When you go around telling people "Thank you for the fave". I have to ask, why do you do that? When you add something from my gallery to your favorites, it's a convenience to you, not me. Same goes with vice versa. You add it to your favorites as if it was a bookmark so you can you keep track of the pictures you like and also let people have the chance to see what you like. Does this have something to do with the rest of deviantart's obsession with increasing numbers or something? Because that really needs to stop.
I didn't write this out of hostility nor was there a specific person I had in mind, it's just an epiphany I had about the behavior of this site.
