LL marks the posts I haven't read since my last visit on all forums as "Unread replies".

Do you mean that posts in the forums you visit show as unread replies under notifications at the top of the page? Because my notifications only show replies quoting or reacting to my replies. If you get notifications from every forum you visit I'd think your notifications are loadeddd lol.

No, it shows this in your feed when you scroll down. In front of new posts that you haven't seen yet, a text (in quite small letters) will appear saying "Unread replies".

Yes, that's what I meant. 🙂

These types of sayings I always thought were kind of silly to lean on. While it's true everyone has their own tastes and one thing that is ugly will be beautiful if viewed through someone else's eyes, art is still a form and as such has certain aspects that objectively have a right and wrong way of being done. If this wasn't the case we wouldn't have art teachers, everyone would just put out whatever they could with their ability and not be given guidance. Movie directors would not be given awards if everything was "subjective" and certain posts in this thread would not have 20+ likes while others have 2. Strictly speaking on screenshots from skyrim, a lot of factors go into it, character design, lighting, background, poses, camera angles, etc. While everyone has their own tastes, all of these things I just listed have a right and wrong way of being done. If a camera angle is weird and the lighting sucks it can be the difference between a 20 likes screenshot and a 6 likes screenshot, I wouldn't call that "subjective".

 

I would argue that Art teachers can, at best, help nurture or improve technique but actually teaching art?  I would disagree on that.
There are people that can reproduce a black and white photo, almost exactly, with just paper and a black biro pen... That is not art, it certainly is a talent and a skill of unnatural ability, but reproducing an image exactly is something a photocopier can do.

 

Here, two pieces of art.

Spoiler

 

I cannot tell you which of these you should prefer because that is your preference.

Right way and a wrong way? What total shit. Do you think there were art teachers and critics, in the 90's, telling students that if they want to make a name for themselves they should spray over pre-prepared stencils on public walls? And yet a few years on how much were people willing to pay for a Banksy?

Just because there are things like the rule of thirds in photography that people will follow it does not mean that if this is not followed it's a bad photograph or that you shouldn't like it because it is not following a set formula.

Movie awards, really? You think they are something to measure your opinion by?... You are basically saying that other people can tell you what you should like better than you can know yourself. Sure, if you are unable to form your own opinion of what you should think of as a good movie then look at what has one awards, those people must be right... There is surely no ulterior motive for handing out a movie award.

And now we come back to the likes. You are saying that anytime someone doesn't choose to like an image that you like, they are wrong? That their opinion is wrong and they should like what you like?
Just how fucking arrogant are you to think you can tell people here that they should like?
Because that is what you are doing.

But I challenge you to post two images that you see as equal where one got all the likes and the other got "over looked."

I feel like the point of what I was saying has been largely lost on some people. However, this was expected.

 

Your point, as always, is that you're not getting enough attention.

Dude you are totally missing the points because you are too emotional to look at what I said as intended. I'm not telling anyone what they should and shouldn't like, that's entirely up to them and I'd be psychotic to do that. I simply pointed out how there are tried and true ways of presenting certain things and that reactions like film awards and likes on LL often reflect that. I don't think there's anything arrogant about acknowledging that. The same could apply to preparing food or drink, sure I could mix various ingredients that don't complement each other and I'm sure I could find some people that would like it while the vast majority would find it disgusting. Bringing something like abstract art into that discussion certainly muddies the waters a bit and the whole "art is subjective" thing probably comes more into play there. I personally never liked abstract art and am not knowledgeable on that subject so I can't very well speak on that. However, I think how well something is received generally (not always) is a pretty decent gauge of how well a traditional art form is executed. I don't think anyone here was looking to ruffle anyone's feathers, we were just having a little discussion. No one is telling anyone what to like or not like and no one was begging for attention either, just chill.

Then what exactly is your point?

Yes, I don't like someone trying to tell me they know what is good and what isn't on something that is simply opinion and taste.

So the likes on LL are actually a good measure of what is good and what isn't? Okay so by that the image that got the most likes is just better than the one that got less. If that's how you want to view it that is your perogative... But wait, aren't you agreeing with someone that complained about images not getting as many likes as others? Then by your above example they should just accept that the image that didn't get as many likes is not as good.
Or, the people Not clicking the like button made a mistake, they were wrong and had they been as knowledgeable as you in what is a good and what isn't then they wouldn't have made that mistake and both images would have had an equal amount of upvotes.

Picasso's art isn't really abstract, think more along the lines of Pollock for abstract (he's not just the punchline to jizz joke) but that aside, out of those two pieces (both are Picasso, just 50 odd years apart) I would take the Bull's head as over the first communion.

See, I would have clicked like on a different piece of art, by the same artist, than you. Am I wrong?

And again, how well something is received here can only be judged by likes so why the complaint when a posted image doesn't get the same amount of likes as another piece?
You are either saying people are wrong and they should have clicked like on that image or what? There's a conspiracy here? LL Mods are removing likes?

 

Honestly it is really simple either that image was not as popular, for whatever reason, than the other or... Not as many people saw it.

I am told I am not getting your point, or maybe you have not explained yourself well enough... But I don't think your getting mine either.

If someone chooses to Like one image but not another because they don't like it or don't like it as much, no matter how much you think you understand what is Good and what isn't, it is a matter of personal taste and you cannot tell someone theirs is wrong without coming across as arrogant, no matter how much you might disagree with their opinion.

Let me quote you here..

"I mean, all people post here are pictures of hot guys and girls 95% of the time. So, I don't understand how someone can get more upvotes than someone else for posting practically the same thing as everyone else."

You are assuming that everyone has the same idea of what is "hot" as you do... And I'm arrogant?

[adoiad]

Crow made a post about how screenshots that are of similar visual quality didn't always receive similar likes, for whatever reason. I merely agreed that I noticed the same and that it was odd how there is some inconsistency. I then pointed out how I personally don't like the "art is subjective" saying because it seems like a bit of a cop out response. Take the film "The Room" for example, it is notorious for being a BAD movie, that doesn't mean someone can't enjoy watching it, but it is still a bad movie. That's really the only point I tried getting across. I could've maybe explained myself better. And with that I think I've used way too much dialogue in a screenshot thread already and so I'll omit myself from the discussion now. I sincerely didn't mean to offend anyone or tell anyone what to like.

Allow me to quote myself and explain to you what it means.

 

”So, I don’t understand…”

 

This is the part that states that everything in the comment is my opinion. No one ever had to agree with me, as that wasn’t the point. I was simply saying something that was on my mind. Nothing more, and nothing less. Is that clear and simple enough, or do I need to spell it out more?

Also, I never said that everyone has the same idea of “hot” as me. That just you making assumptions, as nowhere in my comment did I say that.
