Small Rant

Run if you're not interested in hearing me vent about a small irritation.

Still here?  You brave soul...

So, I know one of the reasons people get on a public forum such as DA is to garner attention and build an audience, we all have that intrinsic need to get our work some attention.  Even I'm guilty of that.

However, I get irritated when someone faves a work of mine, not because they really like my work, that they think it has something special that speaks to them... but because they're looking solely for more numbers to visit their profile.

When a response to a "thank you for faving" is "Look at my Gallery" I realize their fave was not in sincere interest of my work.  They're just trolling for numbers.

I'm sorry people, I visit your profile when I get the fave, how do you think I go about saying  "Thank you" for taking the time? 

That does NOT mean I am going to comment on every gallery I visit - I don't have the kind of time for that.  Don't come back at me and beg for some kind of comment on your work.  I don't expect it of people I fave and you shouldn't expect it from people whom you fave.

If you do, I merely delete your comment and move on with my day.

Have a good morning/day peeps
