Nope, I really really appreciate when people tell me that they've made a button or changed their existing one. I try to maintain my wall of mutuals. I'll add it on next update, thank you!
That's part of why some time ago I purged all my people buttons and later brought back the buttons of people who are friends or I think are cool.
I'm not dead, but I tend to not update regularly with exception to my blog maybe.
Similar to Hifumi, that is part of the reason why I eventually set the profile to private and got rid of the button wall. Number of "followers" and "views" felt like a distraction from genuinely engaging others. This is also why I rarely "like" things; I'd rather leave comments or send emails.
That's why I keep my affiliates and button wall separate and prioritize the former when checking dead links.
I still gotta lean on the "like" when I want to say "I have seen this" but I don't feel like I have anything worthwhile to add, but I totally understand and respect those who don't want to interact with those metrics at all.
The Vaporeon collection looks so cute!! The build-a-bear looks like a great gift!
I realize the picture alone doesn't give a sense of scale, but the B-A-B plush is pretty big!
No worries, good luck! I like your models/designs.
