When people post every little thing they do, that drives me BONKERS. Lineart is fine, sketches are fine, but every little napkin and scribble and doodle, especially if they aren't good, drives me up a wall.

That drives me up the wall as well. I really don't like it when people post WIP as actual deviations... I know some people like seeing the process, but I always thought that was more of a scrap item, not a deviation.

I tend to stop watching one because of various reasons:

1) I tend to think they're great when I first see their art, but after months sometimes I tend to feel bored with some of their work.

2) three words: influx (of) mature content. Yiff, boobies, nudes, sexually suggestive art.
I have no respect and little appreciation for any of it. (except the occasional tasteful artistic nude drawn CORRECTLY) Oh my gosh, you would no believe how many girl draw boobs totally wrong. Guys have an excuse: they don't have them. Girl's don't have an excuse, they're on your chest you see them everyday. You should be able to properly replicate them! >_<

In one case it also involved a girl's views on sexuality and her art. Now I am aware that everyone is entitled to their own views and opinions, but I'm also entitled to mine. Her art took a much more mature turn. And he attitude about it was very "Well people are sexual. Get over it and suck it up." (she was not of course addressing me personally, but I don't like that attitude when people throw it in my face instead of being understanding about MY views. I realized her art was going somewhere I couldn't relate to thus I stopped watching her.

Those are the main reasons, although another includes when they leave DA or become extreamly inactive.

Personal pet peeves though include :

-WHen they don't interact with me. Very popular artists may not have the time, I know they get thousands of comments. But when you've got 10 watchers and I'm one of them? I'd like alittle interaction thank you.

-When they add me to their watch list and NEVER COMMENT. If you're going to watch me then look at my freakin work and comment.
I think I've got like 15 ppl watching me currently - know how many actually comment regularly? Haha.......two. I'm trying to think of ways to remedy that but I'm not sure I can.

I have only stopped watching three people. The first was a fetish model who was freaked out by the fact that I actually tried to give some intelligent thoughts and comments on it all. Y'know, instead of the usual thing guys say about photographs of the woman they're talking to online, instead of all the stupid flirting and crap.

The second was someone who had never posted any deviations, only one journal, and had joined b/c of a mutual friend IRL, but had abandoned DA and their profile was dead for over a year.

The third was an ex-girlfriend who decided to be as rude as possible and hate me irrationally despite the fact I actually went out of my way to be polite and only constructively criticize her.

So, apparently I'm very creepy to mentally deficient and/or emotionally disturbed females.

I used to only post things that were WIPs in Scraps, but I got yelled at and called stupid so I just said "screw it," because people are too stupid to tell the difference in the case of writing anyway whether something is finished or not.

I mean I've freaking left glaring problems in intentionally at least twice on fairly prominent pieces intentionally just to see if anyone would A. comment in that case, and B. if anyone would notice.

I see no reason to ever stop watching unless they were satan incarnate pretty much ^^

You got called stupid for using the Scraps as it was meant to be? Weird. People these days.

Yup. I figure I'd be doing humanity a favour by keeping as many intelligent people as possible from reproducing so that within the next 5 generations the big one is finally dropped....

Generally I stop watching when they start posting a bunch of stuff that just doesn't interest me, subject-wise. Sometimes it may be nudity, sometimes it may be an influx of fanart or fancharacters I don't care about (though these I un-watch less often), or sometimes I may just realize later that I really only watched them for one piece alone.
