The Story of How Comments Disappeared When I Summoned a Gal | Summoning Project | Brand Experiment | AI Art | #369

I tried a little experiment.

You often hear that "cute pictures get popular."

So, I secretly tried it out.
An experiment using a gal for the illustration.

Pink background.
Hearts.
Sparkles.
A finger pointing to say 'Like this!'

I thought I had everything perfectly set up.

……The comments, they disappeared.

I mean, they vanished completely.

It's like being in a library studying.
Well, I've never done that, though...

I exaggerated a bit.
No, I exaggerated the expression quite a bit.
I'm sorry.

Comparing them is brutal

The one using the gal was the article from the evening of 5/12.

This article,
I narrowed down my note data in three stages
and analyzed it with a lot of effort.

I was confident in the content.

But the result was this.

53 likes, 3 comments. (As of 5/13 AM)

And, an earlier article.

The illustration I used for this one
was something like a sculpture of an old man with feather decorations.
Far from pink.
No hearts.
No sparkles.

No matter how you look at it, it's a character at the opposite end of "cute."

The result for this one.

72 likes, 36 comments.

...It's not just three times, it's more than that.

I think it's the character's fault.

There might be various reasons.

The timing of the post?
Was the text too long?
Was the content too difficult?
Was the theme hard to comment on?

That might be true.

But I think it'sthe gal's faultfor sure.

Wait, you're telling me not to blame the character?

Just hear me out.

What do you think people are coming here to see?

The readers, well,
I feel like they came here to see something like this.

If a gal shows up there and says "Give me a like!💕",
what happens?

...Something feels off.

They think, "Oh, so that's the kind of person they are," and they distance themselves.

In short, I think
the KITAcore brand image and the gal's signal
were out of sync.

It's not the gal's fault.
It's not the cute art's fault.

What the readers expect from KITAcore and the vibe the gal gives off
didn't match.

No, it's the gal's fault.

A serious analysis of why grotesque characters are popular

Grotesque characters are, after all, "things that only exist here."

An old man who looks like a stone statue is saying, "Give me a like♡."
That in itself feels like KITAcore.

It's easy to say, "I like this kind of thing."

It also serves as a conversation starter for comments.

In other words.

Characters that fit the brand increase engagement.
Characters that feel out of place for the brand kill comments.

I guess that's obvious.
But I wouldn't have known if I hadn't experienced it myself.

I never thought a data engineer would end up learning through
summoned characters instead of learning through data.

Conclusion

If you're going to use cute illustrations,
you have to choose a "cuteness" that fits KITAcore.

Rather than a smiling beautiful girl,
some kind of mysterious entity actually fits this brand better.

……Well, that's that.

Well, it's just like me.

By the way: I'd like to hear which character you prefer.

Let me know in the comments.
I assume it's the grotesque one, though.

Please also like and follow.

If possible,
I'd be happy if you could receive it as if it were being said by a grotesque entity.

But, let me say this.

If you seriously like grotesque things,
that means you're just as weird as I am lol

See you later.
