I used to love the hot 20.   On the few occassions I hit it, I felt really good about my accomplishments in my artwork.   Granted, I would upload a picture, and leave it to fate if anyone voted for it, or not.

Though of course, we practice art for our pleasure, and for the creative state.  But I would be lying, as I think many would be, to say we don't strive to improve, for excellence, and enjoy recognition for skilled or hard work.

Sadly the hot 20 was flawed, as the aforementioned proves, of just having friends vote just to rack it up the chart.  Every one likes some kudos now and again, and that was one way to get it.  Too bad it never really worked perhaps the way it should.
