What's the point in contributing to commons?

Data collection for Big Tech, I believe.

I do it in part to learn more about the places of I've taken pictures of. The process of having to label everything (which may well help big tech) requires finding everything out. It's pretty cool to be able to add structured data to images; it's not quite the old keyword folksonomy (à la flickr), as it has aspirations to "rigour".

You can search the structured data on our own photos using SPARQL, so it *could* be used as a fairly sophisticated personal organizing tool. But then again, so could your own computer.

It won't teach you how to catch fish .

Good way to dox yourself if you don’t remove exif data; coincidentally, uploaded an insect pic from home the other day thinking the data was erased… oh well, I use my real name on Wikimedia.

All my Flickr pics are Creative Commons. Since I use my real name, sometimes magazines use my pics and they show up on a Google search of my name; thus, hiding the nefarious things I’m also known for. For the longest time, Xxxxx used one of my pics of Mexican marijuana.

Interesting points, I hope you get unblocked. Though it's interesting to see a vocal Bernie supporter here, as Wikipedia is obsessed with him.

Insofar as I have no intention of contributing anything related to Colonel Sanders, I don't suppose that really matters much, but, yeah.

• Back in the day, 56.7% (38/67) of voters voted to Cban me. MastCell called this a >2/3 majority and ArbCom decided that such new math and rapid closure when people started objecting to the curb-kicking was within admin discretion and was not a supervote.
• As of 1 January 2023, 61.5% of voters (12.8/20.8) had voted to unban me. This does not include any of the conditional supports (including MastCell's "I could support an unban as long as it's clear that this isn't a second chance, but more like an ''n''th chance, and that there won't be an (''n''+1)th chance.) but does include the brand-new red Lobster from Maine account's support (counted above as 0.8).

Curiously, the most vocal among the opposes has made more than 20 posts to the thread. Perhaps when this goes to a bureaucat chat (in the 60-75% range), some of this "badgering" will be discounted. Oh wait, these things don't go to "bureaucat chats" do they?
