So AvariceTears motivated me to do this; thank you! :D
I have always wanted to take people off my list of subscriptions, but didn't have the "guts" to because I was afraid of how bad it would make the other party feel. But after reading an article on deviantART, I think different. Read this:
4. Comments are never a given thing. Never take comments for granted. That said, appreciate and answer all feedback! A "Thank you" doesn’t take one minute to type and it means a lot to a person who’s spent more than a minute to comment.
And that is what I do now; for my subscribers who regularly comment on my things, as I do with them, I don't always reply with a 'thank you' because I don't like to fill my comment boxes with those. But it is implied, which is why I started adding the footer to all my submissions:
. . .
If you hug and/or favorite, please leave a comment!
Feedback is always welcome and appreciated!
Thanks to all those who leave comments!
. . .
And if it's someone who I'm not subscribed to, I go to their portfolio and comment on their stuff in return. It's how I do it now.
Anyway, this post isn't a lot to worry about for most of you who are probably reading this (which is my subscribers), because many of my subscriptions were not mutual (). But it's something to learn, lol.
And there's just something I always wonder... I have so many subscribers, but what are they doing subscribing to me when they don't seem to be coming on my page? XD
