Should I Gloat

By ClickMore 📷, 1714118115

Recently I had a photo added as an FPI. That means that PP might use it for promotion purposes, such as Social Media. So should I Gloat? Should I boast or thank people? In my opinion, NO. It is not an achievement, it is a few people thinking the photo would be useful to PP. I am not here to collect FPI, nor am I here to beg for them. They will happen or they might not happen. I gave myself a little smile and a few people will cause the little red notification will pop up a little more today but Oscar equivalent it is not so there is no need for an award speech. And no, I won't be arguing my opinion.

But technically isn’t this post just highlighting your already highlighted FPI -ergo - boasting ? Well done on your fpi though, many say it’s not an achievement but it’s crazy the difference it makes, you can have an image in your port for a year viewed 1000 times and only have 30 likes, it hits fpi and in a day you get 300 likes it’s like people refuse to like it until PP say it’s good enough 🤣

Well done for getting an FPI, that's good and always a personal achievement as it's acknowledgement of your talent at least.

Respectfully though however, I would never have known you'd have gotten an FPI if you hadn't made me aware of it with your forum post in the first place, and would never have congratulated you if I hadn't have known :)

So in order to get what you want, perhaps you shouldn't have posted in the first place.

Yes, but despite all that you've still made 5 posts over the last 3 years to discuss how you don't gloat about FPI's...

But let's not argue 👍😂

Just a quick post asking people to ignore me, pay no attention to any of my images and all the things not to look at, please don’t look at my FPIs the most.

Here’s a link so that you can be sure to avoid looking at them accidentally.

McD is not a 'Drive Thru' it is a restaurant that has the facility to collect your Freshly Prepared Ingredients as restaurant food packaged in a thoughtful and convenient way to enjoy at home or other place of choice complete with a selection of condiments. ;)

Miss_C Looks like a case of 'inverted gloatery'

JJsPix said, 1714125146

Well, in that case, I'm not going to gloat about not getting any FPIs today.

I went to Mcd's earlier....apparently fpi win does not equal free happy meal... I was devastated they didn't recognise my digital currency of greatness
