You think it is about something else?

Your first post seemed to agree, or at least not disagree, with that list. Perhaps with the caveat that the thumbnails have to be T&A?

Do you feel an effective thumbnail is not important. Do you think having a network of people who will cross promote your name (favoriting, key people commenting) is not important, do you feel it doesn't matter when you post your work?

If not that list, a summation of what had been posted by everyone, then what?

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
