I left DA, if you may have noticed, I deleted everything on my account except for the stuff I really don't care about ( because of a few reasons). What are my reasons behind this act? A lot actually...
I mean seriously, I was staying for my friend Sam's journals ONLY. ( they are so interesting O_O )
- POPULARITY CONTEST. If someone was to ask me "Where is the biggest popularity contests on the internet?" I'd recommend to them DA. It's nothing but "HOW MANY PAGE VIEWS" and "COMMENTS", seriously! I'm sure many of you agree. I mean I remember a friend telling me that she posted her art when its American peak time so all the Americans would be online so she would get more page views, how fricken low is that? ( I'm not gonna say any names because a lot of people probably do this )
- Do you know HOW BORING DA really is? Compared to the many other things you can be doing in life? Would you rather be in a room on DA all day? Even if you spend 5 minutes on DA per day, I call that 5 minutes wasted xD GO OUT! PEEL ORANGES! PEELING ORANGES ARE REWARDING! TAKE YOUR DOG OUT FOR A WALK, IT'S WHIMPERING FOR YOU. FALL IN LOVE, TRY TO HAVE A BABY, TEACH SOMEONE ( OR...YOURSELF) TO RIDE A FRICKEN BIKE, DON'T JUST SIT THERE STARING AT YOUR DA PAGE, WAITING FOR COMMENTS ON YOU ARTWORK OR REPLIES OR WATCHING YOUR PAGEVIEWS NUMBERS GOING UP IN A SNAIL'S PACE!
- The website is filled with bugs. I mean which website isn't? But seriously, boring websites + bugs = failure
- SAME SHIT. Some people I have "watched" are my actual friends and I can't unwatch them otherwise they'd whine or go emo or something. But some of them ( not just 2 or 3 ) post the same sort of art work/photos like, every single day and I'm not exaggerating when I say EVERY SINGLE DAY. I mean cool if you can generate completely different artworks every single day I bow my head to you but the SAME THING? If you were to go out with what you have now (real world), drawing, painting or whatever the same thing over and over, you won't survive. Seriously, you'll be known for a day and the next forgotten and never remembered EVER AGAIN! If you have a signature style then its a different story but I guess you have to be pretty original and "never been seen before styles" to be up to that level for instance like Rembrandt with his triangle...things.
- Kids, on DA, tired of it.
Well if you disagree to any of this, that is your opinion. This is MY opinion and I am simply SHARING my opinion. Don't bother commenting, I won't read it or reply.
Hope you have more fun on DA than I have.
For those who wanna carry on with this site, don't wait around for comments or pageviews cause they mean nothing. DA was originally (perhaps) for people who wanted REAL critique on their art/photos. You won't really get that here (any more). DO SOMETHING IN THE REAL WORLD. INTERNET IS STUPID, THE REAL WORLD IS WHERE IT COUNTS!
