RE: Update: Steem-Exif-Spider-bot New Voting and Comments Queues

Why don't you use APP Engine to create a parser and interface for users to generate their own metadata - posting it directly to comments looks like nothing more than comment spamming for upvotes.

I don't know where you learned to code - but you should not be running alpha code in a live environment.
Hehe...it's not even alpha. This is called a/b testing. You sound like you know just enough to know where software comes from, but not at all how it's made. Also, pretty conceited like you think you can do better. You should. Competition is what drives quality, but you already knew that.
Also, private alpha and closed/open beta testing is done on ... live/in-production systems (not test environments).
I mean - adapt your scraper to do what it is doing now (collecting steemit EXIF and formatting it) - but move it to another platform. Then, let a user input their steemit name and present them with pre-formatted exif data which they can link to or include in their posts.

Check (not just a name, but directed content by permlink)
Check (preformatted JSON, that they can then refine and prune for whatever data they want)
So yes, you could create a very useful and refined service which would be unique to steemit - I think a project like that would have a lot of merit.
Here's your demo https://steemit-exif-ms.herokuapp.com/soma909/le-fond-de-l-air-est-rouge-a-grin-without-a-cat-2017-fuji-x100-mk1-tele-conversion-lens
With some mediocre skills, you can extract exactly what fields you want and simultaneously convert it to markdown to include in a post.
