"Hey Everyone! I've decided that I'm gonna leave the newgrounds site until further notice. Ban me if you want but I'm gonna get a point across that more people should say already.

The way this place works with artists needs reform. I'm saying this not out of jealousy, i care not about views. I'm just angry and am speaking for the artists waiting for their chance to shine. Artists here are not treated as equals as they should be. It's not fair how the "Discovered Artists" get WAY HIGHER priority over others. They even get their own big ass banner slapped in the user's face for Pete's sake. It's not fair how the site always redirects you to the Discovered Artists section by default (which I'm sure you can't change.) This leaves us "Undiscovered Artists" left in the dust. I've seen some real talent go completely un-noticed here. I wonder how many hopes and dreams have been crushed because of this?

And before you say "Just go to the undiscovered artists section!" Don't even think about it. You shouldn't have to flick through more menus just to find artists that deserve a chance. Think about it, an average user is just gonna click on the art tab and start scrolling straight away. They're not gonna notice the rather small drop-down list. This happens through lack of experience with the interface, carelessness or laziness. This is basically comparable to midevil lords and peasants.

Until you start treating deserving artists with more respect and stop putting all of the spotlight on the "Discovered Artists" I'm not coming back here.

The most recognition i got was someone bitching over my test animation because it didn't have sound. It is a TEST ANIMATION. That was the first animation i tried in a while. Yet again (somewhat) because of this place.

Here's some examples of improvement. Take a leaf out of their books.

FurAffinity literally puts your artwork on the homepage, no matter how new of an artist you are.

While Deviantart is plagued with AI, They've provided an AI suppression mode, which is handy in greatly reducing your chance of coming across ai stuff. I'm not sure how DA's system works, but i got noticed so fast on there. They got a dedicated section for welcoming new artists in the homepage too.

You can find my other art pages and my website on my profile.

Live long and prosper. Fix how you treat deserving artists on this site.
