RE: Introducing photomatcher: reverse image search bot for photo posts

in #steemdev7 years ago (edited)

Ok, there are some features that need to be added (and tested) before it can be activated broadly. I notice that some posts use photo's that are on google labeled as "labeled for reuse". Example vs Google. Are you taking this into account and is this just a glitch? Or is this not part of the algorithm that you developed.

What I think should be a good plan:

  • Stop the bot for time being
  • Create a new post that covers the checks that you do
  • Gather feedback
  • Implement useful ideas
  • Affiliate with steemcleaners if possible
  • Do proper testing
  • Then launch

I have to agree with @arthur.grafo that if smells fishy this way. Is it about getting the bot into action asap (without considering people's reputation)? Or is it about having a good working bot?

Sort:  

I stopped the bot for now and I agree I have to test it more thoroughly. I appreciate all the feedback so far.

I'd like to emphasize that I got this idea because I read many complaints on Steem about people taking advantage of someone else's content without permission. Maybe I should rewrite the bot's texts a bit, I see some people get offended by it (even though I never meant to accuse anyone of plagiarism), so it might need a different 'tone of voice'.

Again, thank you for your feedback. I wanted to test the bot as much as possible 'in the open' and gathered many new insights this way. Now it's time for further development and I will update you all soon!
