I think it's a great concept, Amitt.
Nothin wrong with payin it forward. We recently have more people giving back in the sketchbooks area, and hopefully that becomes a long-term habit and a rule of thumb. Perhaps eventually, that will evolve into people leaving more insightful comments and crits as they develop their language skills and initiative to leave anything at all?
I don't know if the ratio truly favors the takers over the givers, but I would assume it's probably true. I'd imagine somewhere deep inside, the taker might become slightly influenced to follow by example via the giver or community? That's probably not always the case for some people, but probably for the general majority.
The selfishness for some is probably linked to laziness for the most part, which would explain why more people switch completely over to something like facebook. You rarely see anything other than likes or quick drive by comments on there. Seems more like a place to present ideas without any actual discussion, but rather just to see who agrees with you.
