I see a lot of people begging for comments. And when they don't get said comments, I see these same people turn into whiney little bitches.

Hey, now don't get me wrong! Comments and awesome! So are favorites. But when people start getting whiney about it, a line's gotta be drawn somewhere.

Here is an essay on my opinion of comments and faving.

First off, people don't always have something to say. Whether it's because the art looks so good to them that they don't know if it needs any critique or they just wanna avoid using the same "kawaii" or "cool" or simple gerneric one-word comments. Or they just can't think of anything to say. Or they just don't want to fill up the in-box with over-used compliments. Besides, it saves many a busy artist lots of time if they don't have to go through so many of the same "cool/kawaii" one-word messages.

I've also noticed many artists getting more demanding.

First, there was "leave a comment even if it's incredibly short or a one-word like 'cool' or sweet'".

Then there was "leave a comment longer than one-word, maybe at least a sentence."

Next, "leave a long comment. Not just one-worders or short sentences."

It only got more demanding.

I even saw certain artists with hundreds of watchers throw hissy-fits and bitch that their work was 'under-loved' even though they got a multitude of faves everyday just because  people didn't leave comments enough comments or make the comments long enough.

Spoiled much? Hell, why bother is people are going to be so picky about it? Why bother commenting these brats at all?
Plus, no one likes a beggar.

Instead they should be grateful that people are still faving their work even after they've acted like spoiled bitches.

I've seen less popular artists that don't bitch nearly as much.

Besides, a lot of people are time-limited. They have lives outside of DA and a lot of times they just like to browse, fave what they like, and get out.

Also, if you're not that great of an artist (you know who you are) and someone faves because they like at least one thing of something of your's, you should be grateful someone's even faving at all. Not bitch at them for not commenting.
What do you want them to comment on? How, except for that one favorable part of the pic, shitty it was?

It seems many folks have forgotten that faves are a positive thing.

Comments and faves are an equally wonderful thing. But sometimes, people just gotta take it a little easier with the want of comments.
