Okay so…that’s never happened before. I’ve heard people complain about mass faving work, but never commenting.

If me leaving comments on your work is considered ‘spam’, please let me know so I can unfollow you! I have been a part of the online art scene for 22 years, and have always been an active participant, trying to be encouraging and picking something out that I enjoy from the art I see. I feel like it helps the artist see that someone is appreciative, and that they’ve done something in their work that caught someone else’s eye. It’s pretty rare that I just say, “cute” or “cool” or some other cookie cutter response that could be applied to ANY work, that could be a literal cut-and-paste. I try to find something specific to the piece at hand, even if it's just a conversation starter.

If you don’t like it, let me know. However, rather than remember everyone's individual preferences among the many people I try to keep up with, I simply won’t follow you anymore. I don't have the time or patience to stop and remember what each person likes and what they don't. If you don't want my interaction, then that's perfectly within your right, BUT we will have to part ways. I'm not here to just pad out your follower count, this isn't twitter.

P.S. Yes I am aware that due to me being busy I tend to 'catch up' all at once. But again, if that's an issue, then I won't follow you. Just let me know, here or privately, and it will be taken care of. Thanks.
