RE: 🌴🌴🌴 My Weekly Travel Photo #27 🌴🌴🌴
As an amateur photographer I would expect someone who is seemingly a professional photographer to have more than 16 words to say about a picture. I'm not sure if 3 posts a month with bidbots is considered bidbot abuse but you do realize you've added more content to your post in the one reply above then you have in your last 3 posts?
I realize that pictures say 1000 words but I still think you can do better. It most certainly is a good shot though. My photo posts have evolved quite a bit compared to my first ones and I always try to say as much as I can about it. (Although I haven't posted any photography in quite some time) -- Unless you're just so unbelievably busy that you only have time for 16 words.
There's a photo curation project called #photocircle that encourages photographers to post at least 50 words. I know there's no protocol, and you are free to do as you wish, but not only are you losing ROI by using said bidbots but your content is very...lacking, to say the least. Don't just take my word for it. It's just my opinion.
Thanks for sharing an original photo taken by you.
By the way, my suggestion to add more context/content by typing a few more words has nothing to do with the flag. Have a good day!
Good evening @bitfiend sorry about my late reply as I’m very busy at work. I shall try to reply nicely to your comments. First of all I never claimed that I was a professional photographer (which is somebody that sells his photos!) but rather someone that is passionate about photography. Secondly I am not someone that writes long useless texts just to earn more steems and prefer to let my photos speak for themselves. If people like my photo, a polite thank you in two words should be suffice in my opinion. I am not aware that steemit obligés its members to write a minimum of words. Don’t take this personally but as far as I’m concerned steemit people should be free and not count words or other people’s money or how they spend their money. As you say images speak many words but I think everyone should interpret their own emotions into a photo. I don’t participate in photocycle and prefer to do my own thing. By the way all this has nothing to do with the red flag I received which has meanwhile been sorted so has nothing to do with your comment and will add the link https://steemit.com/photography/@loler555/re-hvr-re-loler555-re-hvr-re-loler555-re-hvr-my-weekly-travel-photo-27-20190418t095122834z Thank you for appreciating my (original photo taken by me).Enjoy your evening
I did mention that what I was saying had nothing to do with the flag, besides the fact that I didn't consider your posting bidbot abuse. Carry on, I still think that you can do better, but no worries -- you're doing just fine.
