Due to being somewhat professional and seeking paid work, I use Instagram, Flickr and Facebook. Facebook gets me the most work, Flickr for sharing images with client, Instagram just to be seemingly part of the 'scene' (it's somewhat expected from some clients for you to have Insta, and even 'flick' some 'live shots' (SOOCs) of the day as it unfolds..
As I'm an amateur and do not earn from the hobby (my hobby, but many of the forums' profession) I keep to the lowest profile. I even forbade my mother from the source where I post my non-family shots (flickr), lol.

So I finally found a real life Flickr oddity, the second time I have found such a person (the first one I lost). This guy this morning went and faved a heap of my shots;

? Gareth Trefor Llompart | Flickr

So when that happens I check out their work. Some nice stuff in his photostream. So then I start looking at the view and fav count of his shots, and here's where it gets interesting and mimics one other Flickr user I once found. Every shot (and I mean every shot no matter good or bad) has a very high view and fav count as well as comments. I can understand some of his work having a high view and fav count... but EVERY SHOT?

Like this for example;

6k views and 824 faves and 16 comments.



Or how about this one, 21k views, 1.4k favs, 21 comments, what a masterpiece!



29k views, 1.3k favs, 25 comments



Don't get me wrong, there is some lovely work in his photostream, I just don't quite understand the attention he is getting. There was one other account I found like this, it was all landscape work and even higher view and fav counts.

Does anyone know what's going on here?
My guess would be that he is someone who uses a bot to post positive comments on other people's photostreams (or maybe he does it himself). The only way to know is to look at his faves and see how many images he faves a day and how many comments he makes on those things. I don't think it helps you get explored, but it certainly get you a lot of reciprocal faves.
