Not a complaint, just an observation. I've actually had ten minute con sketches get more comments. Bizarre. While I generally do not judge a piece necessarily by the number of comments it receives, when a piece only draws a single comment, you begin to wonder if CAF has largely become a modern art arena, which few exceptions for vintage Marvel and DC pieces.

I think CAF's popularity has died down tremendously over the past few years (at least since my brief hiatus from the hobby). Views and comments have plummeted overall and I believe it's just a small percentage of the already small number browsing and commenting on art on that site these days.
I can only speak for myself and I don't imagine I'm the only one who does this but I only go on and search specific art that interests me these days (i.e. Hulk and specific artists) versus in the past where I would take time and browse all newly posted art. I also try to keep relatively up to date on my galleries simply to be able to look at all my art easily. I don't have enough wall space to hang everything so a lot of my collection is stored in portfolios. Digging them out once in awhile to flip through is definitely a treat but being able to catalog and see them digitally on a daily basis is really the only reason I upkeep my gallery.

You bring up an interesting point. You may be right. While I may not pop in on CAF as much as I used to, I still do my best to see what's new at least once a day or every two days.

Why would you care who comments on your collection? You may be collecting for the wrong reasons.

Yes, that must be it. I collect for the wrong reasons. Forty+ years of collecting all down the drain. What was I thinking all this time? Thank you for chiming in with this incredible insight.
