I'm a Steemit newbie and don't quite get how things work here but what I've noticed is that in terms of pictures people treat this platform like an instagram or even snapchat. It's ok to post sh*tty pics on instagram - it's just your daily life, it shouldn't be a masterpiece. What if authors have same attitude to pictures here?
If it was only insta-like behavior - that's ok, but participate in contests that have titles something like "professionalphotocontest" with rewards and when the reward is a real money, even not so small as to take them as a joke. )) I'm getting cognitive dissonance amid all this!
What if they just honestly don't see the difference between right and wrong? ))))
