[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!

A guy was complaining today that he got 3000 favs on a desktop screenshot, just because the new system allows desktop screenshots to appear on the front page.
I don't want that kind of recognition. I don't want any help from the DA bosses. I will make my own name.
And if you just take a look at the petition, you'll see that it says nothing about removing the new system. Just the correcting of the many flaws it has and the reintroduction of the old "popular" category.

Now that I've gotten that off my chest, I am feeling the same displeasure about this new system. Honestly, I am getting really sick of seeing that "your mom" gif. Heck, it's been there for over a day! FairExposure? Yeah right. Beforehand, the pictures wil have drifted within a day and a bit, sometimes less. So why are we being forced to look at the current pictures for so long?
It's not so much the front page thing that bothers me, but the fact that clicking the "popular" link does not show me the pictures that were voted "Most Popular". You want to "expose" unknown artists, then fine whatever. But why are they taking away the option to actually see the most popular ones? I think it's ridiculous.
