A walkthrough of Karmalicity 4.0 for actors, covering the new Instagram follow exchange, the reputation score and the bugs to expect.

7 Things Actors Should Know About the Karmalicity 4.0 Update

Drawn from what is actually said on camera, so you can decide whether to spend the 4:33 watching it.

The Instagram follow exchange finally exists

Karmalicity 4.0 adds a new exchange section split into Instagram follows and IMDb views. The Instagram side is the headline addition, and it gives actors a place to share their account and pick up more industry followers. It had been requested for years.

Instagram exchange runs on honor and reputation

Follows appear to be tracked on an honor system paired with a reputation score. The list tops out at 800, yet one account showed a reputation of 940 with no explanation anywhere on the site for how the number is calculated.

Check which Instagram account you are logged into

After entering your Instagram URL and pulling your account info, open Instagram and confirm you are in the correct account, the same habit that applies to Twitter and Facebook. Following people from the wrong account can get you reported and drag your reputation score down.

Popup blocker warnings do not go away when you comply

Following someone can trigger a warning that browser extensions are enabled and must be disabled. Turning off the popup blocker did not clear the warning, so for now you just acknowledge the error and keep going.

The IMDb views section shipped with two bugs

Requesting your own listing does not stick. Click to be listed, reload the page, and it is gone. Performing an action for someone else also fails, asking for the running time of a title that does not appear to exist on IMDb.

Dashboard and Pro settings changed for the better

Confirming that your past work is intact is now automatic instead of a three click process. Pro settings add an IMDb portion minimum value so you can request a higher threshold and earn more points from your views, plus a bonus title option that is still a spinning circle.

Acting Craft is built by how your site should connect to your social profiles.

good morning actors it's 6:00 a.m. on June 17th and the new caramel city site is up and running first things first the dashboard has changed a little bit the tank that I like the most about it is that you no longer have to click three buttons to confirm that your past work is intact so this is now automatic for all of you who are brand new to Carmel sorry well I'm not even going to explain what that means but for those who have been using it daily I'm pretty sure you'll be less annoyed now Pro settings have been added today I am DB portion with minimum value and bonus title minimum value I dig it makes sense I can now request it to be higher to get more points out of my views bonus title well it's just a spinning circle for now but once it's fixed it will allow you to select a title from your IMDB page to get an extra view somehow well that's a bug number one the YouTube subscription exchange is gone so this seems a bit like a step back rather than a step forward I know they've had issues with fake subscribers but instead of finding a way to eliminate the issues they've eliminated the feature well that's one way to go about it and speaking of features they now have a brand new exchange section which is broken down by Instagram fallows and I am DB views since IMDB views is not a new thing I will start with that first and sure enough there's at least two bugs introduced here number one putting a request for my listing doesn't stick as you can see I would click to be listed then reload the page and nope not happening but okay let's pretend it is working and try to perform an action for someone else nope bug number two what is the running time of this title what is this title actually scroll to IMDB maybe a movie is actually called that well never mind that I'm pretty sure they'll have this fixed up in no time off to the next Instagram exchange this is the one that I was most excited about and I was curious on how it would be implemented and it looks like it is somewhat working on an honor system and reputation system which I'm not quite sure how that works currently my reputation is showing at 9:40 which I guess is a case is the limit in the list tops of at 800 but why is it 940 that is not explained anywhere moving on the first thing we need to do is enter your Instagram URL and get your account info simple enough and just as with Twitter and Facebook I recommend to go to the account and make sure you're in the right account you don't want to follow people with the wrong account as they might report you and lower that reputation score if you do follow someone on Instagram the website might give you a pop-up warning that you have some extensions enabled and to disable them I do hate disabling my popup blockers but I've gone ahead and done so for the sake of checking if that helps no it doesn't help it's a bit annoying but I guess you have to acknowledge their errors for now on the plus side they finally have a place to share your Instagram account and get more industry followers adding your listening works as before you can select add listing then select listing type for example I'm about to launch a new site for actors that helps to memorize their lines and I have a video for that so we'll add it here and it's been added so pretty much the same as before but in a different location everything else seems to be working the same way so we do have a few bugs on our hands but the main thing is Instagram exchange I've been asking for it for years now it's here am i impressed by it well I would say that it did not live up to the hype of my own expectations but here that doesn't lower the value of the tool I've been telling everyone about Carmel city for years and I will continue to do so
