Media is a channel presented in the format of a commonplace book—unorganized notes connected randomly. The goal of «My Trinkets» is to create a unique archive of materials and personal reflections on comics, illustration, and other subjects within the arts. The author’s vision plays a key role in this medium, as it is what generates the uniqueness and value of the selection. Readers receive diverse information, which can be presented both as professional commentary and as an enthusiast’s perspective. Furthermore, the reader can engage in a discussion with the author and suggest their own notes to expand the archive.

User sources are selected because they are what create the uniqueness and voice of the channel. An author’s vision is the key value of «My Fintiflyushki»: without personal thought and reader discussion, the channel would be nothing more than a retelling of others’ selections.Content sources are selected because they provide volume and texture for the archive. They fill out the collections and thematic posts, but value only emerges after the author’s selection and commentary.The principle of connection: a content source is not a post in itself—it only becomes one after selection and establishing a connection with other notes. This is the mechanism of the commonplace book declared in the channel’s concept.

Machine processing within «My Fintiflushki» functions as a preparatory pipeline: it takes in raw materials, standardizes them, removes duplicates, assigns base tags, and archives everything with a processing status, and then suggests preliminary sets of candidates for future posts. Critically, the machine does not make judgments about value—it merely organizes and stores data, while selection, personal insight, and establishing connections between notes remain with the author. This separation allows the channel to retain its uniqueness and voice: automation eliminates the routine of collection and annotation without supplanting the author’s vision, which is the core value of the selection.

In «My Finteflyushki, ” human curation constitutes the value contour: the author selects from the tagged archive only what is truly compelling, adds personal thought and professional or amateur commentary, establishes connections with other notes, and chooses the post format. After publication, the author engages in discussion with readers and periodically revisits the archive, finding new connections in older entries. This is where the channel’s uniqueness is born: while the machine merely organizes data, the meaning, voice, and value of the selection are created through the author’s selection and interpretation. The cycle closes—through reader comments and discoveries sent back into the machine loop—transforming „Finteflyushki“ from a personal notebook into a living, growing archive.
