I joined back in early 2000s due to… I joined back in early 2000s due to illness I was inactive for few years, I logged back in a few days ago and here are my observations. 1: its full of potentially illegal porn or underage anime girls and illegal Ai porn including beastie and furies. there are people who upload deep fakes of celebrities also 2:the DA forums are full of trolls and cyber bullies. when I returned the first thing I was greeted by was some creepy artist : Bartales that posts nothing but creepy images of children. 3:when you report images of minors DA staff ask you for proof as in they want you to prove that the artists uploaded minors before they will do anything which is wrong on so many levels. Avoid like the plague unless you are rolf harriss and if thats the case you are sick.

The decline of a great site The staff ruined the site with the new awful, broken buggy and messy design, deleted all the characteristics that made the site remarkable and now they are unfairly and blatantly forcing us to use it when almost all of us were fine with the old design. And as if all that were not enough, they blatantly ignore their consumers. It's simply outrageous. That shows that they're a bunch of shameless coward arrogant inept incompetent morons. They don't deserve respect.

DeviantArt Review Been here for about ten months, and DeviantArt has been pretty supportive, and though i've heard a lot of criticism of this eclipse theme, I find it really nice! that's mostly because all the stars and the dark mode, and the stuff, was what got me into DeviantArt in the first place! Oh oh oh and they keep throwing about this little badges and stuff which kinda keeps me excited! (It's been much much more user friendly, and supportive than Fandom wiki, where I deleted my account after less than two weeks due to cyber bullying and terrible admins... Love ya DA!)

Trash pit cesspool for people who… Trash pit cesspool for people who glorify blatant mass-scale plagiarism and hate artists. They're not on artists' side, they're incredibly greedy. If they wanted more activity on their site, they should've spent money on making it not janky and broken for once, instead of making a glorified plagiarism algorithm while stabbing the backs of their countless users.

Not for professional/serious artists This website is a bad website for professional artists. There's no quality control, meaning that something bad will get more views than professional-level art. You'll get a lot of porn, fetish art, low effort 'art', spam and even art theft. The new layout (Eclipse) copies Artstation's layout, and there's no way to turn it off. The moderators are lazy and don't consider hiring more people. If you take art seriously, don't use DeviantArt. Try something like Artstation or Pixiv.
