RE: Color Challenge Monday-Red Depth of Field
Really beautiful image of a rose, and a good explanation of DOF.
tuyetthi is driving me crazy! It's a spam bot, as far as I can tell! Never Upvotes, but has all these stupid canned comments fro anything in photography!
I usually give canned comments a relatively canned reply. Thank you for actually reading the post. I love to interact with my readers and develop conversations that lead to finding mutual interests and learning new things.
I'm happy that you found value in my explanation of depth of field and hope that the deeper human depth of field experiment brings you great value as well.
When you do that, he/she/it earns money I have learned! That's what they are hoping for. I have just reported it because that one is driving me to distraction, because so many are responding!
How do they earn money from a reply? I thought it had to be upvoted ...
I'm not sure there's a resolution for spambots
No, the curation awards come from managing to engage someone in a conversation. When you comment on someone's post, you earn a certain percentage of the payout for curation. I don't know the whole story about how it works.
The more discussion you have on your post, the better it is for you, but those commenting get a small percentage too. Seemingly the people who create the bots do nothing but sit back and wait for the money coming in from thousands and thousands of stupid remarks! I was answering them all back at the beginning too, but I have learned from other posts not to do that.
Steemitabuse does flag some of them rendering them useless!
I see. That's interesting knowledge as I am pretty heavy on post engagement. I feel that discussion makes the platform valuable.
I'm not sure how exactly it works. If you Google it, you will find the posts on here relating to it. I find it easier to Google than to search on here! I should search again to try to find out more. There is a timing thing with it too. The bots rely on answers because they comment too soon, I believe!
