Fair Warning

2 min read

I'm done with DeviantArt. dA has been annoying me mildly for years, but I've always tried to keep a presence here and hold out hope that things will get better, because truthfully, I still liked a lot of the features and convenience that DeviantArt had. I considered it for a while the best way to make a gallery of your art, despite the flaws and small shortcomings. But I'm just fed up. Not even just the AI thing, but the cumulative frustration I've been gathering over how dA is run. I'm going to be deleting my gallery starting from oldest deviations to newest, so I'm telling you guys now to save whatever you want before I delete it.

I understand this may be upsetting to hear, to be honest I really wish I could keep my stuff around. DeviantArt was where I first started taking art seriously, and I've made a lot of friends on here that I still talk to, even 15 years later after I made my first account. But nothing's gonna change until actions are taken. and if I continue using the site the way it is, then that's me basically showing that I'm okay with everything going on. and I'm not. DeviantArt doesn't meaningfully contribute to my career as an artist anymore, and now I think it's time to say goodbye. if meaningful changes to the site are taken place in the future, maybe I'll come back. But, to be realistic, I doubt it.


You can find me on tumblr at https://cubesona.tumblr.com/, Newgrounds at https://cubesona.newgrounds.com/ Art Station at https://www.artstation.com/cubesona Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/Cubesona Twitter (not sure for how much longer) at https://twitter.com/Cubesona instagram at https://www.instagram.com/cubesona/ and Pillowfort at https://www.pillowfort.social/Cubesona The internet as a space for artists is changing, really quickly. We'll need to adapt and we'll also need to be clear about which changes we'll tolerate and which we won't. The way DeviantART is headed, I will not tolerate it.
