...Feeling for the users? Making Pixiv a better place...?
How dare you say that, manipulating the votes and the rankings!
How about some guilt towards the users...
...Hold on there, Suwako.
What do you know and what are you imagining that I've done?
I'd like to hear how and what you think I've been manipulating.
...Artificial addition of points and bookmarks...
...I suppose you've been giving extra reputation to users you've chosen!
...Or instead, maybe you've chosen users and slashed their reputation points,
and you've been creating rankings you agree with... Am I wrong?

......Well, I'll give you 30 points.
That's not entirely correct, and there's too much missing.
What...?
Hell, I'll let you in on everything.
You were correct in that I've been adding to the number of views, reputation points, and the number of bookmarks...
and indeed I've been giving high marks to users I've chosen, landing them in the rankings...
Now, how do you think I've been doing all that?
How should I know...
You've been adding and subtracting points every day, or something...
It Seems Kanako Is Making a Website for Drawings that Everyone Can Enjoy -The End-
I'm one of a number of moderators, but even so....
I can't go through each and every one of the tens of thousands of users on this site.
I don't have the time nor the help to do it alone... but this is my personal "pet project."
I can't simply rely on someone else, either....
So I made 10,000 accounts for the sole purpose of adding points.
Accounts with no profile image and nothing but a nickname and a bare-bones self-introduction.
Once I register a user's name and tags to an account,
it gives out points and bookmarks like clockwork whenever that user makes a new post... but not every time, of course.
...These accounts don't just add points, either; they automatically register artists as favorites, too.
So even if the artists don't post anything, their favorites will slowly increase one by one.
After all, there isn't a single artist out there who would mind his or her number of favorites increasing.
With this, I can keep a safe distance... yet continue towards my goal....
...and one by one, I establish a new order.
...If those artificial accounts are traced back to the source, what are you going to do?
...I told you already, didn't I? I don't add anything but the most useless of information to these accounts.
There's no point at all in trying to trace them.
...Why are you working so hard to do something like this?
Why are you going so far as to rig trends and popularity?
Users like new things. There are artists that create all kinds of great things, but if they keep drawing, there's no doubt they'll decline....
...Actually, there are plenty of cases of artists who post frequently for years and gain a pointlessly high rating because of it.
You'd be correct to call it the fruit of continued labor, but ancient, soon-to-be withered trees crowding out the new sprouts isn't something that anyone would call healthy....
So I became decline itself... I find those trees that can no longer draw things with charm... and I prune them.
...Well, I don't prune all of them. There are a few that I leave out....
I have to do it to preserve the balance. If I don't keep a few veterans around, I'll be in a tight spot, after all.
...And in doing so, you can rig every user's rating?
...Not a chance. Affecting every rating is impossible.
...Basically, this whole time you've been saying "rig this" and "manipulate that," but I don't reduce how many points anyone gets.
That whole thing about pruning out guys on the decline is the only revision I make; Afterwards, I let things be.
...In the end, they simply go back to the real rating they would've had anyway.
Isn't it strange to toss around words like "injustice" or "rigging" over something like that?
*FWOOOOSH*
*TAP TAP*
...Even so, there are those idiots who confuse their ratings with true ability.
They say that Pixiv is a world of real skill and actually believe it....
Do they want to say that their high ratings mean they actually have some skill?
...Such stupidity! They've simply been granted a manufactured score and nothing more!
...Well, it's true that drawing pictures requires that kind of self-consciousness.
There are some things that only guys who are full of themselves can't seem to draw.
If they manage to develop some actual talent through all of this, we both come out ahead... and no one loses anything. It's a beautiful relationship, isn't it?
...Stop joking around...!
What... Just what do you think those users and their drawings are all about?!?
Are you planning to expose anything you just said?
Rankings, ratings, favorites... Pixiv is full of nothing but dirty fraud!
...Everyone already realizes that much.
Huh...?
...This newfound knowledge you have? Everyone realizes it, if only a little bit.
...Yet users still won't quit using Pixiv... Why do you think that's the case?
Because there's not a single drawing website that has as much size, as many users, or as much influence as Pixiv!
It's not a question of users believing or not believing, knowing or not knowing.
Whether they believe in the site or not, they have no choice but to abide by it!
The users who are serious and dedicated, the users who are pretending to be artists, the users who are just fooling around,
No matter what they plan to draw, in the end, they only have Pixiv to rely on.
...In light of everything, the large majority of people don't care about something like manipulating a few ratings.
If it means they get to see newer, better things, then just doing that much isn't such a big deal, is it?
The only people who'll be hurt by this are those silly ones who would stake their entire sense of self-worth on something as trivial as some rating on some website on the Internet.
*WHOOOOOSH*
*TAP TAP*
*WHOOOOOOOOSH*
...Do about it....
...Huh? Do what?
If there are silly people like you say, what are you going to do about it?!?
What if there are people who stake all their time and effort on their posts?!?
After they're done feeling like celebrities just because you lifted them up....
...and they're tossed out because you're done with them, just what should they do?!?
...Even a pig will climb a tree if you flatter it enough.
If that pig falls out of the tree, it might even cry.
I don't know and I really don't care.
I'll be too busy flattering another pig to worry about it.
...Anyway, I don't intend to coerce anyone into drawing....
If they personally develop a sense of duty, then they'll have no choice but to draw, right?
