I don't want to sound obsessed with likes and ranking but I am concerned about it. I don't know if this is true but I believe that likes, favorites and comments are going down. I believe that is happening because people want to increase their ranking. I will like anything as long as its not a terrible picture and most of the time I will comment. I am not trying to sound like I am obsessed I just ES to be a fun place where people can give others feedback and likes.
Thanks,
Isaac

I'm not sure if it's a result of the spotter ratings, but I have definitely noticed a decrease in the number of likes that photos are getting.

Agreed. I've also noticed people commenting positive things and not even liking!

Do you mean not even liking?

I agree I posted a f430 and it only has 15 likes.

I agree. I remember when my 458 Italias used to get 30 something likes each, but now they are only getting 12 likes at the most. I posted a Mclaren MP4-12C with an Arnage and a 911. That only got 28 likes while Andrew's photo of just a Mclaren MP4-12C Spyder currently stands at 37 likes and 9 favorites. Something's going on, and whatever it is, I'm not liking it.

Yeah my bad haha

Im not either. I posted a f430 that only got 15 likes and I posted a jag e-type with the f430 which only got 17. They always used to get over 20!!! I am so confused.

I think the other reason could be is that it seems like a lot of the "regulars" on ES are leaving. I think all of us should go on a scouting mission lol to get more people to join!

I posted a Gallardo, R8 and F430 combo which got 28ish likes!

What regulars left?

I think it now depends on the spotter, and not the spot itself. If you want a good example, go to Teresa's user page

i dont think people took to the "no more high quality photos" and the new rating system

. Lambohead
. Pinin
. JWheel (for some time)
. Teresa (for some time)

Well many left but came back so it kinda felt like that I guess... idk
