A question
Why do people hide thier prompts?
Is it a originality thing, a promotion thing, or some other reason.
I have learned so much reading other people's prompts.

AHonestly, it’s a mix of all of that.
Some people treat the prompt like part of the work. They spent a while tuning it, and they’d rather not have the exact same image show up five minutes later. Others are using it for commissions or prints, so the method is part of what they’re selling. And some just don’t feel like sharing — no deeper reason than that.
That said, you’re right that reading other people’s prompts is one of the fastest ways to learn. A lot of the useful stuff on here only spreads because someone left the prompt up. Both are fine. Sharing is appreciated when someone’s comfortable with it, but nobody’s required to.
If a post doesn’t include one, it’s usually not personal. You’re always free to ask. Sometimes the person will share it, sometimes they won’t. If they say no, that’s just something you take on the chin — you can’t really force anyone to hand over their prompt. Same goes the other way: respect people’s choices and privacy, and you’ll get the same in return.👍

BI hide mine only when I feel like it was a bunch of "lucky" results, where the prompts would waste more credits than it would benefit anyone trying to replicate a result. Not sure if that makes sense. In any case, only speaking for myself, feel free to ask about anything. Personally I mostly hide them to save people the hassle of maybe trying something that would work a small percentage of the time. Feels like false advertisement lol.
TI hide my prompts when there's a lot of images in a post that were enhanced using the HD Enhance Face tool, because it only keeps the prompt for the face. I also hide them when I work with someone else's OC who doesn't want to share the prompt for their OC.
RI write my prompts instinctively and don’t put a lot of work into my posts, so personally, I’m just happy if someone finds inspiration in them. But I understand why those who spend a long time on their posts wouldn’t want to share their prompts.
WEveryone has their reasons but I decided to share all my prompts early on, so that people can either improve on my prompts or point out where I can improve. If someone wants to take my OCs and run with them, by all means go for it. There's a chance it will make both of us happy.
RI’m probably not saying much that hasn’t already been said, but prompts are part of your own creation, so I can understand not wanting to just give them away. Personally, though, I’m happy to share mine if someone asks nicely. 🖤
Of course I get inspiration from other people too, but honestly, I think it’s more interesting when you don’t have their prompts. That way you end up creating something of your own instead of simply copying it 🔥
HSome of my prompts are multiple paragraphs long, especially when making complex pieces. There's a very specific way I like to do my prompts, and if I see copies of my style it's just like... Ok then why should I even bother trying to make it stand out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (If that makes sense)
GAs for my Case, my OCs are special to me and everyone except of the BGC Characters (Priss, Linna, Nene, Sylia, Leon, Daily and Irene) carring all a small piece of my personalaty. At some point i may will able to share them but I'm not ready for that right. The people have shared my prompts with are those i trust and i know that they handle them with repect. If spent hours to create something and to put you to pour one's heart and soul into it, only to see it copied and may used in a way which is inappropriate... Well that feels not geart. But as @a_casual_prompter said you can always ask for 😄 even if i'm not willing to share them (depends on the OC) i may find another way to help on you problem 😉
PI made this decision not to disclose the prompt with my very first post, and since then I keep them hidden, by default. But the prompts are not secret. Anyone, if asks, I will either show the prompts for the set, or write the particular one in the comments 😉 And, as you know, I react to all comments 😊
HI must admit that I don’t like the feeling of „hey, that‘s my stuff“ if i see parts or whole prompts used without mentioning the origin
