There's even a really poor video of a man with a bear on his leg. (making nearly $400 atm) c'mon ffs
- its not even a photograph.
- its very poor quality.
- I don't believe it is the posters own work.
It seems there are quite a few images on steemit with very little quality, creativity and ability.
Some putting very little effort in and people helping them get paid.
Some people cant be bothered to straighten their horizon line. and i dont just mean a liitle bit off, ive seen pics where the horizon line is nearly a diagonal. or the sky is bleached out or its vastly over/under exposed.
People are using the tag photography just because its got a pic in. well just about every post
has got a pic on steemit, surely the photography tag should be used for good photography?
not just any old holiday snap.
As a fully trained advertising photographer i find it a tad annoying that some peeps can make a fortune from posting a bad image while i make a mediocre amount of my work that i spent many many hours on.
I love photography as an artform and i hate to see it abused.
Then there's the problem with blatant plagiarism and copyright theft. we all no it goes on but do you have to upvote it?
surely all this this is giving steemit a bad name and diluting the quality of some really outstanding work on here.
There are plenty of good photographers on here, enough for us to decide what we want the category photography to be. Please start being a bit more active.
we all like to post and get some revenue bt we also have a job to do in the form of curating and vetting. if we don't do that, we all lose out in the long run.
I don't know about you but i'm here for the duration not just the quick buck.
