Yo! I'm replying to your message here because I don't want to spam the deviant's deviation with our conversation. Yes, that's exactly what leeching means. The person who disagreed or try to tell that person off replied to an ol' comment to try and divert some of the viewers onto his page. I mean if that comment about the bride's body was uncalled for, offensive, or as the replier said sexist. Then the deviant would have hidden that comment, but he didn't, 'cause he knew it was true and a compliment. Several months later he receives a DD and then come viewers who are curious about the DD. They fave, read the DD description and then look at the 1st page of comments to find something they can agree on or disagree on. Most of the times they just agree like "lol!!! Same here!" "I second this comment" blah blah, etc. Again the that replier, I don't know why he bothered replying to that comment unless he knew the photographer, or the people in the picture, or there was something biting his or her ass to go ahead and reply. Now onto why they would want to receive pageviews, more pageviews means more people will look at your gallery or just face of it. If it's above mediocre they'll eiher some of your work or you. That's all I can say. I think I've found somebody to be an example. I don't know how often you look at DD's. I only click on the ones that attract my attentions or interests, but in all of which I've clicked on, I always find a user with the deviant name of "ScorpionLover" now I think you may find that person in the deviant's page that we commented on. Why would you refresh the DD category and drop a comment in each every one of them? To acknowledge and adore the user's work or to spam your page in every DD given that hasn't gone farther than the 1st page of comments. Think about which is most likely. I don't know what their true motives are, but in a site like these it's always about the page views and that come 1st to most users. Well, that's all I can say.
