DA has Changed
and not for the better . . .
I have been on DA for TWO AND A HALF YEARS and have noticed a lot of changes happening to DA!
Firstly...
The Introduction of COLLECTIONS means that people no longer have to view the work to it or add to their collections.Secondly...
The NUMBER of Deviants people watch on DA has DRASTICALLY increased.Thirdly...
The AMOUNT of artwork being submitted is also INCREASINGBecause of these THREE reasons, DeviantART is...
NO LONGER ABOUT ART
People are going around and FAVING and COLLECTING artwork without appreciating what the person has spent time creating or capturing.This has been brought about by the new system DA has put in. This means that people no longer appreciate the work put up on here, and only take a quick glance at it before moving on to another piece of work.
Please Note that this is not DeviantART's fault but the Deviants fault
People have spent hours on some things creating artwork to post on here, and very few people actually take proper notice of how much effort has gone into making that piece, they don't even read the artists comments which go with the pictures. Also, because it's so easy to collect work, and go, people don't spend the time to write comments.
I have over twice the number of watchers i had 2 years ago, but i get less comments overall on my work!
Also, I have noticed the use of Control + C and Control + V is being used a lot. People no longer bother writing comments based on the work that is being or has been faved, they just write out a set comment and paste it into every box. I came across this with a new club i'd started up, where i Faved some work, and got a comment on the main DA page saying "Thanks a lot for the Btw... you have a great gallery!" yet, we had all of 1 deviation in the gallery, and when i checked his activity, at least 12 other deviants he'd posted to around the same time, had exactly the same message!
I feel people no longer use DeviantART for appreciating art, but for trying to get through everything as quickly as possible.
Not everyone does this, but an increasing number do.
If you agree with me, please fav this article, and if not reject it
I want to know how many people also think this is happening. And if you disagree, please leave a comment on why you disagreeThe only way I can see of stopping this is to go back to the old ways, don't watch as many deviants, and appreciate the work they put in to their artwork more.
Here to Help?
How far should one go to help and when is it invading privacy.
I've always wondered about what should really happen. Here are a couple of examples
You overhear some random people trying to figure out which train they should get and which one will take them to the correct destination.
If you help them, will they be pleased you helped them sort it out or be angry you were eavesdropping?
With friends, if you can tell they are feeling down, and you keep pushing to find out what's wrong, is this really trying to help them feel better or will it just make them feel worse in the long run?
See what some of you think of these examples.
Have fun
A Day in the Life of Mr Piers Adam Lucian Gray
well, what was meant to be an ordinary day out with a friend turned a bit weird at the end lol!
I ended up cycling in the glorious sunshine from the Medway Towns down to Dover. Left at 9:30 and finished at 4:45
However I got home and realised i needed to phone so went to look for it and couldn't find it
first i tried ringing it from the home phone and got no answer and i realised i must have left it on a train somewhere.
Got quite frustrated and rung the phone and it kept being diverted so someone must have picked it up, and then it went straight through to answerphone so whoever had it had turned off the phone. I cycled to the station an
So it begins...
End of the holidays have come, and i got my a level results which to be honest weren't all that brilliant.
i've spent the last three weeks stuck at home ordering tons of audio and video software for recording the upcoming talent shows. I've also drafted in two workers to run the audio and second camera. We have a run through, not this monday but next monday and then the shows start properly on the 27th September.
Erm, i'm also doing a few days a week employed by school creating music tech tutorials and helping teach the yr 12 yr 13 music tech classes which is fun! weekdays i'm doing little projects to do with photography and video. I'm als
