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.

Greedy for money, useless membership, stupid ToS Greedy for money, removes pretty much all mature content. Has insanely stupid ToS regarding nudity and intercourse. Core membership is useless, and why would anyone buy one piece of art for $5? People still upload ripped content (especially real person photoshoots) Favorites can't be set to private, even if you remove the widget from your page people still can access it with the typical /favorites link

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.

not good. WAS once a decent site, very dead now due to the atrocious new layout after being bought from another very trash site too. All the originality and creativity from the original site has been stripped away by a very basic and ugly, cluttered layout. Utterly horrid decision on their layout which was heavily criticized from the start. No more customization, way too cluttered, and all the art categories were removed. Very glitchy, too. Utter garbage.

Enjoy what you want to see, Ignore the rest. I have refined my search parameters on DeviantArt to get what I want to see: Anthropomorphic Foxes and Felines. Realistic, attractive, cute, nude not lewd. I quickly skim past hanging genitals, sex acts, unbelievably huge breasts and unbelievable body building. My preferences may not match yours, but "to each their own".
