Now that there is a cool site like this...

It's time to bring back old DeviantART. X3

Like, a new one that resembles the old, way superior one. They just keep doubling down on the shitty Eclipse redesign and, like, personally I find it pretty user-unfriendly to navigate and do basic things on. Not to mention the absolute lack of customization! ToT It's so bad, DA, come on... The whole draw for the stupid premium membership was the profile customization! Now it's like, why would I bother giving them money? And their AI "art" thing that you had to opt out of or it would just steal your art... super cool of them. No, really, stealing artist's work is totally super cool of a site artists rely on to host said art. Not scummy at all.

It feels like they tried to redesign the site *cough*totallycopyArtStation*cough* and give it this "mature and professional" look, but no. DA will pretty much always be known for people posting, like, borderline-NSFW of their Sonic recolor OCs, countless anime base recolors, and pony art. And that's okay!! It was great for everyone, super fun! Art Station is kinda intimidating, in my opinion, unless you're, like, a professional comic artist or book cover painter or something. DeviantART was for pretty much any level. And we super need that! Uhg, man. Bring back, like, late 2000s/early 2010s DA. Peak DA. Or at least make the crappy redesign toggle-able.
