Giphy has displayed one of my St Patrick's Day gifs on their trending page (first page)
They display a lot of my work but tell me I'm not eligible for an artists page (I have one with Tenor) ....Do you think it is because I'm white, male and old and being discriminated against 😒
@Dave Sutton Hey, that's great Dave! I'm sure they get billions of animations. I always thought that when a gif is "trending" that meant that more users are picking and downloading it above the others. So, whether it's Giphy who's making you trend, or users who are, either way, it's great publicity, and eventually they'll have to give you an artist's page. Don't lose hope!
@Craig Long When I was an Adsense TC I gave as little info about myself as possible. A lot of people thought they were losing money and would get very aggressive with you when you explained that some things they were doing were against the regulations.
So far on Giphy I have had 620 million views, so I don't think an artists channel makes much difference as I have far more views than many established artist channels
Lots of sites are cleaning out members sites. Facebook and Twitter have gotten rid of millions of bots, fake amounts, Russian accounts, etc. I suppose that when they disappeared, maybe their views into other platforms also disappeared. Some of those users were legitimate accounts, so once they're reopened, you may get some of them back again.
Early morning here so you must be up in the middle of the night. Went for a walk and missed a telephone call from my baby sister, she just left a raspberry on the answerphone.
@Dave Sutton I often wake up in the middle of the night. I stay awake for a few hours and then go back to sleep. Tell Dot she's got company. The last time I slept a full 8 hours was probably the day I was born. I was so worn out from trying to escape that I slept for 2 days solid. After that, I was always wondering what people were doing in the middle of the night while I was sleeping. It's good your little sister is still having fun at her age. 😝
@Kathy D I sleep all night long but wake up aching all over, hence a good walk blows out the cobwebs. I have to do my stretch exercises before walking otherwise I can get cramp in my legs.
@Dave Sutton That's not good. Sounds like maybe you need a new mattress. One of those foam, but supportive ones. I'm thinking of getting one myself. My stepson got one. He's got terrible arthritis and said it's made a world of difference for him.
At the moment it is not a serious problem, it's just a thing that comes with old age I suppose. It's raining outside, but it is great to see all the green stuff starting to grow, roll on Summer so that I can entertain all my girls in the garden.
Very colorful. Do you spell it colourful?
We do, but I leave the American spell check on because I speak to more people abroad than in this country

I don't know. I never get recognized except with my forum help on the Microsoft forum. In other places I am not recognized for my contributions.

Seems like this should bring in money for you?
I'm thinking the same thing that Craig is.
Sadly not much money. A Strange thing happened overnight, my view count dropped to 540 million
Oh you poor boy.
