I'd really like to get a DD, i'm not entirely sure why tho, but i wouldn't want it for one of my poems, as i like them but i don't think they're good enough, a photo that i got lucky with or one at a devmeet i would love to be DD'd though...

It must be just the recognition and the amount of favs and comments you get, call me vain but i kinda want that aswell :D

Still, a lot of the DDs don't deserve it at all. A lot of them are just black-and-white boob shots with nothing special to them. Most of the time, emotes really don't deserve DDs, either (today's was an exception), and that black and white photograph today was extremely meh.
Does my art match up? It doesn't, and I'll admit that. But even so, I feel like I put a lot more effort into my art than the artists of many DDs did.

Like i said to another mate, I do find that there is a bias over which DD's are picked, most of the time its photography -_-"

Boob photography. :|

I might be ignorant, but I've never noticed how special photography is. With some cameras, you can get the same effect with point-and-shoot rather than spending laborious hours over effects.

DDs mostly look really boring to me. I'm not sure I want to be picked for them!

Seems to me like DD's are a function of how many watchers you have.
Which is why I don't even pay attention to DDs, since I don't have many watchers. And those who do watch me are terribly quiet when I upload something - and that makes me sad. Kinda takes away the point of uploading your stuff since no one pays attention.

I should get myself a corner to cry at, shouldn't I?

I will definitely agree that there is a bias over what DDs are picked, seen one B&W shit, seen them all

Indeed.
I'm not sure I'd like that. I mean, if something I made was chosen to be a DD just because I had 1 million watchers and half of them faved it - that wouldn't feel so right. It's like it's a popularity contest, you know?
