How do you usually decide to watch somebody? You come across one or few pictures, find them interesting, go to the artist's page and look through his/her gallery. And if you really like the most of deviation, you make a decision to watch this deviant, in order to receive his/her latest pictures and activity.
That's how it should work at the best.

Because it seems it isn't so in my case :(.
Nominally I have 71 watchers. But it's more likely that the most of them doesn't like my pictures, even doesn't take a look at them, no to speak of leaving comments.
Probably it's due to that there are some people who started to watch me only because of few (sometimes because of one!) pictures, but I don't do more deviations in that style, and they don't like the rest of what I do...

So you will do me a great favour if you will ponder about if it worth to be my watcher. 
And if you'll decide that it's not, you are welcome to stop watching.

To be honest, it bothers me a lot - to have so big nominal number of watchers, who actually don't like my deviations...

I sort of enjoy having lots of watchers, even though the majority of them do very little "watching" - no comments, faves or anything.  They are welcome to be included among my watchers, even if they have no other role in my life.  If they don't comment or fave, I figure that doesn't mean they dislike my work, rather they've moved on.  If they expect me to watch them in return, oh that's so nice, I'll watch them if/when they produce something I really like.

I've done the same thing myself - some of the people I started watching back in 2007 I don't pay much attention to by now, and some of them probably aren't even at dA any more.  I suppose I could unwatch them, but I have no desire to do that unless they behave badly to me, which hasn't happened.

Sometimes I will watch someone after seeing one or two pieces that I really really like, but nothing they post after that particularly appeals to me.  So I'm a passive watcher of some people for that reason too.
