After many years of being member at dA After many years of being member at dA, I've quit more than 4 years ago for good after one disaster layout after another. Not to mention, the owner and the other admins doesn't give a crap about anything and on top of that, they're outright enabling cyberbullying and allowing grotesque pornography and way too many ppl should had been banned forever. Also let's not even mention ai, something that many artists and designers were against it from day one. But really though, Deviantart should have had their website completely shut down for a long time ago. Ut no longer has purpose. Most serious artists has left this website for years.

Nowadays it’s a complete joke compared to other art sites Yea… it’s only good for saving great and decent quality art that’s not problematic and toxic. Whether you block people and turn on the mature content filters, you’ll always get toxic content. No wonder some people stick to tumblr. I’m annoyed at the 100 tag block and 24 or 48 art per page limit unless you want to scroll down through hundreds if not thousands of content… Can’t change your username at all even though a lot of us users are ashamed or embarrassed of our old names…

Clogged up with AI rubbish Clogged up with AI rubbish, promotes selling such things for money. It has lost the fun charm it had when I was younger. The stash is useful and community events can be fun for prompts but that's about it.

Ran by a bot Overall thought was a good place to post art, but terrible customer service, I upgraded to core membership to change my user name but kept getting an error, I contacted them about 5 times and no reply so I cancelled the subscription and went else where. I think it’s ran by a bot.

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.
