Social Media Girls

Thank you for the detailed review! I will be making changes to appease issues brought up here, and work on the features requested. Regarding the payment method or the fact that it needs to be behind a paywall, I’ve just added clear instructions in the site on how to get bitcoin to access the site. Keep in mind that payments are used to upgrade the process and keep the site running while keeping it add free. The site has been growing so much thanks to both free users making requests and paid users allowing me to buy more hardware for upcoming features and helping me keeping up with costs related to just have it on the net. I am happy to say that there are currently over 2000 profiles available to se been so far, and it’s growing every day! Regarding the queue, it automatically reorders it in a way that prioritizes different things, depending on the time of day. Things like the amount of requests a profile gets by users, amount of time elapsed since the request was made, easiest to complete etc… right now it’s just trying to catch up. Regarding the difference in images and numbers shown, the images were fetched and currently uploading. I’ve already done some upgrades that did shave down on the time it takes to upload by a decent margin, and it’s slowly catching up to upload everything that needs uploading.
Stay tuned for the features! I also have a support and suggestions tab on the site for any user that would like a feature to be added or need any sort of help, I answer to everyone as fast as I can.

Love to hear all that!

I want to make certain I clarify that I don’t see the bitcoin payment or the price as a problem that needs fixing, just acknowledging overall that it unfortunately will prevent some people from accessing the site. I do think both of those are necessary for exactly the reasons you gave (among others), even if those will create some hurdles for people. I think the added guide on getting bitcoin will be very helpful!

Ahhhh, that makes sense on the numbers not lining up! I thought it might be something like that but truly had no idea for certain.

I did remember one other thing I forgot to add which is more reflective of an issue with Reddit - I’d advise anyone who is really invested in particular profiles not to live and die by the nsfw filter. As anyone who has spent time on Reddit could attest to, sometimes that label is applied where it doesn’t belong or left off of posts where it absolutely applies. The filter is excellent if you’re scanning through larger profiles or profiles that are new to you, but if you’re really wanting to make sure you get everything from a specific profile and don’t want to just download the whole folder, then you’ll want to sift through all the posts and not just the ones tagged nsfw.

Genuinely so excited to hear about how much the site has already grown and greatly looking forward to how you direct it in the future! Just incredible work. I’m consistently blown away every time I check it out.

I haven’t subbed yet I’ll do it out of principle when the previews are implemented, the reason I subbed to gwa for the record was the blurred thumbnails. Psychologically it’s very different than just seeing a number of posts so I believe wholeheartedly it’s a solid business move to add previews.

As for the BTC requirement, to anyone who’s on the fence I made a MoonPay account in like 10 minutes and it was extremely smooth sailing. Not any more difficult than ordering something directly with your credit card. If there’s a way to make that clear to people it would go a long way but I understand that’s a tough thing to do.

i believe the previews have been implemented already, unblurred. since the process sometimes only pulls blurred previews from reddit due to them being the last remaining copy of a post, it didn't seem proper to do in the same way GWA does it. that being said, you do need an account to naviate, but signing up is free and gets you to request any profile, which starts watching for new posts straight away. So in a way, the service is already doing work in advance for free users right off the bat. i also took the liberty in adding multiple profiles of interest to have the archieve a bit more complete.
that being said, if the way i am doing the previews right now can be improved in some way, I will take the suggestion! development has slowed down a bit due to me being incredibly busy with my studies at the moment but I still do maintenance and development pretty much every day.
