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

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.

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.

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.

Official company stance is to support Israeli Zionist apartheid Recently launched a frontpage art collection taking a firm stance in support of Israel in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This is a highly nuanced issue, where Israel hold all of the cards and Palestine is left with only bad choices, or extinction. I refuse to partake in support of this site.
