I know you don't care if I prefer green tea to regular tea, I know you don't care if I prefer facebook to Myspace, I know you don't care who my favorite Image comics 1991-1994 super villain is, I know you don't care who I think would win in a fight between Joker and Darth Vader, so why the hell are so many of you posting up these polls asking me these incredibly pointless questions on a daily basis?

I understand asking some of this stuff once or twice just for the sake of having an interesting conversation on DA. When you're doing this almost every day, it just comes off as a narcissism born of insecurity.  Are you so worried people are going to forget you and your art?  Will you fade into obscurity if you don't constantly remind us that you exist by assaulting our Inboxes with questions that don't encourage us to think about things that carry even a little substance?

If you genuinely want to know something, ask it.  If you just want to increase the numbers next to the "pageviews" section on your DA page, stop wasting our time. There are probably a million things in your life that deserve more attention than how cool you are on deviantart.

I don't watch anyone's journals. Except for people I actually know. Like you. But then I have to go and read 'em...that's why I'm just now responding to this one.

Nature of the game, homie. I just delete the ones (which are many) that I don't want to bother contributing to.

And if you want to unwatch the poll, click the lil' down arrow next to the "x" where you delete the poll. It should have an option to unwatch that person's poll. :thumbsup:

I guess I should follow that whole "if you don't have something NICE to say..." philosophy

Nah, you said it perfectly. I went through my entire watch list and unchecked the polls option from all the constant offenders. Drives me insane. DA's interface sucks, but I was able to do it by clicking Friends, then "Add/Remove" at the bottom of that list. From there you can uncheck different items from every person you follow on here.

hey if you genuinely care about what you're polling, I say keep going. If you're just doing it to get people to go to your page, then that's what I'm personally not a fan of.

How can you parse who is genuine and who isn't?

M!
