Sad yet scary to see who wants to leave DA; it can be regrettable yet agreeable. It only has to do with one's self.
First, positive perception for DA is it's hard to steal credit for work once one has posted it (especially on a copy-guarded site like DA) only an idiot would try to claim art for there own on DA and think noone would notice; also since this being the Internet, they'd get chewed out without mercy.
One thing I find to be trouble is a crowd; not who they are, what they like, it's what they say and think. I've come to ignore things, yet there are things that really influence me both positively and negatively. But stubbornness is pride and pride is thy enemy, what matters is what you conclude among the craziness.
Big thing I find wrong with the web (not just DA) is the illusion of "originality" ("it has to be original to be anything"- 4chan). Tip: originality isn't what one strives for, it's what one obtains; what makes it original is when one makes it. The one thing that makes an artist impressive is creativity, and also can be what one can do with what's already available. To be creative yourself makes you original.
Example:s the Matrix and Avatar (JC's)
People everywhere think the "story" of the matrix is original, but if one does the research... It's not. People think Avatar is a complete knock off of Disney's Pochahontas... Again, not entirely true. But what made them fun were the variety of special effects, the characters, the setting, elements, plots, and the conflict; that's the creative thinking that was built into the stories and became big-features no one has seen before. I even support revamping things, because there's always something one can do to make it interesting (and occasionally original). Not noted, but you can dissect every little detail.
My point here is there's no rule, law or reason to original except what one does in the end.
Among the thousands of artists here, there are things you've done that no one else has done. And I hope you got to hear this. I do agree that DA can really tear one down, but that can't take away the value of what one has done and can do. The reason why some artists are popular are because they cross through the fire for even years doing what they can without backing out.
Popularity takes time, work takes effort, creativity takes optimism, and character takes experience. There is nothing here you've done that anyone else has done (not even close to 100%)
I hope this has delivered my intentions, and that I could teach something.
