I have closed an account on this site out of frustration. I would say that if you want to be average and get attention this is the place to do it. If you work the system you can get a lot of attention without quality work. People comment to gain points and get awards but it is not for their images. Content is not king here. I would post images that went popular on 500px or made the finals at view bug and I would have 11,000 views and very few likes. I don't want to join a popularity contest I want to gauge the relevance of my work.
