Reached 10,000 Min-Photo Uses! Along with a Skillful Tease

《2268th consecutive day!》

Are you all collecting note badges?

Badges are awarded when you complete specific missions or reach certain milestones to boost a creator's motivation for creation.
(You can see them in your dashboard)

Among them...
there is a badge that requires quite a number of days.

That is,

the number of times your images have been used in the Everyone's Photo Gallery!

Everyone's Photo Gallery (Min-Photo) is a system where, when a creator posts an article on note, they can choose a title image from images shared by other creators.

This badge is designed so that you receive it more and more as the number of times your Min-Photo images are used increases.

At first, it's in increments of 5.
After 20 uses, it's in increments of 10.
After 50 uses, it's in increments of 25.
After 100 uses, it's in increments of 100.

As the numbers grow like this, the increments increase as well.

After that, the intervals widen even further.

After 500 uses, it's in increments of 250.
After 1,000, it's in increments of 1,000.

And then...

After 5,000 uses, the next one is 10,000!?

Hey, wait a minute!

I wouldn't know the count until Min-Photo was used another 5,000 times.
It took over four years since I started note to reach 5,000 uses.

At that rate, it wouldn't just be years; for some people, it would be decades of being left hanging.

And then, two years passed since reaching the 5,000-use milestone.

Ding-a-ling.

Suddenly, this notification appeared!

Your Min-Photo Gallery images have been used 10,000 times!

Ohhhhh!
I finally reached it!

Two years...

It really was a long time...

I'll go check the badge right away.

Oh no.
The badge hasn't arrived.

Could it have been a display error?

A few days later.

Ding-a-ling.

Something came in again!

The same notification as before!?

No, wait.
It says I've earned the 10,000 uploads badge!

I'll start scrolling through my badges right away.

100, 200, 300, 500, 1000, 2000...

3000, 4000, 5000

And then...

10,000

Ta-da!
It's finally here!
The 10,000-use milestone badge!!!!

To leave it neglected for years and then tease me for a few more days!
You're quite the player, aren't you? 💛

But you know.
I think I should be grateful that people use my Min-Photo images this much.

We live in an era where you can easily create the perfect title image using AI.

In that context, I think it is a true honor that people go out of their way to choose my images and use them for their important title images.

Also, thanks to this Min-Photo feature, I've been able to read the works of the creators who used my images and connect with them as well.

So, that was the story of my Min-Photo gallery reaching 10,000 uses.

(Is there no badge for over 10,000 uses? Could it be that I'm entering an eternal state of neglect?)
