Over these past few years, I've been seeing a massive drop in my cr purchases but the promo cr purchases are nearly the same. How come they're not dropping together? I understand that the pandemic is dwindling down and folks are not staying home as much anymore and probably going out more than ever to make up for lost time they spent in staying away from people.
Are all these promo purchases really from what imvu's been giving to people and folks are just not buying so much anymore?
If this is the case, then maybe we can appeal to the masses more by promoting more internet safety. Tik Tok's getting in trouble for snatching people's info, eventually the other sites will follow and I'd like to see imvu step away from that hole.
Because people here are not focused on showing their real photos, only digital characters, it has great potential to keep our real lives safe. Most people who post their real selves online to the public do it to try to get famous which comes with a lot of danger because it leaves clues and traces for bad people to find them irl.
I'm more comfortable giving imvu staff my personal address so they can send me goodies! As well as my tax info if I wanted to begin cashing out with their creator program. I don't see why Marketing would need these types of specific details. Our age group and general region is enough. They don't need our addresses, birthday, birth sex, or irl names to know what we want to buy or have been buying. The only folks who could use that info are... not the type you want to have your info. Why would a marketing team need to know where my house is? It's not like I'm going to go walk outside and buy the ice cream they advertised to me online, society is leaning more towards deliveries so my general area is enough if they're so focused on Marketing irl things to me. Even when they're a good company, just storing that personal info is enough to become a target for bad people to be attracted to them, and thus the security tango that is quite costly.
Eventhough there are so many people who want help with shopping, ads still don't generally work as intended lol I think imvu can help ad companies and customers with that. I would love nothing more than to have a healthy market so that people don't have to resort to fraud just to pay their bills.
Since the whole idea of market research is to be able to tell what a lot of people would want to buy, by looking at what they have been buying in the past, and identify the beginning of trends faster so companies can know what to invest in and place better bets on what will bring in profits so they can build their lives and homes around... I would really love it if imvu struck up a general agreement with outside businesses in general to wave copyrights under specific conditions. It's too complicated and difficult for the average creator to contact a company for permission to use their brand here, takes forever, and these companies usually say no because they don't even understand what all this is! lol So many have been better off just creating their own unique brands and competing against these real life ones, instead of working together. Since these real life companies don't want to come to imvu to create their brands items for us to buy, and clearly there are many customers here who want to buy them, I'd like it for imvu to build that bridge for creators to use.
Would love if we can educate these companies what imvu is so they could decide which conditions we can meet in order to do an automated business together. I've noticed that imvu tries to blur the lines between the rules we're use to in real life and online and try to bring things together. So logically, this is the next step to me, and I don't want to wait for companies to make the first move because they're too slow and lost in their own problems. Reach out and start with 1 or a few brands as a test for other companies to watch and grow confidence and then understand the potential here.
or not... wtv lol just getting this out of my head.

@RigsK I've noticed some friends and acquaintances getting their imvu creator acc. banned before the companies they've ripped designs from could sue imvu. I understand it at least, since it's better than creators dealing with large corporations!
I'm trying to learn more about this and I'm curious to know if staff ever updates their info on it, or do they just do it as a rule of thumb? Because my friends have been trying to explain to me that Pokemon is safe to use now since it's trademark is over 20 years old and now open to the public. They've given me a link to their official site explaining it all https://www.pokemon.com/us/legal/ and I'm wondering if any other brands have the same situation, and maybe creators on imvu can proudly use these to begin showing current companies the potential here? I just want to know if it's safe to do this.

Look how nice and well detailed this is. I am so sad that this is actually a copyrighted design taken from a video game. I'm not a gamer so I didn't recognize it at first but it did feel a little too good for imvu's usual styles so I google searched the name the creator labeled the products as and right away found references. Now I'm worried that all the other clothing items I've bought from this creator today are also all copyrighted and eventually they will be banned, just like my other friend on here, and I won't be able to use them directly in Feed photos, or I'll probably ruin other people's chances of being selected to go on Discover if they take a photo with me in the scene.
He was amazing at painting and grasped the new imvu+ Studio features well for a beginner, but he lacked imagination! We'd discuss about him taking things slow so he could build up his creativity and confidence over time, like a muscle. He just could not get comfortable with the idea of free handing and exploring his own ideas, he was so dependant on using guides to tell him where to put what. It was like he was an empty shell but his paint skills were really out of this world. I don't think he was an AI because imvu's texture maps are pretty unique to paint on. He just had a really hard time grasping the online community and finding reference sheets he liked enough to buy. All the artists that he loved on twitter and other places... he found it just too confusing to contact to set up a purchase of their designs, especially since not everyone understands the same languages and most tend to ignore inbox messages since they're usually full of spam and regular messages.
The people that are going to these digital art schools and computer graphic design courses... are going to need platforms to practice and explore themselves on. Most of them are young and don't have a mind for business and an understanding of rules like these. They just play video games as a hobby then want to build what they grew attached to, and then those platforms are constantly chasing them to reprimand them and kick them out lol After watching for so many years, I think this problem can be turned around and help the site grow profits, along with everyone.
