Topic: Am i a degen? 💔

I have…
COUGH…
…almost 20k favorites on this site since '23.
Where would I be placed on the non grass toucher scale? 💔
In my defense, I NEVER upvote. I almost always just favorite.

By the standards of general society? Probably a degen. Not sure what never upvoting has to do with it, aside from meaning what you like is a bit less prioritized in the occasional search involving score.
By furry standards, that's quite a lot of favorites. Over 23 favorites per day on average.

meanwhile over the last ~8 months I've gained nearly 20,000 favorites

I have severely lowered my standards for favoriting things since 2020

I have so many faves (103k) that they had to implement a cap. So I think I win the degen competition! But to answer the thread title: I think the kind of person to use the word "degen" would consider merely having an e621 account to be degenerate.

Gratz? Hope you are just being cheeky than really embarrassed, if fapping to porn is improving your life and isn't messing with your other aspects in life fav away lol.

Why would they have to implement a cap?

IIRC it was causing performance problems for the server.

Ohhhh well… you’re right.
Well, cheers to being one with you too I guess! xD

In that case, what I think I may be asking is what a CONCERNING amount is… what’d it be for you all?

Mhm, mhm. You’re definitely right.
I wouldn’t say it’s CHANGING my life though lmfao

Oh, Hey! I guess that makes me feel a bit better for myself! thanks dono. <3
Well, even at that level do you think you’re living a fine life?

Most of my life in several parts revolves around furries and nsfw content to some degree, but I have things I do outside of that so I think I'm doing fine

Only if you want to call yourself one.

Everyone here is (yes, that includes me too).
