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.

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.

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

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.

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.
