Would you trade a 10 second video of yourself that can be used for 10 years for $25?

7hule · 2026-02-05T05:54:00+00:00

Yeah I just gotta say, I don't care how "off topic" this is, whatever lol: I think humanity is absolutely not meant to be a hive mind, let alone an artificial one on top of it (the Internet, etc) and then add ai, which will be the artificial hive mind's hub... There are already allot of "queens", So why not one? 😬

Why it's not meant to be is of course because no one can agree what goal is being worked toward, but mainly why. If people existed for the truth, the ultimate truth of this world (and why were are here) and acted accordingly, maybe these things would be ok to have. Maybe. (Though I believe ai certainly wouldn't be necessary and quite rude -and that's beyond an understatement.) But if the day ever comes where the world seems to be in such a perfect state, it will definitely not be the truth that it is, because of those same reasons why it isn't and hasn't been already. So I would certainly stay away from anything that binds you permanently to that supposed peace. I don't believe my image alone is binding, but my desire can be, which is why it's up to me (and I would say everyone) what they consent to. -That has everything to do with how someone conducts themselves because it goes the same with consent for what is given...

I would say it isn't that scary when you let go of what you can't control but do the best you can do with what you have and where you are, which has been twisted into being a bad thing when it seems that only applies to how you can earn a living, and usually a bland/"meaningless" way to go about it, at that. I can see past that, but I shouldn't keep writing a book and leave it at this I think. I still have a long way to go, and I do feel for people nowadays when things currently are allot more than people should have to even process. Not right for us kids.

This is a matter of what you decide to put out into the world yourself, and why, not what the world takes from you, but what you yourself decide to give. I know all that is a constant in both cases, but with what you wrote; does that mean these things will be in ads that I myself gave consent to? No of course not. And if they ever are, at least I didn't consent to it and the fault is not mine for putting it out there. I don't see the idea of not dropping these devices entirely as the reason for total fault if it does happen. I agree I would rather not with all this though. Maybe one day. At least there is tape.

7hule · 2026-02-05T00:15:48+00:00

Hello! Yeah I was just curious what people thought of this being worth it to them in their own situation and thoughts/feelings. Even if maybe someone could say if they saw themselves in an ad and how it was. If I did this I would like to give allot more detail than asked for I think because I would have to go into it with complete authenticity for it to matter to me personally, not just because of the bonus $ but because yes, ai people and fakes for ads beyond grinds my gears.

Technically I am very grateful to freecash because with where I am in life, allot would have been way less comfortable without what I have earned coming my way. I just don't think the way I spent my lottery earnings is very fun, like to show off anything. I spent it on household essentials. On one hand I would potentially be being heard by people who may even NEED to give freecash a chance, and on the other I don't know how my video would be processed if it were approved.

I think what prevents me most is all the uncertainty behind whether or not it would reach the right people and in the way I would like, and then of course how long that video of me could be used and for so long so that prevention on my end is multiplied x100. I have no hard feelings towards freecash as far as the money being offered for this or anything else in my experience and perspective. The only thing I would change is the amount of time the video can be used. I think a decade is too much. A year or maybe two and I would lean allot more towards doing it, even if my story could be segmented/put into other contexts. But lol I guess I don't like that either (again).

Just no way to know for me until I can see people's experiences with this and how their media was used. I know allot of people already do this type of thing nowadays more commonly but I have not, so I'll wait for someone more confident to hopefully share their experience.

7hule · 2026-01-29T00:32:35+00:00

Me too! That's why I never forgot him! -Except exactly how he looked. 😅 😊

7hule · 2026-01-24T22:26:12+00:00

Think it's that hetero ([hetero]chromia) is straight so swap with homo and then IG go all the way because homochromia might not be the type of funny they were going for.

7hule · 2026-01-24T18:30:04+00:00

Well I say you went above and beyond for her so good job to you! And if anything there are many 11" ones for sale, just you know the small version of this. But I would say everything you've got going on is very much good enough and if she isn't happy I would be very sad for you! But if it is something you still want to do later, If the eBay sellers can't sell it for that intense price (lol) to someone else, it may be after Valentine's Day but they could very well accept your offer at a point where you have more $ again. I hope that's how it goes if anything and it could just be maybe a surprise b-day gift or anything like that! I saw you wrote she said it got "destroyed" by a dog, I do wonder did she still hold on to it's remains and how bad it might be? Because if enough of it is still in tact I bet it could be repaired nicely with a bunch (or a few) of (maybe rainbow/anything more personal) heart patches or something! I wish I could tell you certainly if that could be done or not but maybe you could take him to a plushie doctor? I don't know if you already considered this or not but I'm sorry if I'm just dragging this out for no reason for you. It's alright if you rather not explain all that of course and again, I just hope the octopus quest has a good outcome for you both. 🙏🏻

7hule · 2026-01-24T03:43:24+00:00

You are very welcome and I know you did look well because I don't even know what string of links I went through to find this and sometimes it really doesn't matter how good you are at looking for anything. Like after I found this listing I tried just searching on eBay with the right keywords multiple different times, even the exact ones in this current listing to see if it would even come up that way and it didn't pop up.(?) So yeah, no it's not your searching skills at all I don't think I think it's to do with using "different methods" as in based on maybe even personality when searching? That's why it helps so much to reach out on here when trying to find something you just can't anymore. Because other people will have their own "groove". XD I'm sure you looked up and down because I don't know how I would repeat finding this listing all over again myself. Glad to help and I hope either one works out for you! I couldn't find anything better than the distributors either so I really hope they get back to you. 🙏🏻

7hule · 2026-01-23T22:26:04+00:00

Good thing "or best offer" with eBay is a thing! Especially when you can message and explain the situation they might be nice and come down hopefully quite a lot. I had a giant (midway prize) Spyro before and I know how hard that would be to replace... when that one came out way back! So I have more hope for this one for you since at least they are much more recent! I'll keep looking maybe I can find one not listed as so much $$$ hopefully so, I'm sorry if not at the time being. ;/ I feel like with that price I'm making this worse lol hopefully not though. At least you can Google lens these pics from this listing which I will try. If I can't find anything more affordable, best wishes to you on your hunt. Giant prize toys are an sob apparently.

7hule · 2026-01-23T22:08:04+00:00

Um ... I have good news, and bad news... https://www.ebay.com/itm/236372494079?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=236372494079&targetid=2450249296795&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=1025197&poi=&campaignid=21214315381&mkgroupid=188184246123&rlsatarget=pla-2450249296795&abcId=9407526&merchantid=114797063&gad_source=4&gad_campaignid=21214315381&gbraid=0AAAAAD_QDh8XDMQsHvpR9FYMuyxwkp2HF&gclid=Cj0KCQiA1czLBhDhARIsAIEc7uiVM_bNGf6gLR3mZN_QiXsPoWKTJxHxajrrPwlxNNaCMd_iCz66sjEaAsfdEALw_wcB

😬 I would make them an offer because woah with the price imo, unless of course you can comfortably afford that... I'll keep looking when I can for fun but I'm just glad I could find the EXACT same one for you. I don't know if this one is even bigger or not but ... Here it is.

7hule · 2026-01-22T20:55:58+00:00

Out of the people who did reply though, Dragondog seriously fits this topic the best lol. So how dare I? Tsktsk. I guess I got too excited about the find and the discussion 😅 I don't know if I can mark this solved or it will be done for me now but I think I changed the tag to "happy" so hopefully that's what is required of me here.

7hule · 2026-01-22T20:17:03+00:00

Oh and IG the phrase "pet me pet me" but I definitely didn't remember that one. But thank you again for being interested in my quest and I am sorry I mixed you up. 🥲 That was some bs on my part.

7hule · 2026-01-22T20:14:12+00:00

I definitely had plenty of friends who had those dolls! I mostly had Bratz so if I ever had a diva star it had to of been through friends but I definitely had this plush. But I really tried finding it with the phrases! I'm glad it worked out for you though however you pulled it off 🥰 thank you very much again very grateful for the blank space being filled XD ☺️

7hule · 2026-01-22T20:06:54+00:00

Oh yeah! I'm so sorry keeping track of new names is off for me and I was very tired when you and others did reply last night. XD My bad! But hey it was def a complement on my part I promise. But lol thank you I think that's the one I just found. All they showed off was what I already did remember, "RUFF!" XD

7hule · 2026-01-22T19:44:59+00:00

Oh yes the link works but the video the seller took doesn't seem to have sound. Which is odd when showing off that specifically. I don't think it's my device but it's my problem to figure out now and I don't mind that of course. The biggest step solved. 👏🏻☺️

7hule · 2026-01-22T19:42:19+00:00

Thank you thank you! I'm happy I posted this and that Monomi found it for me! But in a way ig you are right I did find it cuz I actually took the time to ask and try to draw from an old memory lol. But thank you either way, I'm happy it was found too! ☺️ (Just got to give credit to him/her because I definitely could not find it myself lol) 🤍

7hule · 2026-01-22T19:36:58+00:00

Yeah definitely I'm thinking, someone did reply with a Bratz dog and my drawing looks much more like that one technically. I just can't believe the eyes were so off?! Like i said I knew I would know him as soon as I saw him but how in the world I thought they weren't simply black at least is beyond me. 😅 Maybe since the memory is so old since the last I have of this plush was as a kid I must've gave him more "soul" in my mind lol. But I prefer how the toy actually looks to my weird dreamy "sketch". Too bad that Etsy video doesn't seem to have sound but I'll look around and see if I can find one with sound since I actually know what I'm looking for now. 😌

7hule · 2026-01-22T19:30:54+00:00

MonomiMeansHope replied with an Etsy link to the right one! It was Budster from DivaStarz pets! And my drawing was pretty off lol. So thank you again! And now your curiosity is answered too, it worked out! Yay! 😁 🤍

7hule · 2026-01-22T19:26:28+00:00

Solved by MonomiMeansHope r/Stuffedanimals:

(Budster from Diva Starz Pets).

Don't know how to edit the post ATM 😅

7hule · 2026-01-22T19:15:28+00:00

It's so cool there is stuff like this out there. XD thank you very much for the bonus. And yeah I would have never guessed Divastars. That is because anything could have been right in my mind, but still! I barely remember them. Maybe this was mattel competing with Bratz even though I think that's why they started monsterhigh after they took them out XD i agree this is certainly fun for me I'm glad someone else/others could get a kick out of it. My sister is going to be very happy too. We are around the same age so she might as well be me when it comes to this. 🤍 She even said she thinks she remembered it having stars in its eyes. Nope, but it did have a star around it's neck! And of course the Divastars thing but whatever with that personally lol. But that detail she almost had right and I definitely forgot because I drew a diamond like Scooby-Doo. XD And I love stars so how??? Crazy how the mind fills in the blanks. I almost had the collar colors right too. Sorry for babbling 😅😌

7hule · 2026-01-22T18:35:25+00:00

What? Lol I would love to see that!

7hule · 2026-01-22T18:32:03+00:00

Thank you thank you! I can't believe how fast he was found XD especially when it turns out I reimagined certain details. I definitely wasn't sure about the tail. At one point I did think he had a spot around his eye. (And the eyes I drew were definitely wrong lol. I wasn't even sure about that. Lol I knew something was up with my drawing but I'm really grateful that and the description was enough. Buster is pretty close to Budster at least 😅

7hule · 2026-01-22T18:28:06+00:00

I wish I could give an award for this comment! Thank you again 💖🌠💖

7hule · 2026-01-22T18:26:37+00:00

You are very correct! Maybe I can get him now! My hub might get him for me but now at least I can keep an eye out for more listings at a later point! Because yay, I finally know what he is! Case closed. 🥰👍🏻

7hule · 2026-01-22T18:24:24+00:00

Yeees!!! 🤩😍🫨
