HI, I just saw :iconred-priest-usada: journal about pageview, I just wanna share his tought here, since we have a same oppinion, her gallery is a good too

here the journall:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been wondering recently why dA pageviews is a serious business here?These are only stupid numbers not telling you the truth about the owner's site. Some people believe PVs show the actual state of popularity. Then I am asking are we here for popularity of for sharing our works with others and enjoy it? And do pvs reflect someone's talent? Hell no!!! I know a lot of people who are amazingly skilled and I'm nothing compared to them, still they have less pvs than me #__#;;;. Other example, I know some artists with even 2 or more million visits on their pages and I must say I do not like their artwork at all. Sometimes they lack the basic skills but they had enough luck to get noticed here.

What is really sad is the fact there are people who are only here for the popularity and they are desperately using different methods to get more pvs. Other people and their works are nothing to them. Isn't it just immature?

I also see people who tend to judge others on pvs stats. The more pvs the more person is worth to be friend with : /.
I know people who observe my stats very often and they like to make some strange comments every time I meet them... It's very uncomportable and unpleasant to feel you're just a living number to them.

Really, I do not care much about all the pvs drama but I don't want anybody to be a victim and to get depressed because of such trivial things like pvs desu ;]
In my case, I do not judge numbers- I judge artwork itself. I hope you see my point.

yeah~ lots of peoples here care too much about page views~ I wont say I 100% don't care about it~ of course I would concern a little about views...but I wont take it THAT serious.
and some that got lots of page views only because they draw fanarts of something popular, (its really an easy way to get page views if you draw fan arts that are extreme popular like "NARUTO" |D ) even that you're not "REALLY" that good~ you'll still get lots of views..., though I really dont want that...I want people to like MY ART and my FAN ART... |D

not only pageviews...but also "FAVES" affects it...some people would like..."oh..this artist isnt really that popular or he/she doesnt got that much of faves...its not worth faving it..!" or when a person who got extreme page views updated a stupid art that anyone can draw it, people would say he/she's a funny person~ how cool~ *bla bla bla* and the art still get lots of faves and comments...but if another person which doesnt have much pageviews updated "EXACT SAME" art...well....WHO EVEN CARES?

If they really care about pageviews and popularity more than the ART it self~ then they could just go to "MySpace" |D
I mean "NOT" my fan art |D neglected that ~ LOL
lebih milih commision pasang tarif mahal + laku drpd gedein PV wakwkakwak

kupo~!?!
I think that's a really good thought. I completely agree with it. 8D
Pageviews don't always reflect the quality of the artwork. There are definitely many artists I watch on dA who really deserve so much more recognition, but the main thing is that their art is awesome. ;A;

I be in ur gardenz, hidin' in ur cloverz. 8D
I prefer respected for my art.. tho at times I also check my PV for determining special occasion art like 'thanks for XXXX hits' for those who've been watching us since we began our road in dA..
I still talk about it with friends like 'ZOMG look at that person! he/she has BAJILLION PVs!'
but for most case, the latter is where the artist is damn great.. for real..

back then I used to think of PV as my life number in dA, but now after few passing years in dA and account change, it doesn't feel that important anymore.. XD;

and..
*snickers*
'uncomportable'..?
sorry I had to point this out cos I :rofl: hard when I read it..
feel free to throw bricks at me.. *still snickering*

why so fucking serious..?
TOP, gwa stuju bangad... :)
