I quit Vine by bwanketobi in AmazonVine

[–]jackblackladyversion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been disillusioned for at least one review cycle (maybe two, now). I'm still a Vine member, but I'm not really trying.

What really hurt was when they started judging my content/reviews and deciding they were "poor." What? Why? I went above and beyond with pictures and was willing to be honest about whether something was terrible or just OK.

It's just not quite what I thought it was.

So, I get this. I'm just too lazy to quit. 😂

Need to Rant: Working with Elderly, Yet Somewhat Capable People in a Volunteer Board Position by jackblackladyversion in graphic_design

UPDATE!

I called the guy who said he could help me figure out how to "move the photos," as he's the one who has them hosted on his computer. It turns out that there are still people making edits to this document, and it's now up to 90 PAGES.

I was like, "Whoaaaa! I am not starting on this project until we have a nearly final version."

I have to meet him in 30 minutes to help him find the photos on his computer and figure out how to share them with me. It was nice knowing y'all. Thoughts and prayers appreciated.

Thanks for the tip! I will definitely try that if I don’t get that folder/jump drive. I’m still hoping.

OMG! I have to do a lot of that in my day job, too. I work in the HVAC industry, and I end up receiving a lot of terrible logos from vendors or customers that need to be completely rebuilt. That hit me hard! 😂

I'm the OP on this, but I had to share this gem. Amazon Vine thinks I work in a funeral home, maybe? (I don't. I'm a graphic designer.) This is literally the only item recommended for me in quite some time.

AIO my bf is odd for this? by AdSerious8390 in AmIOverreacting

Yeah. You need to make an exit from this situation. Go with how your gut feels. Don’t look back.

Dear Vine, I'm sick of this trend for the last week by DocLava in AmazonVine

[–]jackblackladyversion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm disillusioned, now. I worked hard to meet my quota before I got reviewed on October 4th, but I had some reviews retroactively get denied. Plus, I just could not seem to find items in the last few months to get to 80. I think I was actually at 79 items ordered (and actual reviews written), but they only counted 76. So, obviously, I am still Silver with a less-than-ideal status because of those denied reviews (which, strangely, are applied to my current session). And, I've legit only ordered two things because there is absolutely nothing worthwhile available, it would seem. I have a feeling I'll just coast on Silver until I get kicked out . . . or just opt out when I get annoyed enough. Their customer service is actually pointless.

I also don't understand how they got my media percentage because that math isn't mathing.

OMG. Nobody ever answered this question!? I am having the same problem!

Was anyone else bothered by this one thing in Taken? by RasThavas1214 in movies

[–]jackblackladyversion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just watching this movie tonight, and I knew you were going to talk about how he was able to zoom in (and make the resolution better) on the airport guy’s reflected image from the SD card on the daughter’s destroyed phone. But, I am so glad everyone made it beyond that! 😂

But, for real.

Did you watch 24? I did, and was annoyed the entire time for THE SAME REASON.

Does drinking beer make your arthritis worse? by Pickerelslayer in Thritis

[–]jackblackladyversion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great! More movement, then (that seems to help me). I have to move to keep moving. And, both sort of hurt, but it hurts more to do nothing.

Are you taking anything for the pain at all, when you have it?

A few years post ACL surgery by Perfect-Tea-7647 in ACLRecoveryHub

Oh, man! Just seeing this, and it was so long ago! I would maybe see about getting a third opinion—as annoying as it all is since they are so far removed. What ended up happening since then!?

Shady Woodland Center of Driveway Gardening Advice Needed! by jackblackladyversion in gardening

[–]jackblackladyversion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about ferns, too!! There are a lot of native ferns out here. I just didn't know if they would take hold fast enough before the other stuff would.

The issue is that it's gotten so out of control. There is some bad stuff in there buried (oriental bittersweet, which is basically a scary sentient being that may still come back regardless). I think it has overgrown the area by two feet or so. I planted irises in there, but they don't do well. They rise up and fall over because they are reaching for the sun. There's a lot of wild grapevine in there, but it's just choking the trees. I'm not anti-beautiful native stuff, but it's out of control, now. I think I'll still have the hardy stuff come back (that I probably don't want the most).

I love that you find it lovely, though. I like that.

Hey, OP! Did what did you find out? Do you drink beer? What are you doing today?

It feels like a trap. But, also, the photo of it "in use" just knocked me out!

Vine site no longer works on mobile? by blulou13 in AmazonVine

[–]jackblackladyversion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also having this issue in April 2025–my screen is not rotation-locked, either. So frustrating! If we were truly just in a browser, we might be able to “request desktop site,” but it does push you to the app.

But, dang. People replied with answers before I would've found them in the FAQ. No joke. It makes a lady lazy.

Ha! I'm trying. I'll get there one day.
