While my time here at NewGrounds has been short, I've found the feedback to be most lacking overall. The sole reason for many who publish and publicly display their works is to gain some public opinion and response that may give insight as to the artist's work and its relation to the world.

I've only found, thusfar, mixed conclusions about some of my works. For instance good feedback from any person I speak to in any real-time manor as well as a few notable things such as a favorite or good review, but then I notice that another rating might be extremely low.

Sure, people have different opinions and views but to have the extremes from a 1 to 5 in terms of voter's rankings, well that doesn't seem to be of any real use. Either something is good or it isn't. Having voting trends that seem to be polar opposites could only really mean those who vote are not well educated or informed on what they are actually voting on and so cannot make a relevant or useful vote. In all fairness, expecting true musical insight and understanding on a site like NewGrounds isn't very realistic. In places like SoundClick where music is the sole focus things seem to be more realistic and feedback is consistent.

I suppose only time will tell. I've come to NewGrounds to share my ideas and art with the world and also hoped to receive some insight in to the quality of my ideas in return. It would appear I've got some time before that will become a reality.
