I've been here for over a year now. This activity makes me want to use Steemit less. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
In my last post, I announced that the first roll of film in my 35mm photo-per-day project was expelled and ready for processing. I posted a single image of the film roll itself to go along with it. For any intelligent person who actually read the 2 whole sentences that I made in that post, you would've realized that the image of the roll of film was not intended as a showcased or artsy photo in the least. It's just a cell phone pic of the roll that came from my camera. That's it. But all the replies I got were canned bullshit that appear to be programmed replies for posts that show up with the "photography" tag. I don't think a single one of them was an actual human being.
Here was my post - I mean really, you don't have to read TOO carefully.
And here were the responses I got.
If even a single one of those were a living, breathing human being, then their reading skills are severely lacking. Otherwise, 100% bots. I mean seriously, one of them mentioned how beautiful the hat was. DO YOU SEE A HAT IN THAT PICTURE?
This is incredibly discouraging because genuine comments are ammunition for good conversation. I can't reply to a single one of those comments, because either A) none of them are human, or B) none of them understood this simple post at all and starting a conversation from that foundation would be nearly impossible.
From now on if you comment with canned drivel, expect a flag & mute.
