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.

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

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…

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.

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.
