To be honest, I wish Artstation would remove 'comments' and instead replace it with an option for 'constructive criticism' and 'Q&A' regarding the art piece.
What value does the comment have other than offering toxicity /ego boosting?

And a lot of good points in the thread about boosting morale with comments (which I didn't think about). Some really good points made and I hope this makes the AS staff think about things :).
Replying to this as I left this thread alone. I think the old forum days (Polycount, game artisans) were still the best way to get feedback on a piece, and it would be great to get something like that integrated into as (in a meaningful way)... Cont'd..
I do think 'likes' as a metric completely take away from any actual engagement with a piece (which requires a thoughtful interaction) and can be harmful to mental health (' Why doesn't this piece of mine get enough likes, etc').
