What can one really comment about art though? "That is beautiful" or "That is shit". I love art but could care less about the field of art criticism. I use to have a geocities personal site on the old internet and it is not like anyone ever looked at that either. The real difference is I don't remember anyone caring about the number of myspace followers a person had. It only mattered who was in your top 6 or however many it was in your top list. Obviously, that is because there was no money to be made with having connections to people you didn't know.

Getting a bit of encouragement and positive feedback can be very motivating. It doesn't cost the giver anything and it can really have a positive impact on the receiving party. Most recently I received a comment from someone asking to buy some of my art and I felt incredibly flattered. Like we shouldn't be constantly seeking validation from external sources, but we're inherently social creatures so getting a bit of positive feedback is good.
