So true.

It's sad that a lot of people think "Oh, you draw? Don't you have something better to do?" or that it's some dumb past time.
Too many people don't care about art anymore. It's really a shame. Unless it has to do with movies or makes them a profit, who cares. -cry-

I think one thing that irks me most are 'original characters' that are pretty much recolors or slight alterations of screen shots or someone else's art.
They flood a good deal of the groups I'm in..

dA just happens to be a site with a lot of very young users, and unfortunately they don't all understand the value of hard work and want things instantly. But people learn and grow with time, they just need the right information and drive.

Unfortunately I think a lot of the older users have given up on trying to teach the new users.
Too many people try to treat DA like facebook and only want the likes.

If more people could read stuff like your FAQ then they could grow.
We can only hope.

Well it's not something that can be stopped completely, because new people show up on dA every day. As long as we do our best, that's enough.
