass bullshit company is doing.
Get people onboard with Macula, a gateway to a distributed file hosting network that lets you do oh-so-amazing things like send basic transform information in a link. You know, like HTML from a server but on a lot of servers like a torrent. (yes, I’m doing Star Trek explanations here)
Integrate that usage with Kelp, your method of creating a unique identifier for an image to ostensibly serve as a copyright notice.
Anagolay is a peer-to-peer network that stores records of Rights, Restrictions, and Proofs of any digital content. It empowers the users to store, claim, sell, and rent their work with the correct transfer of Rights and usage of Licenses.
In other words, NFT horseshit with a veil of “not an NFT, bro.”
Profit at every step of the way, which is fine. That’s what business do.
At no point have you clearly laid out anything that contradicts what I have said. Your statements have been deliberate obfuscation of the actual questions I have asked.
For example, I’m still waiting on an answer to what exactly you intend to do with OUR FUCKING DATA. Just saying your ToS “doesn’t align with our approach to data handling” does not fucking cut it when YOU ALREADY HAVE A BETA PRODUCT PEOPLE ARE USING. Literally everything you have said and done indicates you do not actually give a shit about any portion of your company except the part that will be generating your NFT trash market.
Your company is supposed to be entirely about rights management and you can’t even clearly define how you are managing our data.
Is it hard to walk in clown shoes, or do you get used to it?
