I upvoted it since the photo is good not because of agreeing with your sarcasm. Take your opportunity instead with keeping good work instead of being negative Joe.
While I appreciate that, by no means am I trying to be negative and to be more accurately anything directed specifically at you. The issue lies with the whales associated with you choosing to vote up content creators rather than content, which is a determent, not only to the platform but the other photographers you share the platform with. I want to see you post and continue to post and grow with the rest of the photographers here as well.
I have never asked any upvote to whales you mentioned, and they also don't vote for every single work of mine. It's just their preferences and I cannot control them. I just keep sharing my photos that I like.
Getting discovered needs some time. Actually, I posted my most favorite photos during the last several weeks, got fair but not that big rewards, and was very satisfied with them. Recent big payouts are really more than I expected (and I thought some of the photos were just so so to me), however, this is not because I pledged upvote to whales but because some people begin to be interested to my works.
You haven't been "discovered" you know these whales, they're friends. Just be honest, certain you've even mentioned in the past, "wouldn't you upvote your friends too".
Are you saying about @winstonwolfe 's comment? I haven't said that.
Your logic is interesting... I know you right now and are we friends? Can you prove that whales have reciprocal upvotes?
Perhaps I did with Winston's comment. and if so sorry; however I find it unlikely you have no association with the aforementioned whales. I wasn't saying you did convert it to BW, just that is comment I could see from other respected pros, meaning, take what they say with a grain of salt; being professional doesn't make one good :) I have nothing against you personally and friends, sure, like I said, it's not you, persay and aside from the out of balance rewards, I quite like your posts to some degree :)
And FYI, you downvoted this post, but this one is somewhat praised by a real professional photographer. (You also criticized Michael Kenna's work too...) Your prejudice is ruining your judgement.
My criticism of the piece stands, regardless of who he is. Being a famous photographer/artists doesn't remove ones self from criticism. And to be fair I know several professional photogs who might disagree and say you took a snapshot of a messy room and converted it to BW to be "artsy". Again though it's not so much a criticism of your work.
The photo is not converted. It's real BW photo (film) that I developed and printed. Again, you just proved that you have very biased perspective in a bad way.
dud you misunderstood my comment, I never said you stole anything from my gf LOL... I just confirmed that current injustice in this ecosystem and that many stolen posts get rich with no effort... thats what I meant... and thx for that vote tho.. lol.. cheers.
Little salty, but quality
Appreciated, and it's meant to be. The post is more a social commentary on things like this on the platform:
This image 1.8K - Mine above, likely $0.39.

Nice pic, needs a bit more cleavage.
Damnit Barry, where were you when I was taking this ;)

Not sure how I got brought into this.

to get a point "clayop" is a known member of the bitshares community and I suspect it is the same person. So old connections.
You point is accepted. I can say there's a lot of gaps between "trending" posts and others. So I think that the problem is the layout.

Hour in and we got $0.03. 2k in no time right? ha
He's doing better than me. :)
HEY! I live near there!
His sarcasm has made more money in 4 hours, than my gf introduction with the work of her life and a great succes story with many original photos, that took hours to redact and then translate from spanish and made 2 dollars in a week, check https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@adrianakgb/hello-steemit-i-m-a-community-manager-from-venezuela-and-this-is-a-summary-of-my-life-and-a-succes-history ....Yes thats how things work here... Sarcasm and bullshit stolen posts pay much more.
My sarcasm was meant to point a light at a current injustice in the platforms ecosystem, not steal from your gf. I did upvote her to be kind though :)

Trade you an upvote for an upvote!? My collection 3 years in the making.

You're not rich enough to be given 2k? you get nothing for nothing. Get rich if you want to get money.
;)
haha, Well isn't that a Catch 22 ;)
