Do Artists listen to reviewers?

Posted by Knives - November 20th, 2008


It's a question I ask myself very often, I see many flash submissions with just 30 reviews but no responses.

I think it's a shame that artists don't take more time to respond to their criticisms both good and bad.

I'd really like to see the relationship between author and viewer expand, I'm sure it would lead to more ideas and better submissions.

Out of 233 reviews only 69 have responses, which I guess isn't a bad ratio, but it's a shame that I'll never know if my voice is even read by these authors.

Oh well. What do you folks think?

It depends on who the artist is. Like I wouldn't expect somebody insanely popular like Adam Philips to read every one of his 1 million plus reviews. But if it was just some newcomer who is still grasping the ropes of flash and I gave them advice I'd like to know they took that advice on board.

Oh well of course, Adam Phillips and other few authors with his talent don't really need the advice anyway.

But I do agree that it's nice to know what they feel about your advice.

This was going though my head just now. if i had more submitions i would give my responses on the coments i got more. you can never know waht is going though someone's head when reading a review.

I 100% agree...

The audio portal is much different though. Out of 252 reviews in the audio portal, I have 179 responses.

Yet in the flash I have 22 reviews and 9 responses. Which is horrible. I mean. Less then 50%.

It's not hard just to take time an respond to people is it? I mean whenver. No matter what. I always respond when somebody gives me critisim... Its shows that I actually care what people think.

Anyways man. I think you touched a good point here.
