At the time of writing this, I've been using deviantART for 14 years. I started using it much less after they introduced Eclipse. I started deleting my gallery after they pulled that stunt with automatically making every new and past submission available for AI harvesting/stealing. I've got 9 years of content on this account so I had to take a break, but will be deleting everything.
I'll still be posting my p2u bases because they get exposure here. For now.
DA Staff, if you're reading this- you've turned a place that felt like home for so many of us actual artists and turned it into a barely usable platform full of theft. All while ignoring your life-long users pleas to stop doing what you're doing. I hope this place goes under.
