I understand your question.

Would you prefer a LIKE feature with your download as they have in facebook posts?

Also, I have on occasion thanked artists for making something that I truly needed and didn't even ask. While I can not speak for everyone, I know that if I see an artist give away items, it entices me to purchase items as well. When I contacted the artist to thank them or to comment, I have only been ignored twice in the last 4 years.

Let me speak right away for all other artists that downloaded your freebies and said nothing.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Your hard work and generosity is truly appreciated. The quality of your models is truly appreciated. 3d Modeling has arrived as an artform and your work is art. True art.

Once more, Merci. Merci bien.
