Description
I know its not a fancy stamp but the meaning is quite clear.I'm pretty sure lots of you have had the occasional random deviant leave you a message with something like
"PLZ WATCH ME! I'll watch you k? thx!"
I find it annoying as hell, and I'm probably not the only one. Its something so dumb. I only watch people who's artwork I've ACTUALLY SEEN! Or people who have the same interests in art as I do.
But other than that, stop trying to get your watchers up. It doesn't matter how many people are watching you. Just do what you do and let the art do the speaking.

I hate when that happens. I hate a random watch even more, shame there are no stamps for that...

Nobody should ever do that. A) It's annoying to the person you're trying to get to watch you and B) it makes you look desperate for attention. Plus, even if that person does watch you back, chances are, the person who begged for the watch doesn't have much to upload but journals about nothing. I hate when people do that. I just leave them alone until they go away (hopefully).

So true. I'm not gonna Watch just to be nice, not even if I like some picture (that's what Faves are for). I Watch when I want to see more art.

"Will u plz look at my page and watch me?"
I really find it so impolite when people do that. The site is for making awesome art, getting feedback and learning from other artists, not a freaking social network.
Honestly, I watch artists because I love their work and want to learn from them, most people do this just to get thier ego boosted whether their art looks good or not.

Watch me sketched-dreams ! And I will watch you !
Shit, I've already watched you XD
Watch is to be informed from news of some DeviantArt Member. In other words, news that could interest us, as new deviation...
Is it the FaceBook, MySpace and anyother of that kind of community effects ? DeviantArt is not to create communities where there is the numbered people. Is to promote Art, styles...
Just for this, that's a good reason to fav' this deviation

Thats waaaay different. My journal simply applies to those I've watched on my old account. Mainly those on my old account are watching me now.
