Yes, like I said I swapped it for the H.264 version someone uploaded. It's slightly lower quality at the same resolution, but it's guaranteed to work on everything.
I can confirm it does not play on my iPhone 12, using this version of the OS.
Seems like it'll still be a little longer before GWM can officially allow VP9 uploads. I was hoping that might be able to be announced around the beginning of next year, by when historically the majority of Apple devices should be on iOS 18+.
(If anyone is unaware of why it would be a nice option, VP9 is a more efficient codec than AVC/H.264, allowing for higher quality in smaller file sizes, and is the only thing the resolutions on Youtube above 1080p are available in. Note that VP9 is different from HEVC/H.265, which a bunch of other platforms and browsers don't fully support, and isn't likely to be an option anytime soon)
It plays back fine in Chrome/Edge and Firefox, but taking a closer look it's using the VP9 codec, which everything except Safari fully supports. I'm guessing you're using an iPhone or iPod. Can you tell me which version of iOS it's running?
(Supposedly, Safari added support for the codec a while ago, but the last I checked there was still an issue with it not playing it when inside an mp4 container file, which seems like it was getting fixed in iOS 18, but maybe it broke again)

I've changed the merge to use this one as the primary instead:
Which is in the standard AVC/H.264 codec that should work fine on everything, but still 1080p, and higher-quality than your version. I'm curious if anyone running iOS 18 can confirm they're still unable to play the VP9 version.
The VP9 version you posted does not play on my iPhone. iOS version 18.0.1

I uploaded this image/video and it has been merged. The other version doesn’t play at all. Would my version be the better one as that one can be played?

Chainer (or any other mod): would it be possible to make an announcement in the forum every time you blacklist a model from this website? I must admit I use GWM to follow certain girls that I'm interested in so that I don't have to follow them on social media, so when someone gets blacklisted without notice it's easy for me to lose track of them.
I fully understand if there's some good reason for not doing this, but I thought I'd ask just in case.
I'm not going to argue the ethics of having race tags, however to put nationality tags on top of that is just ridiculous to me. There's a limited number of tags you can have and now it seems that by default two ethnicity tags are in every pic. This is just useless waste of space
I was going to go ahead, but looking it up the term is apparently fairly outdated nowadays, since it's based on incorrect theories (kind of like calling Native Americans "Indians" because Columbus mistook what continent he landed on), so I'll probably leave it as-is. This also lets us avoid any annoying nitpicky arguments involving the Caucasus mountain range.
At the end of the day, though race is a flawed and arbitrary metric, it’s still useful for describing relationships with others. Light-skinned Europeans and their light-skinned descendants are “white” relative to everyone else. That’s just how it is, and instead of running away from their whiteness we just need to accept it and tag them accordingly so those of us into WOC can look at who we want.
I've been trying to think of a way to disincentivize this but haven't come up with anything simple and likely to work. If anyone has ideas I'm all ears.
I'm also fine with Chipperpip's solution of renaming it to "caucasian".

Yeah, that's because for the most popular women (Ruby Rivera is currently around the 30th most-subscribed on the site, out of over 78,000), whenever they make a new Instagram post a bunch of people will rush to upload it, and the various resolutions/etc available means they won't always be blocked by the automatic duplicate detection.
I've merged "lifting heavy", "extreme weights", "extremely heavy", and "220 pound dumbbells" (the fuck?), into the existing "heavy weights" tag, since they were all being used basically redundantly.
Convenient for Asian/African fetishists.But yes it's weird to tag 'white'because at least 95% of them are
While I won’t deny that the bodybuilding community (especially in this case female bodybuilders) is sadly overwhelmingly white, I think it’s ridiculous to accept whiteness as the default. That’s a terrible thing to do and has been an aspect of discrimination in the past.
Damn shame that’s how I was originally finding black women and without it I wouldn’t have discovered your profile.
Personally I find the white fragility from other users in this thread deeply embarrassing. Some of us are POC and we prefer easy ways to access the WOC we prefer. Tagging by race/ethnicity makes our experience on this site easier and lets us waste far less time. There’s literally no reason to remove something that adds and costs so much to the experience of users like us.
I’d also like to add that race may be pseudoscience, and not matter to white people (especially Europeans) but for us POC, it’s become an incredibly useful tool we reluctantly use to identify people and how they relate to us.
Also, as someone who prefers WOC, it was genuinely torturous to have to dedicate so much effort to searching for them the hard way. Even threads dedicated to specific groups barely scratch the surface the way the race/ethnicity-model tags make things quick easy and organized. Yeah, it can seem dubious, but it’s useful. I agree with chainer’s suggestion to make it private to non-users.
It's just a more efficient way of sorting all the models. Some people have prefences for certain races but that doesn't mean it's a fetish. You all need to learn to stop reading so deep into everything.

bumping this for the mods

Looks to be ok on the site now
Thanks. As I suspected, it seems to be something that was fixed in the 18 beta and then broken again in the full release.
The VP9 version you posted does not play on my iPhone. iOS version 18.0.1

I’m on IOS 17.7.1. I thought I’d just mention it as some of the comments on the video are about not being able to play it

Suggestion:
I feel like advanced search would be better if All images under "new tags" like
Were also displayed under "original tag" like biceps
Like a Tag Hierarchy (Super tags and sub tags)
Similarly
For Triceps
Can you please tell me How does the similar image detection work ? By meta data ?
If yes it will be difficult to disincentivize.
Tags applied to the model as a whole don't count towards the tag limit on individual pics; that's one of their main features.
The 10-tag limit is indeed not enough, maybe we can increase it to 20 or even remove the limit (but avoid malicious additions
