I asked why there had only been 1 photo in the i500 in 2 months. What was the problem ?
This was the reply.

There is no problem, and nothing needs looking into. The algorithm changed in mid march, I think. It changes fairly often. ( it changed February 22nd )
It appears to me that if you appeared regularly within interestingess, but now other people do, then it is working perfectly - it is showing people photo's and users that they may not have seen. It is a means of discovering, not showcasing. ( not show casing then how can it be random ? )
The fact that you had a good run and are now not appearing is a good thing, in my opinion. To have continued that trend (along with the same behaviour for other users) would just mean that the same group of users (500 or so) were just rotated around in Interestingess and as such it would just become a small, cliquey group pool and essentially be pointless. Certainly not interesting. ( it was interesting before when there were only 2, 000 memebers and now if we get it it isn't ? )
Tired statement about interestingness again (although still valid: ( Tired ? What don't like being put on the spot ? )
Getting a photo on interestingness is not an achievement, nor a declaration of worth or status. It is just a 'nice thing to have'. It means that others have had the chance to find your photo's. ( Yes, it is a nice thing to have, it isn't a right, I only asked why none for 2 months, random images ?, no way it's random )
To want to hog interestingness is pretty selfish, really. Others should get the chance for exposure too, surely, or your photo may have never made it at all in the first place. Then you'd have no misunderstanding to complain about. ( 1 photo per day in 500, that's your definition of hogging ? )
They are always rude and always resort to belittling.
They haven't just changed the programming they have made sure several people get nothing in there.
May as well talk to my boot !
This is my last whinge as there is really no point.
