(28 Oct 2015, 6:49 pm)GX03 SVC CBA to upload any more photos to Flickr, its just the same people faving and commenting on them. I'm getting an average of 1/2 when I used to have at least 6/7.
Followers have also plummeted, had 180 now I'm down to 171.
I think I have asked this before (maybe not to you), but why the fascination with getting likes/faves and having followers?
It isn't me having a go at all. Just trying to understand why.
Is it like when people post something on twitter (for rt's) or on fb (for likes) and all of this 'like for a like', 'follow for a follow' stuff that goes on?
Genuinely don't get any of the politics or tactical uploading that goes on either.
I have given up looking at Flickr photos, mainly because there isn't much difference between accounts and it seems to be all about getting 'the photo', before anyone else does. As though it is a big competition, rather than people showing off their photographic talents.
Then, there is the guff that is often being published.
I haven't seen your photos at all, so can't comment and say whether yours are like that or not and if they're any different to other accounts.
Maybe I am missing out!
Not telling you what to do at all. Far from it, but if someone had photos which were unique, different and had something about them - chances are, I would look.
Maybe others would too... Maybe they would favourite, follow and do whatever else they do to photos at the same time!
If you enjoying taking your photos, keep doing it. Don't let other people spoil it.
