Why are icons addictive?

[conuly]

You'd think 50 would be enough for anyone, but now I want more. Maybe 100... Hm. I'm hardly about to reiterate the oh-so-popular suggestion, but any chance, do you think, of people being able to buy ever more icons... *plots and schemes*

Yes, I know, this is pathetic. Sorry. While we're on the subject, why do so many people make icons that all look alike? Is it just that they all decided that they like this one style, so they're only going to make icons in that one style, even though it's virtually impossible to distinguish one from another? And what's with the tiny text? If a person with normal eyesight is unlikely to be able to read the text, don't you think it should be made a little larger? Maybe?

On my little free account, way down here, I can only have three icons. I feel your pain, I have SO many ideas and picture I want to use. I'd pay for a paid account but what with me hardly updating my journal I don't want to risk wasting my money. I'm a money-hog.
