I must respectfully disagree. As I said, if those shots were made by minnnows those people wouldn't care and wouldn't bother. If those people actually care about sunset shots, I challenge them to make a meaningful comment on those great sunset shots I found by sorting by new:
-https://steemit.com/photography/@pubix/the-daily-sunset-07-07-2017
-https://steemit.com/photography/@tattoodjay/golden-below-the-clouds-rays-of-light-above
-https://steemit.com/photography/@nandas/6uadg-sunsets
If you call being honest and caring about steemit rude, very well, that is indeed your opinion; on that point I respectfully disagree as well.
You've got a point there. I agree with that. But it is not correct for everyone. People are not noticing these posts because they have less power. If these posts are visible long enough they will get comments too. The problem is posts by minnows like us are not getting enough views because they are not displayed long enough since new posts are published at a higher rate.
You know we have a few open positions for curators on @ocd. If you wanna spend more time finding newcomers that have gotten missed in the masses and should be rewarded more you are welcome to join. :)
Other than that, judging rewards of certain users by their content and comparing it to others is pretty subjective.
