We had a looonnngg discussion last night about ride reports. The WHY, WHERE, .........
For me there are only ONE issue with posting pics directly in WD. You can not structure your report nicely. -- there are no way to put text between pics. - that I know of.

My take on the topic.
1. Resizing is so easy and quick from Windows with 'Image Resizer'. I do the whole batch in one go.
2. I also use the resize step to sort the pics. (all resized pics that are posted will go into a 'Posted' folder. This helps to keep sanity and duplications in control.
3. All non used pics are deleted from the 'Forum folder' and all masters are saved on external backup.
4. I even rename the DICIM folder on the phone every month for additional ease of management. (Android will create the folder again with the next picture taken.) sometimes I even create a folder for a trip on the phone.
5. In my view there are no reason to upload a moerse hi-res picture for a tripreport - or any social media. It is just counter productive. I size to 1336 x 768 and don't think the quality is an issue (for the intended purpose)
6. The video route 'detatch' me from any 'loss of host' issues and I can mail/give/send/... my report to anyone- even without social media etc.
7. The reason I post

?.
At this point in time (and I did mention it in the fred already) I will do a trip report (mostly video in my case) to share it with other like minded souls that might not have the TIME/MONEY/SKILL/PERSEVERANCE to go and enjoy our country.
I've been involved in the filming of the two 'Look what your missing' seasons and can tell you, IT WAS A MASSIVE UNDERTAKING in both labour and finance. BUT the feedback we received (fokol geld) from viewers that will never have the chance to do even a small trip to some unknown destination made it worthwhile. (there also were those who just find fault - this is also good as it was a constant gauge if the producers was 'on the right track'.
In my case I like to share MY experience (even about a well documented route) with anyone out there and hopefully the viewer close the screen on a more positive note about what is out there. I hope I will never get so low to become one of the 'Whatsup guys, please click the LIKE button' brigade or let adverts ruin the experience for the viewer.
I actually don't mind if no-one comment (good or bad). I do go to the 'analytics' page of my youtube channel and look at the 'hit rate' and how long the video was watched. for me that is the REAL indication if the content was presented in a captivating way. Some of my first video's had a watch time of less than 15%. I knew that would be the case until I could put voice in to explain the where/when etc. The last two got a MUCH higher watch duration which could be linked to the voice and I now have a standard intro and are working towards a 'theme'. (I am still an absolute beginner in this whole process.)
Lastly.
I have so many things/hobbies etc that I basically only visit about 4 freds on the forum - and Trips/Reports is NOT one of them. I probably go there once or twice per MONTH and than just scan through the pics. - only if the title draw my attention. If I find them interesting only then will I read (a bit) There are freds I've NEVER even visit on the forum.

To sum: WD is the only forum I joined. My phone do not have any social media activity other than WatsAp. I despise it when I am with a group and 80% of them are constantly on their phones. I think it is an addiction. I will rather sit for 30minutes and watch a goldfish swim in an empty bowl than listen/watch other people acting stupid or whatever. But that is just me.
WD 'management', keep up the good work.
