How oblivious are you?

Not to insult anyone, if you find this insulting, then you might have a problem.
Anyway, I was once against posting commission work as it was not me who drew it, I only paid for it. I find it annoying when searching for art, I find two or even three of the same thing, posted on several accounts. I don't like the thought of posting it for someone else to find during their search and lead them to my account which they watch because of a piece I didn't draw. I don't like undeserved watches which is why it cuts me when I watch someone and out of niceness, they watch back. I know they're trying to be nice but personally, I don't like it, especially knowing that when they get a submission notice from me, it's not gonna matter cuz they're not really interested.
Going off topic here but I did find out that I can post in scraps and it won't come up in searches or browsing. Only my current watchers and anyone who looks through my scraps will find it but really, who looks through someone's scraps without the intention of watching anyway.
So I began to post commissioned work in scraps, hoping that my current watchers will see it and go watch the artist who actually drew it too, if they aren't already watching them. Kinda spreading the artist's name around to get more watchers as another way of saying thank you. As such, I also don't deserve the favourites that come with it, which is why I post the artist's account link and their original post while telling you to go favourite that one.
It would be my thought that no one actually reads the descriptions that are put into any submissions. I recommend starting to.

It's not fun seeing myself progress through the community on others work but I'm still sure that it's getting around to them artists and they're actually getting more favs and watches because of it, which is why I don't stop.
