Description Stamp by ~ChikitaWolf

People seem to take pageviews too seriously :I

Yeah, it's nice to see that pageview number go up, but honestly, the pageviews aren't what make you an artist. Or a good friend. Or an awesome person.

It's just a number. :'3

So don't think you're a horrible artist just because you don't have as many pageviews as someone else. That's just silly.

So perk up. Keep practicing. Don't let a number comparison discourage you, yeah?

Feel free to use~

Edit: please don't rant about those pageview bot things. Honestly, I hold the same opinion as dA. Who cares? If people want to spend their money on increasing a statistic, I say go ahead and let them. It's their money

Yeah, that is rather annoying. Though whatever floats their boat . I just add another "thank you" to their page even when they say not to <3

Haha, true. It's always nice to see the number go up :'3

I for one hate my pageviews D: (11,000+ just so no one has to visit me.) I'm still learning the ropes so I'm wondering how the hell I've racked up that many in 1 year x.x

I just hope I won't be accused of using a pageview bot, because I honestly haven't D:

(lol). Mine is my stamps :S I kinda wish I'd stop making stamps, cuz that's what brings in my pageviews, not my real art >3>"""

If someone's accusing like that, they need a life Who goes around accusing people of that? What people do with their money is none of their concern *facepalm*

It's the same people who type in something they hate (eg yaoi) and go onto every second picture they see and troll them. Then they laugh at the people who say "don't like, don't look"

I've only made one stamp, but it gets no views because I'm too scared it won't get accepted into any groups.

Well ah heh heh I didn't read the rules for one group (I did, just not the ones for joining D: ) and when I got rejected I felt like an idiot. I'll try again one day~

I've had that happen before, though it was because my stamp was 1 pixel off size.. >3>
I'm just like "okay!" and resubmit it correctly :3 And if they still don't want it, whatevs, there are plenty of other stamp groups

Why are stamps 99 and not 100 pixels anyway?

I have no idea :C It's rather aggrivating considering I like this one template and I use it all the time... and it's off size by 1 pixel xDD

It is on DA, so you could make a stamp saying, "Deviantart does not make you an artist" .

Kitsch rules on DA. Also everyone on DA seems to forget about the art that takes place in the real world too; like professional art thieves that have stolen art work from little places like the Lourve in Paris, quite a bit more sinister and serious than children downloading and uploading images that they've found on the internet...

Oh gosh. Pageviews. Lots of pageviews don't necessarily mean a person's a good artist. Or anything really. Just that lots of people decided to go to or accidentally ended up at your page. I really don't care too much about pageviews, personally. |D I'm still surprised that that number is going up.

Pfft, if I ever get premium membership, I'm using your stamps. :'D

There are pageview bots? |D Never heard of them until now. *is still a dA n00b*

LOLz, know that feeling too well :'D

I don't know Didi. The only thing I'd use a premium would BE for stamps, lol. Otherwise, I think I'd rather just have points :'D

Yep. People whine about them all the time cuz it's "SO UNFAIR!!!1!" I'm like, who gives a crap? *sigh*

oh god, I remember some random user made a journal and said "the fact that I have more than 30,000 pvs...[rest is bullshit]", don't know if the journal was BAAAAWWWWWdeleted, but it was , pageviews and these "builders".(sorry about that)

However, it does makes them an ass just for the number.

I don't even view my pageviews. Although, there's a glitch where it's still possible to see them on the statistics page even if you have them blocked.

Ahhaha True that. Besides my art is crap and I have over 2,000. You can increase that little number just be favouriting a million things. ART is what makes you an artist. <3

I would totally use this stamp if I could.

I'd love to be able to use stamps too :C

I'm almost at 33k and I know full well that doesn't make me an artist. Some of those are from trolls and people who has blocked me because I gave them a fair warning about their stolen art. Hey, I was being a good person and trying to help them not get banned from here. They were the ones who were being a dick.
