Is posting about "overrated" items overrated?

Just curious what your thoughts are 😀 😀 😀

(p.s. no harm or foul meant to original "overrated" posters.. just having a bit of a lark here)

this should be a poll.

We really will not know until there is a way to rate threads at RFF.

at the top of each thread there is an option to Rate the thread.

I don't know the answer to Dave's question. I was too busy over the weekend developing and scanning film to read the over-/under-/un-rated threads... 😉🙂

 

[Renzsu]

It's all a bunch of BS if you ask me. People get the spotlight or lose out for all kinds of reasons which often has nothing to do with how they're actually rated.

It looks underrated then.

Absolutely.

I'm also starting to think that the word 'overrated' is vastly overrated.

I think I overrated my interest in this thread 😀 On second thoughts...

I think that's an understatement. 😛

 

[alexnotalex]

No, no, and justifiably so.

 

[Neare]

I think we all overrate our own opinions anyway.

I am glad this is a yes/no question. This way we can arrive at a focused black and white answer, without any confusing gray areas (bokeh?).

I think the value of "overrated" threads is severely underrated. They generate message traffic, increase post counts, and fosters a sense of communities amongst forum participants.

Not to talk about irony development and derivative threads... 🙂

It seems to be a recent phenomena. We'll have to see by the number of views. It will not be as many views as the popular pictures on photo.net get.

So if you want to get high ratings on something photographic, look there.

 

[Juan Valdenebro]

For sure at least some of the members posting in those threads here are obsessed with images and society, and not with numbers: I'm not that unique... 🙂

Cheers,

That thread was just some fun, sit back and get a kick out of it.

 

[dcsang]

Ya.. I was aware that Juan's thread was fun.. same with this one.. I'm not slagging it.. just that I noted that, at least here, once someone asks a question that is subjective in nature there's always a "repeat" question asked by some others. No big deal really.. like I said.. no harm, no foul intended 🙂

Cheers,
Dave

It only matters in the case of Black-vs-Chrome.
