[Request: I'm getting tired of people faving this on a weekly basis, so I ask anyone who wishes to add this to their favorites to look through the entire gallery, and add at least one more of my deviations along with it. If you can't find other deviations to your liking, DO NOT FAV THIS ONE.]
The winds of change has finally reached DeviantArt. The dictatorial reign of fan artists and talented people is coming to an end with the introduction of the new system. For too long was DeviantArt ruled by people who were either far more talented than others or drew too many fanart. These people took all the attention from the common folk. Becoming popular, took a lot of effort, and once someone achieved it, his popularity began to increase exponentially.
Now is no longer the case. Time is changing, and the ascension of the no-talent hacks has finally began. No longer must one toil hard and put effort in their work to achieve recognition. And no longer must one draw Naruto to draw attention to themselves. Attention whores, no talent hacks and bad comedians have been granted equal chances with those who are far above them. No longer must we look up to to those better than us, for we will all be equals. Lame animated GIFs, overdone political jokes and low quality sketches will also have a chance to shine in popularity. Yes. The socialist revolution has finally come to DA.
What is a socialist revolution you ask? allow me to demonstrate. See this cane here? Good. It has three parts. This silver grip represents the ruling class. Talented people, anime-style artists and people who draw fanart all fit into this category. The wooden part here represents the middle class. Aspiring artists who are struggling hard to earn recognition, or promising newcomers who want to share their art with the world. Poor fools. And there is this lowest part here. This dirty little piece of rubber represents all the scum and crap that exists at the bottom of DA. Crappy sketchers, no talent hacks and boring comedians, who would never get any attention at all, forever be forced to thread in the shadows of the ruling classes. Now comes the socialist revolution. What was once on the bottom, now goes on the top. What was on the top will be tossed into obscurity, and the masses of DeviantArt will finally see that which they never could've seen. Because true art is no longer about talent. Nor is it about drawing something popular. We live in a modern world, where the talented are equal with the talentless.
New times are coming. A specter is haunting DeviantArt. The specter of Fair Exposure. No-talent-hacks of DeviantArt have nothing to lose but their obscurity. They have a website to win. Untalented men of DeviantArt, UNITE!

What do you notice about your two most popular deviations that is different from everything else in your gallery?
(By raw metric, I mean. :V)
But it's not really about quality, it's about popularity, which was the main issue back then.
But for many people, it isn't that important; I'm talking by myself - I entered in DA just to find new friends and learn something more about art. I'm not a professional.
I don't even think this is really all that good or original - Your syntax and capitalization are sloppy, and there are a lot of people bitching about the obvious favoritism, the lack of appreciation or exposure for any but the chosen few who may or may not deserve the attention, and the mods having their collective heads up their asses when it comes to things like what gets DDs, and what gets deleted. This is hardly new ground you've broken.
I don't like the way this place is run either sometimes, but to be frank, since the Fair Exposure started, things haven't really changed.
[link] This piece is something I colored on a whim - It's not one of my favorite pieces; I don't even like Danny Phantom or Kim Possible.
62 favorites. That's higher than the rates of my next two most-faved, combined.
The rest of them don't even get CLOSE to that kind of action.
What I'm trying to impart here is that you can't control what people like or what people want to see, hoss. You can't force them not to
They will like what they will like, and if it happens to be utter shit, it's nobody's problem but theirs.
I myself am not swimming in watchers and
I find this whole premise to be hypocritical, and therefore, just to piss you off, I'm faving this.
And ONLY this.
