We all love good photography from

or a funny comic from

but are the people of deviantART looking through the new deviations like glass?
Recently, I've worked on a project titled "Most Looked at Genre of Images." This project was done by clicking on "Browse" and clicking "All Time." I then looked at the type of image under each image, recorded it, and then averaged it out. (No, I can't remember the results because this was in the beginning of this school year.) BUT, the results weren't the point of telling you this information. The point was on all the artwork I saw with very few favorites on them. The art itself astonished me but the number of favorites on these works leaves me wondering, are we deviants ignoring the amateurs?
A few things I've seen recently that have few favorites are:
[link] by

,
[link] by

. I know you must have seen something when you were moving your mouse to "Popular." Why didn't you take the time to look at the "Newest?" Maybe you could be the first favorite of the next big thing!
After my surfing (I'd say 2 hours...

), I looked at a deviation with a whopping 17,148 favorites (The most popular deviation in PHOTOGRAPHY of a Desu Noto Cosplay.) The most favorites I've EVER gotten were 4 on a stamp. I personally believe that sometimes, we look at the popular things with following eyes and look straight through beauty in new things. Can you seriously believe that a cosplay is #1 for photography? I'm going to saw the word astonished again, because I am truly astonished that cosplays have gotten
that popular.
So, I guess what I am trying to say here is,
deviants need to stop clickin' on "Most Popular" when "Newest" holds greatness too.Ever think about how popular deviations start as new deviations? If you said no to that in your mind, I seriously didn't either until today. I was reviewing my project and surfing dA and looking at newest. I was like,
woah, mann! So. In conclusion, I want to say stop moving your clicker to the popular like little girls flocking to Hollister!
Another thing, don't favorite your friends' work because they tell you to. Distribute your favorites to things that deserve it rather than things that already have it.

Thank you for reading.
Please excuse spelling errors, my spell check isn't working. XD

Sometimes I find new deviations that far surpass the popular ones in ingenuity and quality.
I don't mean to take away from popular deviations that are truly great and deserve all of their favorites, but some people never give amatuers a chance.

And some deviations that are popular actually are really stupid...

I watch many people on DA who are super talented are only getting 2 favorites even though they have hundreds of pictures. For example: [link]
or [link] who's EVEN younger than me! Or even [link] or [link] , or [link] I'd go on but I watch so many under-rated artists this post would take all day to write.
Many people should look at new, and not just popular.

You're so hot you cause global warming!
By the way, I do browse newest.

But yea, seriously. I do personally spend like 20 minutes a day browsing newest. I think is people are lazy enough, there should be a random new button on the bottom there[points down] It would be awesome if you found the data, I'm really curious OoO
