Мне кажется, для маркетологов, пиарщиков и спецов по СММ очень интересная задачка — почему ВК не заводятся донаты художникам.
Художники, как я уже писал ранее — одна из самых контентообразующих ниш ВК. Но практически ни у кого из них не завелась модель с подпиской VK Donut.
У пабликов по СММ модель завелась — люди платят. У Tool 42 тоже (до сих пор тайна для меня, почему только у них из всех приложений). Вроде как еще у какого-то паблика с K-pop музыкой модель завелась. В общем, отдельные примеры есть, не сказать, что VK Donut полностью нежизнеспособная штука.
А художники — хоть убей. У Зубкова не заработало, у Дюрана не заработало, у Гудима не заработало. Помню, как на самой первой сходке авторов от ВК (меня туда пригласили, как активного блогера) художник Ahriman рассказывал, как зарабатывает на донатах. Но сейчас я смотрю в его паблике даже донаты выключены. То есть, даже если работало, то только временно.
Причём, аудитория у этих художников — во многом взрослая молодежь, платежеспособные люди, десятки тысяч. Иногда сотни тысяч, как у Дюрана: почти лям подписчиков и всего 14 платящих.
Интересно, занимается ли изучением этого вопроса пиар-отдел VK. Мне было бы очень любопытно узнать какую-то аналитику.

#IGAD welcomes #Sudan’s return to regional bloc after two-year suspension
The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) has welcomed Sudan’s decision to resume full participation in the regional organization, describing the move as a step toward strengthening regional unity and cooperation.
In a statement issued today, IGAD said Sudan’s return reaffirms the bloc’s commitment to peace, stability, and collective action across the Horn of Africa and neighboring regions.
Sudan suspended its participation in IGAD in mid-January 2024, objecting to the bloc’s handling of its internal conflict.

#Ethiopia: Weeks after a disputed peace deal, #Amhara Regional Government says AFAHD vice chair Colonel Fentaw Muhaba joins peace process
Weeks after a disputed peace agreement between the Amhara Regional Government and the Amhara #Fano People’s Organization (#AFAHD), the regional government announced that Colonel Fentaw Muhaba, Vice Chair and Military Commander-in-Chief of AFAHD, has entered the peace process along with his forces.

Officials described his move as a step toward de-escalation and stabilizing the region.

#Sudan’s Democratic Bloc split over unauthorized talks in #Ethiopia
Public divisions emerged within Sudan’s Freedom and Change – Democratic Bloc on Sunday after member organizations held unauthorized meetings with international mediators in the Ethiopian capital, #Addis_Abeba.
The “Quintuple Mechanism”—comprising the #African_Union, #IGAD, the #United_Nations, the #Arab_League, and the #European_Union—is seeking to bridge the gap between Sudanese political forces to launch a process on the country’s future governance.
Democratic Bloc spokesperson Juma al-Wakil disavowed the delegation in Addis Ababa, stating the coalition “did not participate in the meeting and did not send a representative delegation.” He added that no authorization had been issued for any entity to represent the bloc in the consultations.
Al-Wakil, who is affiliated with Minni Minawi’s Sudan Liberation Movement (#SLM), said that if members participated, they did so in a “personal or ....

The five-member mechanism overseeing the civilian track of the #Berlin conference stated on Sunday that the Sudanese crisis has transcended its borders and become internationalized, affecting the global community, particularly regarding international humanitarian law.
The quintet—comprising the #African_Union, #United_Nations, #European_Union, #Arab_League, and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD)—is working to find a resolution to the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (#RSF).
IGAD Envoy for Sudan Lawrence Korbandy told Sudan Tribune that the Berlin conference is taking place as the international community is preoccupied with tensions in the #Gulf, #Iran, and #Israel.
This has marginalized the Sudan crisis despite it being the..........

#Sudan slams #Uganda for hosting paramilitary chief
Sudan's army-aligned government on Sunday criticised #Kampala for hosting rival paramilitary chief Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, slamming his reception by Uganda's president as an "affront to humanity".
#Hemeti on Friday met with Ugandan President Yoweri #Museveni at #Entebbe's State House, a day after a United Nations probe found his forces had committed acts of genocide in #Darfur.
Sudan's foreign ministry on Sunday criticised the meeting, saying the #RSF's atrocities had been "documented by the international community and condemned by regional organisations of which Uganda is a member", including the African Union & the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (#IGAD).
Daglo, speaking during his visit, said he travelled to Uganda after President Museveni was approached by the Sudanese army seeking his mediation.
His visit came a week ...
