I'm ok with bots if used correctly. What is bad is when people get one photo and then pay bots to upvote onto the hot lists. This blocks good content and hurts the reputation of Steemit.

@spectrumecons You are talking about photos like it is something easy to create. As a photographer I have photos I worked on many weeks :) Both in field and in postproduction
@ansharphoto yours are masterpiece of course they are not the one @spectrumecons was referring to. The photos or post that he mentioned are those with low quality, unclear source and lack of elaboration (if it's attached to a post). I agree with @spectrumecons some post were even not properly written and being translated by google translate and just got pasted without being reviewed or edited. It is a pain but, it happens everywhere. Group power possession and delegation always win. So strategy does play a big role in this platform. Anyway thanks for sharing @spectrumecons. I myself still learn and still couldn't understand the whole system here :D
@purplebee Good point, I agree. In original comment I just wanted to mention that there photos which includes a lot of photographer work and time even if it seems from out side as a click of button :)
I could see that @ansharphoto ^^
By the way I am your new fan :D lol
@purplebee Great, welcome!
Good point. I am a photographer too, mostly. Though at the hobby end. I am thinking of creating more compelling photos but I believe that the tagging system in steemit hides good professional photography amongst pictures of food, bikes and bus stations that flood the photography feeds.
@tomcarpenter Yes, main tag "photography" is flooded will low quality photos, check tag "photofeed" and account @photofeed - it was created specially for high quality photo works recently
This is why I need to get a camera and stop using my android.
@ansharphoto Thanks for your comment. I think your photos and website are outstanding.
I would love to go North again, with a good camera this time as most of my Scotland shots were taken several years ago, with few megapixels and before raw files.
I am living in Surrey, which is "nice" but not dramatic for landscape shots.
I have also looked at the @photofeed tag and tried it out. I posted and went on Discord as they suggest.
I don't really see a benefit for the bulk of photo posters.
Views and upvotes depend on being selected by the curators.
I was hoping it would be a rising sea for all photographers rather than another competition format.
No disrespect meant. I was referring to copied images etc. not professional original work.
100% true but steemit giving freedom to everyone that they can upvote anyone anytime they want until unless they dont have enough SP. Like i said i spend 4 hrs to crate content but it went to waste not even 10 views .. but at the same time i can't blame other steemians for that.. you got do what you got a do ..thanks
