Good Bye People Photography Contest
No one can imagine how happy it always made me to offer all of you a platform to share your photos, get inspired by others and just be surrounded by people who share the same passion and love about photography.
After 55 weeks and almost 1000 Steem I gave out in prize money, I've decided to not longer continue this contest.
In my eyes Steemit is turning more and more into a crazy milking farm and people don't care about things like inspiration and passion anymore. It's all about REWARDS. For a lot of people it's even to much to say "Thank you" after winning prizes.
Fairness and equality are 2 of the biggest principles in my eyes, but unfortunately that's not the case for everyone.
I've seen enough of this behavior in the past weeks/months and it honestly makes me incredible sad as I really tried so many things to push the photography community forward. But why trying and trying when people don't give a shit anyway?
Thank you to everyone who participated in my contest! You guys are amazing (most of you at least) and we will see us around anyway, even without my contest.
And Fu** you to everyone who is only here to milk the system in an absolute disgusting manner.
Best,
Chris

Sad to hear that...
Thanks for always participating in my contest @trincowski . You shared many images which gave me a smile. And the most important - You always enjoyed it to participate. Have a good one!
I still cannot believe you're ending this. It's one of the two contests I keep participating and the other one, @pifc, has been running very low on steam, lately. The fun in this place keeps drying up. 😖
I know.. I will continue it as soon as I feel that the behavior changed positively again.. :)
I am !DERANGED and give some away too...

Cheers!
...and still you are doing a great job with @photofeed! But I will miss the portrait contest.
I do understand your sentiments; just yesterdy I published a small rant about the lack of generosity... It is not easy to keep one's motivation, but I hope you will stay with photofeed!
Yeah I just hate inequality and in the past weeks/months I kept seeing it everywhere.
Anyway, I will totally continue with photofeed and keep investing as much time as possible in it to move it forward. Big things are planed with this curation project! Cheers!
ps: I started muting those accounts that fuck with our blockchain. It felt like a desperate measure, but talking didn't go anywehere :(
Now I can even look at trending without too much anger (but some regret!).
Yeah I should mute some of our special users as well! Have a good one, Klaus!

Good morning, Chris!
Sorry to hear that. It was the best photo contest here, I saw a lot of incredible pictures, and some convinced me that I should try to achieve more in photography. 🙁 🙁 🙁
I hope you will continue to develop the @photofeed project.
...
Good morning Alexander,
It's really hard to give something up what I loved to do.. If I see a change in the behavior of people I will bring it back alive again :))
Oh yeah absolutely. All my time will go into the @photofeed project now to push it forward and develop it further!
Thanks! :))
👍 👍 👍
people change... but they mostly change to worse editions (as far as I have seen... just my opinion).
I'm sorry to hear about this Chris, as I've enjoyed participating in this contest whenever I have an adorable picture of my little one. 😢
But I understand you. There are a lot of people who are only here because of greed. Sad but true.
Anyway, hope you stay around even if without the contest @worldcapture. 😊😊
Thank you @gingbabida - I appreciate your kind comment :))
Greed is unfortunately everywhere in our world. I really hate it.. Let's hope that peoples behavior will change so I can bring my contest back on again. But at the moment, it's just to much..
I hope you have a great day! And of course, I will always be around! :))
Hopefully. 😊😊
Have a wonderful day too. 🌞
Well said and I am sorry that you are not continuing. The milking has always been here but after the last hard fork , and the bots were banned, it just brought it out into the open more.
I hope you have change of heart, don't let's others behaviour put you off. Curate harder and ignore and downvote what you personally consider acceptable.
Whatever you ultimately do, best wishes to you . Regularly looking at the competition entries , you will be missed.
PS if people can't even be bothered to say thank you , mute em and flag em . Ungrateful people have no place here.

Thanks for you comment @nathen007 - I really appreciate it! The problem is not only my contest, it's the overall milking behavior. I know a lot of people who clearly cheat to abuse the reward system..
Fairness and equality are 2 of the biggest principles in my eyes, but unfortunately that's not the case for everyone.
Again, thank you very much. I'm sometimes even surprised that people actually reading what I write - Even it was a rant today (My first one so far.. and hopefully the last one)
Hope you have a great week ahead! :))
It's always a matter of your decision, buddy. I thank you for all those wonderful weeks and photos gathered around your initiative.
Cheers, to change!
Thanks for your amazing entries through the 55 weeks, my friend! :))
I think I skipped a few but that must have been because of time flying by too quickly to register ;)
I´m sorry for that, but totally understand what you´re saying. Hopefully you can come back with the contest in the future.
Thanks my friend! I hope so too! I love the contest and I will continue it as soon as I see a change in the behavior of the users here. I hope it will turn around in the future! :))

There it goes another initiative that made Steemit great place… Very sorry to hear that, @worldcapture. Best of luck whatever you do.
Thanks for your support and entries since the beginning @lighteye - I hope to be back up with the contest soon. I already regret the decision a little but this has to be a sign that the behavior of some ppl just sucks. Cheers! :))
I am so sorry to hear this news but after our last conversations, I totally understand your decision. I have had this kind of people in my contests too :( Thank you so much for hosting this legendary contest for so long my friend.

Thanks for your support my friend. "Hope dies last" - Let's see how things go and I will definitely bring the contest back online again if I see a change in behavior on this Blockchain. Thanks! :))
can understand you very good. The time changed the Steemit users complete. Its long time since there was full of people... now only view are left here.
It's really sad to see but I still hope that the behavior of people will change again. People just need to learn to work together and not against each other. Cheers man!
Sad you see you go but i can relate to how you are feeling the principles seemed to have gone out the window with some people and greed is more in there interest it's getting to be a pretty sad world.
Take care buddy and i always enjoyed your contest i learned a lot from it i hope you do come back again one day. Cheers :))
Thanks for you comment! Let's hope that things will change to the good again :)) Cheers!
Let's hope so for the better :))
Honestly, I would like to have the opportunity to be able to join this extraordinary contest. Maybe I'm late — that's what I understand.
and I totally agree with your opinion.
As a new player who loves steemit, I feel steemit is only for those who have high SP.
Steemit feels that there is no communication between people, still seeing caste, and tolerance for mutual support is minimal.
that's what I feel today as a beginner.
Thanks My friend
I fully appreciate your extraordinary contest
I appreacite your commment @wira8788 - We gotta keep fighting, that's for sure! I see you are communicating quite a lot and I really wish that you keep that up. Don't turn silent and post content as a robot without speaking a word, as many other :D - Have a great day! :))
yes, life is an experience to share.
Thank you guys for your support
Oh! This is too sudden for me! I always look out for your beautiful photos and wonder when I could take photos like yours!
There will always be good and bad people everywhere! Very sad to see you go like this! You probably had seen too much ugliness in this world. Let go of those negative energies.
Follow more positive resonance! I know you will succeed very well in all that you choose to do!
I have to find out if they have a fried rice competition at the temple next year! Then, you’ll enter the contest!!
Hope to meet up some day when the planetary conjunctions afford clear and auspicious and healthy atmosphere!
Good luck and all the best!
Thank you my friend! Well I've seen many people cheating and abusing the system in the last weeks/months - That was the reason for my decision to set a "sign". It's not necessarily about my contest, just the overall behavior. I know It will come back at one point :))
Hahaha Fried rice competition!! That would be great fun!! - We will definitely meet up as soon as Bangkok finally get's this terrible pollution under control.
Wish you a great day buddy!
Thank you very much!
Have a wonderful week!
That is sad news but i totally understand where your coming from they are my principles also and it's a shame to see some people disregarding that an simply thank you or a smile can change any ones day i do hope to see you back some day....Cheers buddy 😊
Exactly. I'll just keep moving forward for now with my other project and let's see, maybe the contest comes back one day :)) Cheers bud!
Thanks Chris and let me know if your in Bangkok love to catch up for a beer with you 👍 🍺 👍

How unfortunate it is to hear that news. The truth is that this contest is still one of the best in photography on the platform. Thanks to you I understood that the photos are not given just like that, they have a process to improve or improve them. If you decide to continue here I will be supporting you with the little I know.
good bye, contest, and hello, Chris. I hope you stay and we will see a lot more great pics from you from distant parts of the world..
