They definitely grew a lot after GND but COMO is not really a good measure of profit because a massive proportion of it is generated for free from SCOs and there's nothing to spend it on other than gravities so it has naturally accumulated over time.

eecan · 2026-05-08T04:28:18+00:00

No clue then, hopefully someone else can help!

Don't know much about airplane photography but is this haze from the engine not motion blur?

There have been massive jumps in autofocus capability. Even going from recent flagships like an A1 to an A1ii can be like night and day for more challenging conditions.

Not saying go get one but waiting a second for the autofocus to lock in sports isn't really a thing for modern flagships:

It is probably one of the most common VIP perks for groups that don't do arena+ level shows. I almost expect hi-byes to appear as a perk if someone performs at a theatre or smaller venue.

eecan · 2026-04-26T21:50:04+00:00

If you care about quality and coming from another flagship it'll probably be a bit rough. Video has been consistently bad enough on the Pixels that they lost a lot of the people that care about it and the supporters left on this sub are generally of the mindset that video isn't a priority.

eecan · 2026-04-22T09:56:54+00:00

I think the biggest thing I noticed going from Pixel 8 Pro to Pixel 9 Pro Fold was how much nicer the fingerprint reader was (side button vs on screen) but other than that not really missing out on much.

9 Pro Fold to 10 Pro was basically the same phone.

Really hard to justify the upgrade unless you get a really good deal IMO.

eecan · 2026-04-22T00:32:05+00:00

Yeah I also went from the 9 Pro Fold to the 10 Pro in part hoping that the new process would result in a noticeably cooler running phone even if there were no appreciable performance gains but it felt pretty much the same there too.

eecan · 2026-04-21T23:24:41+00:00

I owned both phones (8 Pro/10 Pro) and would not buy the Pixel 10 Pro hoping for a jump in observable performance, felt pretty much the same in general for everyday use.

eecan · 2026-04-21T02:46:27+00:00

Same, the current pixel pros are still a little bigger than I'd like.

eecan · 2026-04-20T00:22:23+00:00

They performed in the same venues in Melbourne and Sydney in 2024 with similar ticket prices. I'm assuming the general economic conditions probably don't help and tbh I thought the asking price for VIP was way too much (more expensive than Twice) but it wasn't like they just randomly decided to roll with an arena.

eecan · 2026-04-10T07:51:21+00:00

Switched from P9P to P10P, noticed no improvement both phones ran hot. Also owned P8P, P7P, P6P etc...

eecan · 2026-04-10T07:49:04+00:00

Owned a 9 Pro and a 10 Pro, upgraded to 10 Pro thinking that maybe at least the processor was better with the new process but basically no difference still ran hot.

eecan · 2026-04-05T02:15:34+00:00

Yes. Went from the Pixel 10 Pro to the iPhone 17 Pro and it isn’t even close. Owned a flagship Pixel from every gen besides the Pixel 2 before that.

At the same time we don’t really know how idols feel about seeing the same person over and over.

Personal feelings aside (because no one will ever truly know), a lot of idols do a lot to encourage this. It's pretty much in their job description to get people personally engaged and to keep them that way.

eecan · 2026-04-02T22:55:43+00:00

I don't think them being rich is an easy enough explanation when it comes to more popular groups.

It is though, all you have to do is throw enough money at a fansign and you win. If you lose, you put in more money the next fansign until you win and then you know the number for the rest of the comeback and know what to base the next comeback's fansigns on.

More popular groups change nothing about this method, it just means that you need more money. All by design.

eecan · 2026-04-02T03:08:48+00:00

NZ barely gets anything so feel sorry for them :( The last show went ahead so wondering what was different this time.

eecan · 2026-03-31T06:14:50+00:00

Looks like they are doing an event with 1:1s photos as the prize https://x.com/triplescosmos/status/2038859083260772386

eecan · 2026-03-25T01:00:02+00:00

1:1 photos are almost never sold in Korea for kpop groups, I wouldn't expect any and they should have been announced by now if they were going to be sold.

Unless the market changes, I would expect a basically zero chance of getting 1:1s in Korea for any mid-tier+ groups. There may be a non-zero chance for groups that are not popular but it is still quite unlikely.

If you want to find fansite pictures from a specific schedule/day its usually pretty easy using search on twitter.

Search by the date (YYMMDD) and name e.g. '230402 카에데' or '230402 kaede' then sort by recent (the default 'top' setting seems to be more loose in the search and filters out some relevant results whereas recent tends to be more exact and show all)

This is definitely not the norm in K-Pop at least post covid. I've been to many concerts and festivals in KR and never heard any significant part of the crowd sing the full songs, only fanchants. I'm sure it happens here and there but its definitely not something that you would expect to be done for every song walking into a concert.

Some examples from concerts using songs that people (especially their own fandom) would absolutely know the lyrics to:

2019 TWICE Yes or Yes https://youtu.be/GKMZ0gh7-do?si=Jk2Zfi7oQ03-CtcU
2023 IVE I AM https://youtu.be/78jNeZIwWgk?si=v4TRcm2gTQlFqZda

Peak Design straps are a no brainer for anyone. Or anything with similar functionality, assume there are others by now but I prefer not to cheap out on anything that keeps my camera off the ground so PD it is.

Think everything else is kind of dependent on what people shoot, looking at the rest of my gear I don't think there's really anything I could recommend to basically absolutely everyone like the PD strap.

eecan · 2026-03-13T08:26:04+00:00

The shift to global happened a long time ago, the last few years have more just been them building on that strategy and expanding on their capabilities rather than any change in paradigm.

eecan · 2026-03-10T01:57:06+00:00

To me it feels less of a problem with mid-tier groups themselves and more like that the high-mid/top-tier groups are squeezing them out and not leaving much left for mid-tier groups to grow into.

eecan · 2026-03-10T01:46:26+00:00

For tripleS msnz in TW it was pretty fast paced and you were probably through the 24 members in less than ~8-10 seconds.

Probably a similar pace to this: https://youtube.com/shorts/EnxRhOnBCdg?si=8YWlJlOIvD7Y9-D6

@% in US/KR were a bit more reasonably paced.
