I watch people because...

Template by $zilla774.

Ever have one of these days?:
You log onto deviantART and notice you have some new messages in your inbox. excited, you look at your messages, and you see that someone new has watched you. "Oh, boy!" you think. "Someone new is watching me because they like my art!" You click on their username to thank them for the watch, or to just take a look at their profile because you like to know what kind of people are watching you. You glance over their gallery, their journal, their favorites-- until your eyes travel down to the comments on their profile, and your heart sinks.

This person has comments from different people saying "Thanks for the watch!" all spaced minutes apart. You know what this means: It's a spam-watcher who watches EVERYBODY, just to get more pageviews.

Don't you hate this? I've gotten a few spam-watchers in the past, but one unnamed spam-watcher made me laugh and groan in disgust at the same time. They had watched me a year ago, and I knew right away that they were a spam watcher. Just recently, they added me to their watch AGAIN, and I noticed that there were all sorts of people who were saying what a great person this user was. Can you say, "Getting attention for all the wrong reasons?"
