same as everyone else (i'm quit) i am deviantart user for 5 years but only active for 3 years. why tho? same as everyone else (yes, i'm repeating the title), the site becoming unusable right after eclipse replaces the old design around 2020. additionally, i despised to AI-generated "arts". so i'm include the reason why i'm quitting from the website.

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.

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.

deviantart staff are very scummy corrupt people DA staff literally scam and steal people's money I was one of the victims they would steal your cards, private information, anything to make a dime then ban you, they love stealing your information and refuse to say anything, its utterly a scummy and illegal tactic they've been doing for years, and I'm surprised no one has filed a lawsuit against the site and company behind it.

How the mighty have fallen. I have been on this site for 10+ years and I am SHOCKED how a once beloved site has become such an unrecognizable mess. This site doesn't care about its users anymore. I've submitted multiple tickets in regards to missing comments in a reply thread over the years (4 years to be exact. Since Eclipse) and all are met with generic responses. I've even suggested possible solutions but they seem to be ignored. I've asked for a manager as well, in which case they 'mysteriously' stop responding. I have YEARS worth of roleplays I can't view due to their broken comment section. They don't care. Avoid this site, any sense of community that was once there has been destroyed.
