^I agree, photo sets are for posing, videos are for action, and unless there is something spectacular that deserves being in both formats, duplication should be avoided. While I understand that the pictures are usually done between video segments, thus are not precisely the same all the time, it would have served better just to continue the video to some degree. No, I don't want to see 10 minutes of Beshine resting on a bench, but then again, 20 pictures is a bit much, and the duplication of dueling formats leaves the member feeling somewhat cheated; two updates, ½ month of updates, all from a short singular few minutes of time. If you look back to the earliest times, this was rarely done, and the pictures were often very creatively done, not snapped in quick sequence. My suggestion would be to adhere to implied purpose of each, photo vs video, reserve action for walking about and pictures for the semi-private posing. And if a few pictures were taken, I would hope, between segments of video, make a single picture set of all those miscellaneous pictures from different events (something else she used to do; a few pictures each from multiple locations lumped together). Always trying to think of ways to increase interest and maintain members. Of course, this is not the first time I have broached this subject but seen no action, though anyone would have to admit that after my first post here (the last time Beshine posted was to thank me for the post), the practice of using reflective imaging did cease for the most part, for which I am thankful.
I have no idea if the number of regular members (versus occasional 30 day members) has remained constant, but I have noticed that the Sunday party chat has dropped significantly; a year ago, it seemed there were always about 13 to 17 people in the room, and when I checked a couple weeks back, it was 4 to 7. Positive exposure is paramount to maintaining interest as my post above states; always keep your customers happy and do not discourage them from spreading the word to others.
