:bulletwhite: DDs With Fewer Than 2000 Views:bulletwhite:




In 2015 there were quite a few journals called "DD Highlights" (find by using a #ddhighlights tag) to feature DD favourites according to the taste of the person putting out the journal. I put one out about minimalism. I've been meaning to put out a journal that highlights DDs with less than 2000 views but just managed to make time to actually do one. The project was promoted by Mrs-Durden, but I actually found out about it when reading an article by Lintu47 I clicked on when it was a submission to DevNews. She and I commented about DDs and I mentioned about noticing some DDs that had fewer than 2000 views, or even less than 1000.

It seems to me ever since the DDs were removed from the footer there has been less attention to them by the community. When something is out of sight then it can be out of mind, too. When the DDs were in the footer they caught the attention of anyone checking out the message center. Now, people need to consciously click on the DD link from the Today page or if the link has been added to the header on the profile page. A few years ago DDs could easily get 5, 10, 15, 20 (or more) thousand views in a day. These days I've noticed some with less than 2000 views TOTAL. This is crazy. The 'theory' has been when the site removed the DDs from the footer and moved the link to the today page then the exposure would be greater. I just don't see it. If the exposure is greater then shouldn't there be more pageviews for each DD rather than less?

So, I thought I would feature DDs with fewer than 2000 views. Is the day of DDs coming to an end? Take the time to look at these DDs that deserve more recognition.

A funny ghost story with 1314 views:

House H(a)untingThe apparition raised its translucent arms and began to wail.
“I come from Hell! From Hell! From— Bloody hell.”
The spirit of Edmund Aspinall grabbed at his shroud as it headed downwards. He pulled it up round his shoulders again and wrapped it around his body.
“You don’t half feel the chill once you’re away from the flames of eternal damnation.”
Miss Amelia Gould, medium-slash-estate agent, nodded sympathetically and entered ‘Hell’ into the address box on the form.
She looked up to see Mr. Aspinall still rearranging his shroud. He smiled weakly.
“I apologise for the rather revealing attire. If I’d realised I was going to be wandering around like this for all eternity, I would have made sure my nearest and dearest had known to bury me in a pair of drawers.”
“Please don’t worry about it, Mr. Aspinall. I am a professional.” Miss Gould put the form to one side. “So, I take it you’r

:faint: Believe it or not it didn't take a long time to find these 'under 2000 views' features. Unbelievable. I could have featured many more but you get the point. Support DDs. Look at them.

Thank you, so much, for featuring my fractal!  I'm honored!:iconflowerthnxplz:I have over 1,000 views, and I've never had anywhere remotely close to that.  lol  I love all of the other artwork you featured, as well.  I, too, really miss seeing the DD's on the bottom of the screen.  It was a treat.  It's like they're hidden, now, and it doesn't make any sense.  In fact, it lessens the DA experience, somewhat.
