I submitted all my work to several clubs, went all over the web, spent days building up my traffic on both DA and SA, what's the difference?
The same stuff on DA got at least 10-20 views, despite having 10X more fans here on SA. But all my new stuff here has 1-3 views and -1 scores. SA just freaking sucks now, I'm sorry. I don't need traffic and fans showering me with comments and crap to feel good, but damn, after a week's worth of effort, I'd think the results would show more.
This is not a guilt trip, again, I don't actually care, just, damn...

Sorry, I've been meaning to look through your art, but there's so much of it, I'm really lazy, and I spend most of my time here talking to friends. Sadly, this site has had a disproportionately larger focus on the social networking than on the art itself.

it seems to reset the veiws every day

Forgive me, but I only comment if I have something useful to say, or if I think someone's in dire need of a self-esteem boost, or if I know the person and want to remind them that I exist. I might comment on political art or a lovely piece that has one thing out of place (like an anatomy mistake), and I might comment on my sister's works to tell her she's getting better at... recoloring pokemon.
I usually don't comment because I find that if I say anything more than "Hay ur arts cool" people take it the wrong way.

*chuckles* the journal came out wrong, horribly wrong - but I get what you're saying
it's extra-frustrating to me, because I need feedback - I know my art is 'teh suck' but I want to get better at it, and knowing where to focus on improving is sorta necessary
Not entirely sure what's going on with SA to be honest, often times when I put something up I find it's been down-rated once or twice, no one's commented on it - and that's always a bummer.
I mean, if someone would downrate - least they could do is leave a little snippit of why, yeah?
SailorPoipoi Says:
I stopped commenting this week because I was lil Turned off by your last poll. Putting up names you didn't even plan on considering? Sorry but that can annoy people.
Here are some names... + oh umm I wasn't going to use that idea cause blah blah blah = me going " then why ask? " I get enough fun having then Bus driver ( whom I work with ) pulling that on me.
Maybe that makes me a bad person. Or a B*tch. Honestly, I have enough stress in life not to try worrying about it anymore. Thats just how I feel.
TehD Says:
First of all, don't go by the view counter on SA. They reset like, every few seconds. Hell, I don't even think it counts 99% of the views you actually get.
otherwise. This place has been dying. People'r leaving left and right.

This is what I hate most about SA-you put a lot of effort in a pic, only to have people down-rate it, and they don't even have the balls to say why they did it :/ Can't say I care about the amount of views, though...
Chazzie Says:
Yeah, I started nearly forgetting to post my art here because people favorite but they don't comment unless they know me already. I get more honest comments and new people on dA. Which I always thought would be IMPOSSIBLE. o-O
Grape juice Says:
Interesting because the opposite is happening to me.
My newest entry Astronaut has had more comments/favs/views than the one I submitted on DA. Rarely do I have someone just randomly comment/fav an artwork on DA.
Other than that, I've noticed a huge decline in Sheezy. I can see why. Just look at the front page, that might give a clue. :/
