@Anonymous: I think people complain too much about there" not being enough OC" on Canv.as. Yes, there are some reposts, but the most popular stuff -- the stuff that really takes off -- tends to be OC (and remixes of OC).

Canv.as is, effectively, a democracy -- everyone has equal opportunity to create and to vote (with stickers). So we all play a part in making this a good community.

@Anonymous: The whole point of canvas though was to remix images and create OC. It's become more about stickers than anything, and that's a bad thing.

@Anonymous: Yeah, but keep in mind, quantity has a quality of its own.

@Tylor_Durden: Cool story bro, but I'm not going to give you another banana.

@Anonymous: canv.as is only in beta. maybe there will be a better sorting device in place- a way to mark things as reposts/sticker-mongering posts.. but generally, things sort themselves out. you don't have to search too hard to find the good stuff (everything-> popular ...even if it's 2 pages of the "days best" - it's a lot in the grand scheme of things )

@Anonymous: If someone shits in a bathtub 1000 times, it's still shit.

@Anonymous: "Cool story bro" is a repost.

@Anonymous: The sticker-whoring is a concern. Maybe Canv.as should rethink the sticker-for-#1s system. Do you think the sticker-whoring was less common before the #1s were limited?

@Anonymous: Do you want to know my opinion? You're going to hate it. Are you ready?

I think we should scrap the entire sticker system.

@Anonymous: ...Yes.

@Anonymous: no, a repost marker that would completely REFILE the post into a new category. saying "yeah, this is funny. but it's nothing we haven't seen before" - making OC more visible and making people think twice about stickering it. also providing a section for people to go to if they just want to laugh at something- maybe a section you'd show to your grandma who has never seen memes before and wants to see the previously successful shit.

@Anonymous: That's the case with canvas, but when you look at it, you still have 999 piles of shit.

@Anonymous: What if there was a repost group, and people could post reposts there! But here's the catch! Stickers are disabled for that group. Posting reposts outside of the repost group would result in points being taken away from your next level up.

I love how, in between the text discussion, there are people on here who are actually remixing the original post. Nice.

@Anonymous: i think i've just developed a new pet peeve: people who preface their comments with
-Do you want to know my opinion? You're going to hate it. Are you ready?
-I'm going to throw this out there. I'm expecting nothing but D: stickers but I don't care.

@Anonymous: The rest of the internet isn't about creating OC though. It just happens. Canvas is specifically made for remixing and creating OC.

@Anonymous: brb

@Anonymous: I know you won't like it but I actually like people like that.

@Anonymous: remixes =/= OC
just sayin

@Anonymous: thread within a thread. we must go deeper.

@Anonymous: Do you see all of these creative remixes with Op's spirally fancy circle thing? That's OC. When you look around canvas and see forever alones and nyancats on everything? That's not OC.

@Anonymous: I don't hate your opinion, but I do like stickers. They're fun.

@Anonymous: http://canv.as/p/2kl18/reply/258888
This entire thread is golden, and is probably the best example of OC on canvas.

@Anonymous: I like stickers too, but they are a terrible system that take away from the aspect of remixing. You should remix because you want to share, not to get stickers.

@Anonymous: A remix is not necessarily original. But in order to get to original content you must modify/remix your image.

@Anonymous: I disagree.
It's not like I don't like the remixes being posted, they're very creative.
It's not OC though. They're just remixes.

okay, let me see if i'm understanding correctly...

@Anonymous: Not all rectangles are squares, but all squares are rectangles.

@Anonymous: This thread, for example.

Original content arises when you modify a certain image and add your touch to it. Usually for the lulz
