Why the FUCK do you need to update your software. You are a faggo and you deserve what happened to you. Every CC update for the past 3-4 years is just "let's automat x function that people use a lot/let's built in this popular plugin into our software!"

I'm on CC 2015 and I only updated cause some plugins I depend on for retouching weren't compatible anymore.

Don't be a bitch and learn to actually do your shit.

Being a female I always get alot of other chicks expecting me to give them free shoots because of stupid logic like "fellow queens fix each other's crowns" they think I'm not supporting women if I don't do it free.
Nah bitches. Your not a queen if you can't afford it

Started out shooting local bands for free because I liked doing it. Everyone invited me to their shows. Started charging ($50) because after some time I got good at that style. People stopped inviting me out to shows.

Every time I know it'll happen. You start charging and all the "friends" you thought you made/we're making through shooting for free disappear. I know it's coming but it still hurts a little when it inevitable does happen.

If it’s a landscape, he might be counting the time hiking to the spot and/or waiting for the weather/celestial bodies to align properly. And if he’s shooting large format—which isn’t outside the realm of possibility if he’s shelling out for a drum scan—you can just legitimately spend a big chunk of time getting your framing, movements, focus, etc correct.

>PR guy throws a shit fit because he thinks I've invaded his safe space or something.

like, the people you invite threaten me and were really close to hurting me, you fully know that if they hurt me you'd be into deep shit and nothing is happening literally just because I choose to not whine about it because I know people in clubs are retarded, and you have the balls to throw a fit at me, blaming me for shit I didn't do?

I'm planning revenge on this guy. He's a 20-something rich fuck that thinks he's entitled to the world because he has rich friends. I'm just waiting for my chance to fuck his day over, I don't usually hold grudges but this guy just needs a good punishment, god.

Grow a backbone, you work in a club where alcohol and emotions run freely.
Assert yourself, tell them you're meant to be here, flash an official badge or something. Insist you can get them banned for fucking with employees even if its a bluff, don't make it about yourself. Take self-defence courses if need be.

No-one cares if they're in the wrong, point is you essentially cried for mommy and that makes you look like "that weak faggot with the camera" they're going to make the butt of a joke about to their buddies forever. No wonder the club is reluctant to do anything about it because they're *in the fucking VIP section* which translates as *responsible for 50%+ of their business* that night.

Be smart when working. You can't expect a defenseless young woman to dress provacatively in a bad neighborhood will come out without a scratch. Adapt to your fucking environment or find a different gig, like baby showers or weddings.

Yes they are fake followers. The only followers you're getting are people running the same bot as you which is why you get maybe 4 comments every post, if that, and they all look automated. Nobody cares about your photography in the slightest.

Here's Alex Burke for comparison, organic and steady growth with 4x the engagement. Not pits and valleys of hammering away with a fucking bot like a desperate bitch.

What?? Do you even know how bots work? You aren't gathering fake followers. All you're doing is liking and following/unfollowing other users, which make it more likely that they'll look at your IG, and follow you. If they were bots, they would unfollow you in a day, and would not count towards your follower count. So how are you understanding this differently?

I've been running an engagement bot for a little over a year now, and seen nothing but good come from it

So someone who has followed and unfollowed over 20k+ profiles since July 2018 has only marginally better growth than someone who went from 125 to 175 followings in the same period.

Marginally better? I've gained 5k followers since july. I'd guess that qualifies as better than "marginal". I personally don't see what's wrong with it following and unfollowing someone. If they like your photos, they can follow you, if they don't they ignore you.

This mentality only works if you delude yourself into thinking everyone you're following/unfollowing isn't using the exact same bot as you, which is why Hypeauditor flags it as "possible inauthentic audience". You get in a feedback loop of people using the same bot as you with all the shallow and fake engagement that brings with it.

In the end what matters is engagement, and Chosis has almost none compared to Alex Burke. Barely anybody comments on his work, nobody buys his prints, and despite having 6k "follows" he got none of it legitimately. That means his audience is inauthentic other than as a number on his profile he can delude himself into thinking is real.

You still don't understand. What you're claiming is that almost ALL of the followers gained are through other people following and unfollowing like you. So if that's the case, wouldn't that mean that your growth would also disappear because those people would unfollow you? That's what you're not understanding about bots, you're not buying bots, YOU are the bot. This isn't buying fake followers, it's engaging with real people.

Also, how would it work that because you use a bot, all of the sudden, now only other bots are seeing your work? The same people that see alex's stuff, see my stuff.

>In the end what matters is engagement, and Chosis has almost none compared to Alex Burke

Well good thing I'm not chosis. Chosis's photos suck ass. I have good engagement on my photos. My images average over 1200 likes each, some even getting as high as 5k likes. Other than automating my account, i've never purchased followers or likes.

Some people have different motivations though. Alex is a great photographer, and a nice guy. He's in a great position that he's done the work that he can now make a living off photography, which allows him to always be out and taking photos to post on IG. People like me on the other hand, I can only make a couple photo trips a year. I work inside all day. So I just don't have the ability right now to post constant new content

Why would they unfollow you if you follow them first through your bot if the only thing they're craving is bigger numbers on their account? Why would their or your bot even unfollow someone who already has the desired outcome (following them/you). Surely if you follow someone, and their automated account follows you back, then that's the end of it. That's why I was talking about a potential feedback loop of everyone autoliking, autocommenting and autofollowing each other.

I'm not saying ALL the people who get hit by a follow bot are also using bots, I'm sure some check out your profile and think "wow how cool, I'll give it a follow". I'm just saying it comes across as desperate and since Chosis has repeatedly lied that he's never used a bot before it's hilarious to see proof that he is, especially in light of all his other proven lies lately.

>Surely if you follow someone, and their automated account follows you back, then that's the end of it.
That's just not how it works. My bot doesn't just follow people back, it targets people very precicesly.

For example. I could target any user that follows alexburke, and has been active in the last 10 days.

Or I could target any user that has commented or liked a specific photo that alex burke has posted.

I can whittle it down even further, ensuring they are following under a certain amount of people. So i target users that are following under 300 accounts, to ensure that I fill a larger percentage of their feed.

So it's not just randomly following people that are following me, that's absurd. It's targeting users that have a very high potential to like my stuff because they've already qualified themselves by following a similar account.

Fun fact, I have targeted alexburkes followers before.
