While I agree with the campaign to withdraw from the program to make the government effectively set a bunch of money on fire, I wish the CCFR didn't do these AI slop posts. We donate money directly or through merch purchases. Please use it on competent advertisement creation.

They also love to use heavily politicized language in their posts. I wish they would keep it simple and say they don't like the buyback and list the reasons why it's stupid instead they focus on rebranding the issue like politicians.

I agree. Using polarizing languages further undermines their credibility.

I unfollowed them on IG because of their political language, and I was tired of seeing all the maple maga idiots in the comment section.

Why would I vote for the party with the gun ban?

u/shekelMeGoys Mar 28 '26

Okay good you didn’t you’d be surprised how many gun owners voted for carney it’s crazy. I’ve seen it before I was buying a shotgun at a gun store and there was 3 older guys in there about 50 to 60s talking about voting for carney I couldn’t believe it they were arguing with the gun store clerks about that we shouldn’t be able to own ARs and others semi automatic rifles. I told them they sound like communists before walking out.

Dont get me wrong. I like Carney. I prefer him over Pierre and i can agree with most of their platform especially compared to the CPC. But if you lie with the gun ban you aren't getting my vote.

You like Carney? Must be a sick joke...

u/The_King_of_Canada mb Mar 30 '26

Compared to Pierre? Absolutely. Mans just a conservative neo-liberal in a liberal smok.

u/OutdoorGearFanatic Mar 30 '26

And Carney is better how? He has literally done nothing except for making things worse in practically every way possible... What is there to like? That he's close friends with former prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell? 🙄

You should let them know you’re willing to pay the extra money to hire photographers and models to help get the message out. Personally, I’d rather see these AI ads and have our money going to the Supreme court challenge that actually might stop this nonsense. But if you’re willing to pay the difference then my hat is off to you.

u/Ov3rReadKn1ght0wl Mar 27 '26

Not just for the CCFR, but generally, I'd throw in some extra bucks to avoid bad AI art. For the CCFR I understand that sometimes they just have to throw something together on the quick, but still. Some basic GD software competence can work miracles.

u/Devilsrighthand420 Mar 27 '26

Get on it then! And because you’ve said you will I will watch for the shout out from them for your donation! Thanks in advance!

u/Ov3rReadKn1ght0wl Mar 28 '26

Yeah, unfortunately I am not in a position to give the sorts of amounts that would earn myself a rank in their thank bank, but I'll keep contributing to the organization and hope they can do what other organizations do, and you know, use dues revenue for different things.

u/22GageEnthusiast Mar 27 '26

You do realize that if want them to make non-AI posts that they would have to actually pay someone actual money to either make social media posts or do basic graphic design.

If you're not going to offer these kinds of services to them for free then I would seriously pipe down.

Do they not teach division anymore? You know that we give them money through donations, membership dues, and merch purchases right? There is this seriously brilliant thing you can do with money called hiring people, or buying software, or expanding your knowledge bank by taking the money you receive from one avenue, and channeling it towards something you want. It's a brilliant thing called commerce! If we give them money, they can take our money and use it within their organization for lobbying efforts. I know it's probably a foreign concept to some, but I get it, education inequality and yadada.

If other lobbying organizations can put out publications and market using this wonderful thing called the resources at its disposal, I don't see how it is an earth-shattering ask of the CCFR.

Also, last time I checked Affinity and Canva are free programs and I have yet to see their organization put out a call for an improved comms division. So... unless you understand how revenue streams, the exchange of goods and services, and you know, basic knowledge of free graphics programs, pipe down.

no photo is better than an AI slop photo.

u/Mercrantos2 Mar 28 '26

That's your opinion. Obviously it's not shared among people who use AI

4

u/I_Automate Mar 29 '26

People who use ai for crap like this come across as uneducated, low effort shills.

That's not something I'd want to be associated with

u/swift_gilford Mar 30 '26

as someone who is chronically online - seeing ad's with AI in current online settings always just seems like a scam so it auto deters me.

u/rel4pse_ Mar 28 '26

slop is slop

u/Ov3rReadKn1ght0wl Mar 28 '26

Affinity and Canva are free programs. Cameras are in everyone's pockets. Moreover, not everything requires graphics.

u/Ov3rReadKn1ght0wl Mar 29 '26

You can also do a general social media post with a screenshot of the relevant language to confirm its legitimacy.
