High-quality photos... but there is no imagination / creativity (paragraph 1 from your list). Dolphins. Steemit t-shirts. Too trite and predictable.
No offense. Just IMHO.

Agreed
But there is time, effort and original content and not copy and paste in order to make a quick buck. We need to promote more users to, at least, take the risk of making new content. Sure it isn't portfolio quality work, but how can we blame the photographers and models here for that? It's not like they knew ahead of time what they were going to get paid for their work.
I would say, "If you can do better, then don't complain", but I don't think that argument is worth a crap when others use it. However, please make sure that you are doing the same with whatever your content might be in the future. Sometimes in order to get paid for your work, you have to put high concept and imagination to the side and be simple and effective. This is basic commercial fashion photography we are talking about here and not the cover of a highbrow photos for photographers magazine.
Anyway, thanks for your opinion. Can't say I disagree entirely, just wanted to add some extra perspective.
Cheers
also add to that using the female body as token... I personally find this very tasteless and uninspired. it's the same shit with games and using booth-babes at events.. so unfortunate.
This is a start of sorts, hopefully more photographers can see that original work is being rewarded and next time a more creative and unique photoshoot will get properly rewarded so more photographers will take the risk.
As I've pointed out many times elsewhere, it's the whales that dictate what is worth emulating. If they are willing to upvote something that is more challenging to our sensibilities, the smaller fish will know that it's ok to upvote that material as well. The cycle can then continue as more posts can see that their time isn't wasted if they want to do something similar.
Cheers
I still have issues with the idea that global taste is dictated by the few... it feels like a simulation of real life here... =/
and yes, 'willing' is the keyword there..
