Fact..........However unpalatable..
This explains why the art charts are dominated by the same small group. 8 people in the new "hot 20" is not a representation of the wide dispersion of talent on this site.
But, yeah, as others have said, it's the same on all such sites, and having been around for a while makes it almost impossible for anyone to be dislodged. Each site creates its own little aristocracy. It's fascinating.
Quote - There have been a number of sites with which I was involved that have closed simply for lack of commentary on the pictures/stories/etc. Everyone comes, drinks their fill, and never leave a tip to the people who provided the content.
The lack of commentary can probably be explained by the fact that the vast majority of people would like to offer critical commentary on other people's images, while at the same time remaining utterly hostile to receiving any criticism themselves. The first time you get death threats for suggesting that someone turn shadows on in their renders, you give up.
LOL friend.. So very ,very true!!!!
