Sorry for my earlier comment, my bot detected that this has a high potential to trend, I would be interested in it and picked something that amounts to "I don't understand it enough to say anything". She's a work in progress. Anyways this was excellent, I love photo blog posts like this. I'll work on her tonight and help her understand these types of posts better.
She did an excellent job pointing me here though!
What did you not understand?
I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Have a great day,
Steem on,

Hehe, thanks for your patience. You were chosen by a custom bot I wrote that picks out stuff I might like and that has a high probability of trending. She gives you an upvote and a quick comment to attempt to kick you over the goalpost. But she doesn't understand photo heavy content and rather than not say anything at all, she posts what amounts to a call for me to come look quickly.
I'm detailing her development on my own blog.
Congratulations to you... I am impressed with the creativity you have shown writing/using such a bot.
Steem on,
Mike
Thank you for the wonderful comment. I am delighted.
I honestly believe that personal AI agents that do not require google or facebook snooping are the future.
Steemit alone has entirely too much content to be able to parse it all. Following doesn't work so well because of the amount of accounts that end up abandoned or sold.
So having your own bot, that is able to find stuff that suits your tastes is the way to go. Bonus points if the bot is able to find underrated content like yours and give it a little push.
I'm super excited to release her code, once I know she won't fill the comment boards with spammy looking useless comments.
Things like photo heavy blogs are especially a challenge. She doesn't have the ability to see the photo, let alone interpret what it might be. Her development thus far has been strictly about natural language processing. But she picked up on the fact that I like pretty photos anyways because she sees there's an image link there. She just doesn't understand what the link is. So she's really trying to say "I know Sara likes things like this, but I don't understand what it is and therefore I have no context to say something insightful".
I have some ideas on how I might compensate for her lack of vision (mainly giving her some sort of rudimentary vision using image classifiers), but there is a dollar cost for that kind of processing power and right now I just don't earn enough either from upvoting and curating or in my day job to make that financially attractive. So I'm stuck explaining the very odd comments she makes everytime she sees a photoblog I might like.
Again thanks for your patience!
I am not sure if this helps with the photos your bot discovers, but here is what I do. I use tags in my photos. This allows discovery of the photos by Google when people are searching for particular images. For example, my sunrise photos always contain the tag, "sunrise".
If you need help earning on SteemIt, here are a few tips for my blog posts:
I like helping new users on SteemIt.
I am a retired software developer, my programming expertise was scientific programming in FORTRAN.
It will be interesting to see your code. Maybe you can help me learn to explore the blockchain.
You earned a new follower. I look forward to seeing your future blog posts.
Have a great weekend!
Steem on,
Mike
