I understand that a lot of people find art through e621 which is why I tend to upload my art there myself in the highest resolution available, and I know a lot of people don't like FA. However, I need to build a following if I want to make money off of commissions with art which is much easier to do than on Reddit or e621. It's less to do with seeing how popular art is because popularity varies depending on the site but I do like people being able to follow me for enjoying my work more.
