OK , the sponsors are NOT paying per picture, so it's not about that at all. I will take a sequence of shots, some of them nearly identical yes, if I feel they are all good, let the subject or the viewer decide which one they like best. It's like publishing a contact sheet from the film days.
Also sometimes people make gifs out of them. Actually I have cut down on the # of sequential shots. When editing them if the shot is decent enough, I will leave it up, like I say, let the viewer decide which one they like best.
Sorry to have annoyed some of you, I will do the best to improve the situation in future events.
