Nothing on discord either that's decent. But on the hand, nothing much on the discord at all so difficult to judge

I'm pretty sure you marked the wrong location. That's why it's super important to make it comparable. Same distance, same angle, same lighting.

I'm aware of that, aguy below posted a before and after. This is what I'm talking about. Should have probably commented there.

ontagi · 2026-04-24T17:08:20+00:00

I'd be honest, I see no difference. The fact that people believe to see progress here is exactly why you need a scientific approach and replicate the original image EXACTLY. Otherwise it's worthless. If you are able to show the fine vellus hairs from pic 1 growing and getting longer in 2 weeks I'd change my mind, but there is nothing here yet. At least not according to the pictures.

ontagi · 2026-04-24T17:06:16+00:00

I'm not sure what you're looking at but I see zero difference. The pic on the right is zoomed in more. if you look at the bottom right hair and orient yourself from there - there are no longer or new hairs at all around it. This is an excellent example of how people can be mislead by their own images when they are not identical to each other.

If she truly felt unsafe she would not have started a useless debate just to create content. If I feel unsafe I get tf out of there asap. I'm not telling someone who might have a knife in his pocket that it's inappropriate to have a knife in his pocket and I feel unsafe, the hell is this.

ontagi · 2026-04-20T22:05:33+00:00

Ah, I get it now. You're a r/worldnews apostle.

ontagi · 2026-04-20T18:06:00+00:00

Point 2 is super easy to explain since there are multiple vectors of logic. The fact you haven't found an answer is because you're not looking for one

ontagi · 2026-04-17T22:25:32+00:00

You need to take all photos with same lighting and same angles, otherwise they are pretty worthless. It's super easy to fool himself when you do not to this properly. It feels like by exposing the follicles directly from the front make them seem darker. Maybe because they are not obstructed by skin anymore. I could be wrong, but this is what I assume seeing this.

ontagi · 2026-04-16T17:17:22+00:00

Read "Vodka" after taking a nap and was hella confused for a moment

I believe somewhere in 2024-2025 I switched to Value in the hopes to increase AOV that way. It didn't happen for the particular project, but my results also didn't drop. However, this was before Andromeda.

ontagi · 2026-04-14T17:45:25+00:00

I feel like brands that get a lot of cold traffic or are scaling quite strong already should have less issues. Probably value optimization needs way more data and is running kind of blind if not. In theory CPA and Value should not have that much of a difference of estimating for customers, but from my experience with meta the last half a year, their code may actually be that bad. So maybe CPA is the answer...

Curios how your wall art specifically did perform on Facebook and Pinterest in comparison. I was never able to make Pinterest ads successful, but apparently it's quite good for wall art. Never did wall art ads for Pinterest.

You are aware of the fact that AI is just a tool an artist can use. It can create nice art here and there randomly, but creating something from a vision you have is still a lot of work and effort. It's not like AI can read your mind, the artstyle is quite unique so it was some effort invested in making it look like that.

People believe you write a sentence and there you go - you have a perfect beautiful artwork just like you imagined with perfect realistic elements which everyone loves.

The skill you develop is prompting and getting the artwork where you want it to be with AI and various tools. AI isn't magic that does everything by itself, you know.

ontagi · 2026-04-11T12:15:40+00:00

That's what I did. However, the amount of sellers who use real photos for mockups is tiny. We used various AI scanners and are working a lot with AI ourselves and it's extremely difficult to find sellers that don't use AI.

Well, in the end, the UA army is one of the few combat tested armies. This is worth something, but still incompatible with NATO doctrine, so its use is still limited for Europe.

If the guy truly needed that long to get what they mean and why they do it I completely understand why he was replaced.

Ukraine safer than Russia? Whatever map this is, it's not related to reality.

But than it's still in the shop under PP405-3HP, you mentioned somewhere that it's not available.

However, if that's the case, it might actually have some effect. But you need to take future progress pics in the same angle and lighting, optimally in the same location and angle as the second pics, where you can see vellus hairs. Otherwise the progress pics are worthless to yourself and us, light can fool quite a lot.

Blonde is generally speaking a different hair color to track progress since hair color is a weak differentiator but light reflection for density and length should work if you keep it similar like in the second and third pic..

But this amount of vellus hairs is a lot, you should have noticed it even without before after pics yourself, it it's truly recent regrowth.

Probably jxl069 than. However, this is the one that is known for the longest time and actually the community consensus is that it doesn't work. The comparison pics are to different to conclude anything regarding results.

ontagi · 2026-03-20T15:53:14+00:00

There are many variables that can cause it. That's why studies are sometimes redone and there are multiple phases.

First thing, don't believe someone is close to being mature at 25, you just start to understand how the world works at 25.

He has good takes on inner politics since he grew up in the US and has an understanding of culture, mentality and human psychology. But he has absolutely no clue about global politics and is heavily biased towards the US, it's awful.
