Attached Link: Chicken or Egg example

***(Mind you, I do understand that it was done for illustrative purposes only.)*** Being that it means that the 2 examples weren't designed to go together. I also thought they stood well enough on their own so what point did it prove? I challenge the notion that artists use nudity to get hits, since that's sort of a chicken and egg type question, do they get hits because of the nudity, or do the artist use nudity to get the hits? In my experience of watching the images that go through the gallery is that you couldn't stop them from getting hits or votes even if you wanted to. In Febuary IgnisSerpentus and Prog stopped enabling the comments to protest the stealing one of Prog's images and the complaints about the Hot 20, it didn't stop them from getting in the Hot 20 for those images without the comments or telling people not to vote for them. (As Ringo Starr said in the "Yellow Submarine" movie "I'm a born lever-puller" when he saw a sign that said "Don't pull") A lot of people asked them to enable the comments again so they did since the protest obviously wasn't going anywhere. Just like artist are going to use nudity at every skill level and some will do it better than others. To attribute motives to them that they are just to get more viewings is forgetting that it would get viewings whether they wanted it to or not.
