Thanks for this—you are absolutely correct. I had no idea it was from a subscription feed when I saw it.

ironstrangle.bsky.social•41 days ago

I definitely want to subscribe when it’s more financially feasible.

I think most people didn’t know where it came from thankfully!

alexis44.bsky.social•41 days ago

Nooooo, sharing exclusive content like this is quite shitty!

sewlikes.bsky.social•41 days ago

Right?? Why do people have to be *that* asshole? This is why we can't have nice things...

dideveryonegetcake.bsky.social•41 days ago

DO: post the link to vico’s patreon so i can subscribe immediately

piratecaptains.bsky.social•41 days ago

Ahhh, I didn't know where it was from!! Good to know, thank you!

gentleblahaj.bsky.social•41 days ago

it seems like a lot of people don’t know so it’s being shared pretty widely which is such a bummer:(

korps.bsky.social•41 days ago

Including sources when posting things should always be encouraged too!!!!! Let's not revert back to the "credit to artist" laziness of tumblr/weheartit days of olde 🙏

gentleblahaj.bsky.social•41 days ago

YEAH like how samba specifically asked us to credit him for bts videos and photos but people still don’t 🙃

petrichorca.bsky.social•41 days ago

I appreciate the context because I initially thought it was a screenshot of Samba BTS content I'd just forgotten about or somehow missed :/

ramsaybaggins.bsky.social•41 days ago

I didn't know it was from there - and I think it also highlights how this fandom has a real problem with people not posting sources for stuff, because then something like this happens and we're all so used to no source (infuriatingly) that we don't know it's one that shouldn't be shared

collateralgreens.bsky.social•41 days ago

yeah the general lack of sourcing causes so many problems - not just patreon content but also people not even realizing they're reposting gifs without crediting the people who made them. or edits being treated like real photos 😬

dideveryonegetcake.bsky.social•41 days ago

yes and i literally posted asking for the source within 5 mins of it and got no reply

gentleblahaj.bsky.social•41 days ago

makes complete sense and you’re right!!!

ramsaybaggins.bsky.social•41 days ago

(I hope that makes sense)

summerlinenss.bsky.social•41 days ago

i haven’t even seen the pic in question but i will say that this is definitely something we need to work on. it’s not always malicious and i totally get that but some people REALLY gatekeep where they find photos/videos for some reason and it’s very odd behaviour

cannibalxing.bsky.social•41 days ago

By far my biggest fandom pet peeve.

orchid-explosion.bsky.social•41 days ago

I have muted people over this exact thing cause it bothers me so much 😅

orchid-explosion.bsky.social•41 days ago

(Like specifically in cases where the person was responding to some comments but not the 50 million people asking for the source until hours later, not just anyone who does this)

appleteeth.bsky.social•41 days ago

It genuinely infuriates me. Some people are acting like they need to get the "exclusive" on a new pic, video, etc, when we're all here obsessing over our blorbos! It's fun to share new information to our friends, not gatekeep it!

summerlinenss.bsky.social•41 days ago

right???? it’s so so weird to hold information over other people like it makes you More Of A Fan than them.

appleteeth.bsky.social•41 days ago

God yeah, that's it isn't it? Like the celeb has shared it with them exclusively or something 🙄

ramsaybaggins.bsky.social•41 days ago

For sure. Like sometimes the source is 'saved this three months ago and forgot where from' but you are 100% right that there are people who specifically gatekeep sources and it's annoying. I get wanting to be the first to post it or whatever, but a quick 'From [name's] IG stories' isn't hard!

ramsaybaggins.bsky.social•41 days ago

(And I've seen some bigger accounts take pics from a smaller account who has sourced it in their post, and post it without a source which is just... There's no need)

appleteeth.bsky.social•41 days ago

It's so fucking gross.

gentleblahaj.bsky.social•41 days ago

ew 🙄🙄🙄

summerlinenss.bsky.social•41 days ago

yep, had that happen to me multiple times 🫠
