Why This Bot's Crappy Photos Got Way More Likes, Favorites and Comments than Your Good Ones

The double-edged sword that is the Internet...

Also, the very first line of text is becoming too true with what I'm seeing, especially on Facebook. But again, it is Facebook afterall. -_-

Finding people to say they like whatever I'm doing at any given moment, really, is pretty easy; most people want to be polite, not hurt my feeling's etc. and so tend to say things along those lines to be pleasant and sociable. Nothing wrong with that in my book but I take that for what it is: a polite comment, typically, from someone who really doesn't know if one of my shots is total crap, passably good, or really, really good. When I want/need legitimate feedback there are people I specifically ask to critique. I'm fortunate that my job surrounds me with professional artists that I can turn to for feedback. Getting compliments is nice, but I don't grow as a photographer from compliments; I grow as a photographer from qualified feedback. For me, the internet is primarily for entertainment.

I think there are to many "Phototakers" out there who are charging money to take pictures because of to many likes on facebook and instagram etc. All their friends and family keep telling them how great their pictures are when what they are really saving is "You have a cute kid"

There are only two types; those that take photos and those that make photos. The first have it easy, they only need to push a button.
