More rants

Again placing things that won't be seen by anyone just to get them out of my head:
I can understand why there are different art sites. They serve different needs.
But when I hear an artist say "I've joined such and such site", my reaction is no. I'm not a joiner by nature – I reluctantly joined FA, after all- but once I join a particular site, that's it. I have an account on SoFurry only because I thought it would show me more (it didn't), and never looked further than that. I haven't looked at it for months. InkBunny, DeviantArt, Weasly, et al. are no go. I'm sure there are plenty of talented artists there, but since I have a hard enough time keeping up with just the few I watch on FA, why add others sites?
Even worse are the *chans: Reddit, Something Awful, 4chan, etc. are the comments section of YouTube, without content. They are just distasteful, spiteful, moral-free cesspools of hate. There is a reason I have very nice add-ons for my browser to block ads and comments (Clea.nr Videos and ShutUp for Safari). If I applied these to the *chans, it should rightly block the entire site.
