And it's people like you whou should be heading up galleries in your area of expertise. Some of the choices...it's like they went into a classroom and picked the kids who kiss the teachers ass the most.

its been a while since i dont click +FAV to more than 1 DD...seriously...9 years ago, when i joined DA (with another account)the dd choices where outstanding, and it was a real privilege to get even one...it was something that could easyli take your breath away and make you jump like a crazy person all over the room....now everyone's getting DD'S (specially GD friends circle) and some people even has more than 5 DD'S when there's SO MUCH good people out there, being un recognized...im tired of seing over and over again the same popular deviant being dd-ed for some animeish crappy artwork that probably took them an hour to finish (not to bash fast working people, but cmmon, you can allways tell who did their homework and who didnt), im tired of seeing the same artwork on the front page(...i want to see new art, and new talents, not the same old shit i have been seeing for years

Its is very sad to see someone like you (i can easily tell you were really passionate about your work there and that you were one of the few guys left there trying to rescue the soul of this social network) being fired because such stupid reasons, but that only shows how fast DA is sinking, sure it will allways be popular among teenagers and mediocre artists, but what once made this site awesome will soon dissapear (ie. professional/talented artists...they no longer see this site as a place to share their artwork to get exposure, they just see it as source of income and i dont blame them...this is the place where you could see talented artists making comissions to pay for their dog's food and tekila shots for their friends...its just fast money, just that)

how sad, truly

Thank you, hun. And I agree. It's rather... disconcerting, to say the least.
