Although I'm a lazy shit about replying to comments, I generally make sure to visit everyone's page who watches/collects something I've drawn... Sometimes, I see comments on userpages from very, very popular users (think 1mil+ pageviews) saying thank you for faving an image. Considering the amount of faves these people get on each deviation they submit, the amount of commenting and page-visiting these people must do is insane. There's only so many ways to say "thank you for the fave" so after a while it's just saying the same five words over and over again, and for the sake of their fingers I can only assume it's copied and pasted. While I have no real feelings on the matter either way (except that I am rather awestruck at the amount of time it must take to comment on 20k+ watcher/fave messages), I wonder how people who get the comments see it: Is it nice to see such a popular artist is still down to earth enough to pay individual attention to each person who likes their work, or is it just emotionless copypasta with no real meaning behind it except to broaden ones exposure?

Yea... and if you don't read the rules, you won't get anything out of this.
Advertise; you don't have to but is looked up upon
and it really does help to inspire me with new ideas

Personally, though, I don't mind that someone doesn't respond to my faves/comments on their work -- even if they don't drop by my page at all. Having a damn hectic life, I know what it's like to come home, see a bunch of faves in your folder and think, "Ohhh I so want to check them out" and then realising just how many assignments are due in. It's not easy balancing both online and real time life, sometimes there are sacrifices.
But I'm a bitch, so.
It's not something that makes me belligerent with rage or anything--it's just an annoying peeve of mine.
(Though once again, I love your artwork~)
Even if I'm copying-pasting the message, I actually look at the galleries I leave the "thank you" message in. When I don't feel like leaving a thank you note it doesn't mean i'm less grateful, but that I'm not going to have time to look at the gallery, so I don't bother to leave an empty message :]
Personally, I only thank people for watching me because I just can't be assed to do the faves thing. >>
I want comments to mean something and not be easily mistaken for copying and pasting the same line. Even if you're commenting on a picture just to say that you like it, it still means a lot more because you actually felt that way - you didn't just do it as a standard reaction to something that might not even mean much.
(I still do thank people for faves on my Uboa plushie, though. But that's really just for the novelty of being able to post
