[quote="FireAndSun"]^ I'm with you there. People seem to take disagreeing opinions as a personal attack for some reason. It makes no sense.[/quote]
This is so accurate it hurts.

[quote="GeminiGemelo"][spoiler=I Hate dA Sometimes]It's so discouraging when I upload my friend's art - which is way better than mine, I might add (just look at my avatar) - to our group deviantArt account, only for it to get like... 15 favorites. Like seriously, we have 300-400 watchers, where tf did all those people go? Who is actually paying attention? Do I seriously have to pay more actual real life money to get a feature on dAhub so I can get more? Is that the only thing you can do to get noticed at all? Because the popular folks on dA sure as all f*** don't seem to need to do that, at least as far as I can tell.

Like honestly. I know it's not the art quality, so what is it? What in the name of f*** am I doing wrong? :eyebrow:

Honestly I don't care for petty social media stuff but this is different. This project means a lot to me, and I want people to buy it when it's done. I need to be doing better than this. People need to care. I don't know how to do that. I'm tired of feeling like I'm running on a hamster wheel and getting nowhere. This has honestly been really pissing me off.[/spoiler][/quote]

That happens with everything, though. You'll see it on YouTube a lot as well. I'll use a random example and say Nerdcubed, who I'm watching now, has 2.4 million subscribers. Yet his most popular videos over the past few months haven't even got 500 thousand total views.
So less than a quarter of the people who said "I want to watch more of his videos in the future and be notified when he uploads" are actually watching what he uploads.
I mean doesn't PewDiePie have something like 32 million subscribers and his videos are "only" getting a few million views. So like 20 million people who subscribed to him don't watch him lol.

Hence the number of subscribers or watchers or whatever you get means literally nothing more than any other arbitrary number ever. What you want is retention. And there's ways to improve that. :)

^ This made me think that I absolutely love it when it rains. In fact, I think I prefer rainy days to sunny ones most of the time. I'm weird like that.

Stop thinking about it already, Carl. Just quit. Please. You've got more important things to worry about.

Geez, what's come over me?
