I WISH I COULD DISABLE FAVORITES

Does almost nothing for me.  People fave and fave and fave, and at some point, it's basically the same people who are faving, so you as an artist can't even check their profiles for content that is new to you.  It's like the laziest way to say you appreciate something, but hey, I can kinda understand.  A lot of more professional artists don't engage with their fanbase, and you wind up with people not bothering to try to say anything as a way of not having to worry about their words being wasted on an empty response.

But not me.  I'll always be responsive to feedback or reception of any kind.  Even if I ever do make it big, I will at least reply to the first several pages of responses I get, and let everyone know that as well, so they don't feel left out.

I'm not going to poke, prod, or pull you're arm to get you to comment, you're free to do whatever you want, but also don't be surprised if the reaction you get from faving without anything more doesn't amount to squat.  I need to know exactly what you like so that I can do more of it if I'm down with that.  Just saying you like it doesn't tell me much.

And yeah, I'm well aware that I said I'd be focusing on me more than others.  If you're thinking much about that, then think about this:  Are you interested in seeing more of what you like or are you worried about me contradicting myself?  Choose one and one only.

When people started using the favorite button like FB's like button, things went to hell. They don't really understand the meaning of the word "favorite", do they? I'm very picky with my favorites but I also don't comment a whole lot... But if I see something that I like but isn't quite enough to be in my favorites, I'll comment... well, if there isn't already a sea of comments praising it already.
