Pixiv bookmark tagger9/3/2023 That's right - Pixiv doens't really give a shit about "global" users because "global" users are simply not that popular. How many of each group has a Japanese name and/or a Japanese author? Count, and weep. Separate the drawings that have bookmarks (blue stars and numbers) and the ones that don't. And they follow Japanese people more often. And they rate Japanese drawings more often. I'm just saying they bookmark Japanese drawings more often. I'm not saying they're racist towards outsiders. And you're not Japanese, right? Too bad, since.ħ. "Get Premium to see this really cool selection of uber-faved drawings!" "Get Premium to unlock this upload option!" "GET this thing we're selling to you!" "GET this advertisement while you click out of our website!" " GET off to these cute ladies!" Every. Advertisements! Premium! Yay! Yes, Pixiv is even WORSE when it comes to persuading you. I assume that's the reason why Pixiv users simply. So yeah, they might have submitted that drawing two months ago and you didn't notice because Pixiv doesn't tell you directly. There! There are your buddies' new little doodles! Six of them. See the frontpage? See those six new drawings and that get around five seconds of glory? Scroll down. That's right, you don't get notified when someone you watch, or someone you're mutual friends with ("My pixiv", which is actually a sort of cute feature to be honest) uploads anything. You know how every single thing your watched artists do can have a little pop-up in your notifications bar on dA? That's not a thing on Pixiv. Some people even watch you just because you gave them a Llama or something. Usually on dA when someone faves two or three of your drawings they end up watching you. Why are tags so necessary, you say? Because.Ĥ. Because guess what? Ratings are also rare. Pretty much everyone gives 10 stars like it was the norm. I use sarcasm quotes because it's basically just a way to get told "this is niceeee" in a completely anonymous way. Pixiv has something else called "rating". And they seem to come in bunches for some reason. But even then, bookmarks are a rare sight. You really have to use tags if you want to have ANY exposure. It seems bookmarks have a stronger meaning on Pixiv, because they're pretty rare. I guess that's a good thing? Which brings me on to the next point.ģ. Those don't exist on Pixiv as far I'm aware. You know, the ones that fav just so you visit their page. 30% are watchers (usually coming from groups) and 20% are favspammers. But let's face it, groups are sooo handy. Thankfully people on Pixiv *actually* browse tags because it's easier and you can "collect" your favorite tags (I used to check the Yume Nikki fangames tag daily, now I do it with the Digimon tag). I mean sure, I only upload my best visual (not literature) works there, but STILL.Ģ. two comments maybe? As opposed to the thousands I got here in dA it's a pretty heavy change. In the entirety of my Pixiv life I got like. You will never, or hardly ever, get comments. And I'm not just talking about the much higher anime drawing ratio. The dynamic and general mindset of the entire community. the whole experience has been pretty disappointing. what, three years now? And at first it was kinda cool but. Pixiv is still as good as DeviantArt can be, you just have to know how to work with it. You can still expect to see mostly Japanese people though, which is normal since it's a Japanese website. Pixiv has recently gotten way friendlier, or as least that's I feel now that I've gone back there.
