deviantART Popularity Contest

   Amongst the retards- sorry, “deviants”- there seems to be a growing rift. The issue is a simple one: Should deviantART be a popularity contest? The stupidity it would require to even care about such a minor issue is beyond me, but I'll still attempt to waste away your pitiful arguments.

   For starters, “popularity” has just become a massive buzz word. What the bloody fuck is it supposed to MEAN? Lots of pageviews? Lots of favorites? Lots of watchers? Or, how about the way I see it- a lot of people who read/see what you produce, and happen to like it?

   It's a fucking public website where you post art, in the hopes that people will see it. How can you NOT want popularity? “Oh, the art matters, not the numbers!” Well, where do you think the numbers come from? Socialite asshats who only stalk you because you're friends and, of course, people who really ARE interested in whatever piece of shit you let the entire world see.

   Besides, how are you going to know whether or not your “art” is good, if no one ever see's it? More importantly, why do you care- if you're so fucking obsessed with the beauty that is art, work on that, instead of whining that other people are more popular than you.

   That's what I think the problem stems from; a bunch of peopl who don't have as many views as they want. They're not complaining for attention, but they just feel it's unfair that the amazingly popular people get over 9000 views every second. Which goes back to what I just said: Stop whining and get back to work.
