They can't reform the website when it became an unofficial forum for furries and degenerates obsessed with fetish porn (feet, scat, diapers, inflation etc)

The only way to be reformed is to ban porn from the site. Maybe without degeneracy, good, respectable artists will come back and use DA as a platform.
Till then, DA is that place barely any artist want to be associated with.

To be honest, I never expected that name to be taken literally. I always saw the "deviant" part of the name meaning the people posting are deviants for art, obsessed by art.

I never took that name literally as implying it is a site to post only lewd shit

eh i imagine the intent was more along the lines of "deviate" meaning just being different or whatever. could have been called "alternativeart" or "uniqueart" or something along those lines and had the same meaning. wouldn't have stopped fetishists from overtaking it anyway i guess.

[Anonymous No.3646982]

It was initially meant to be the opposite of what the "deviant" stood for. Basically, it was really about being different from the norm, not porn related, but "contrarian" really. Too bad autistic people and degenerates took the name and ran with it, and then funnily enough porn became normie tier popular aka trash, basically 180ing the original standpoint for the name for that site.

Maybe I'm just using it wrong but it's never been a priority for me. I've gone months, years even, without uploading anything just because it's such a forgettable experience. I did buy a subscription last year though, because it was a buy 3 months get 3 months free sale, mostly because I wanted to change my name. Didn't do much for me at all in any other area to be entirely honest. The biggest thing I'll give them is the fact that you get to keep your paywall features even after your sub runs out, which is cool. Other than that, I've never seen any positives in using it.

Redpill me on DeviantArt if anyone has the knowledge or time.

I'm a bit hazy on the details, but originally it was basically Myspace/FA for art and the most functional website for posting at the time. Web 1.0 was the dark ages. Your artsite choices were boomer painting forums and curated fanart collections.

dA came along and you could post digital art and subjects that had no traction elsewhere. Stylized works, animu, overcooked renders, faggot OCs. It was also the only place to host a portfolio for free. The "deviant" angle is that it wasn't restrictive like other sites, you could make tumblr art and post it next to your oils.

What really killed it was poor moderation, the algorithm changing, and 14 year olds.

[Anonymous No.3647185]

I unironically fap to shit tier, worse than /i/ fetish art from there so I cant really say anything. I figure ill do commissions there eventually, but anonymously with an alternate artstyle.

[Anonymous No.3647329]

>>3647162

DevianArt is now addicted to degenerate art/porn since it's what moves traffic in the site and new paying users.
If for some reason, DA staff decided to push back and ban that sort of content, millions of users would leave the site (probably flooding tumblr instead) and the website would be empty, slowly dying.

People no longer use DA, good artists that is. If they push away the shit from the site, it would be an empty site since no good artists would want to come back.
Good artists that want some online recognition are in places like artstation and the amateur artists have places like twitter and the sorts to post their shitty, fan made crap.

DeviantArt is doomed to be the place where you get diaper porn and foot fetish pics of tails licking sonic's soles

[Anonymous No.3647383]

>>3644974
Pretty fuckin shit for any kind of promotion
From the perspective of an animufag tho

Pixiv has a pretty decent tagging system in which people can discover stuff easily, the amount of users actively discovering new shit is also a lot compared to dA. Oh yeah, and shit art is actually regarded as shit, even in rookie rankings on Pixiv.
In dA, you must post your stuff into groups and still have to sort through dozens of folders every fucking group. After sharing to groups, good luck getting noticed by anyone.
After a while I just feel like there's no point to it anymore. 10 minutes to post to groups and the amount of views I get is not even a tenth of what my Pixiv can easily get on average
Twitter is also pretty shit to be honest, at least once some people remembered you or followed you, the views and interactions start getting constant and actually improves
I'm a bit neutral on Tumblr, but I have been able to get more shares than dA

[Anonymous No.3647386]

>>3647383
Pixiv just as DA has virtually no concept art.

Deviant is basically what art would be if liberals could shape it according to their taste. Diversity. Diverse shit that is.

[Anonymous No.3647393]

>>3647386
What do you mean by concept art tho?

https://www.pixiv.net/ranking.php?mode=original
The original rankings page have some of the stuff iirc, mostly good illustrations and there's no way I can get any of my art on it yet

yeah, I dunno how did Pixiv end up so differently from dA, both is an art site and both have their own share of degenerates. How did dA manage to get such a huge amount of furries, vores, giantess etc etc while Pixiv is still pretty dominated by mainstream animu fanarts

[Anonymous No.3647404]

>>3647393
By concept art I mean not illustration, but more of a production design. Artstation has both illustration and concept art for example. Pixiv is basically a illustration hub, mostly focused on animu style work. I think it is a Japanese site, so maybe it is why.

As for deviant- I stopped even uploading anything there like couple years ago. I don't think there is many serious artists there- like professionals working in the game/ film industry. It seems to me it is mostly thumblr level shit. I mean I am glad those people found a place for themselves, but damn there is nothing but cringe and degeneracy. I would kill myself if I found my kids post furries there. Or anywhere else for that matter.

Dude for years if you wanted to use Pixiv you had to find a tutorial to know how to browse the site, or just know Japanese. Pixiv is pretty much all East Asian with a small but (probably?) growing western base posting as well. There's even translations for tags now too.

>with a small but (probably?) growing western base posting as well.
And you can tell because I'm seeing the same faggoty deviantart MSPaint fetish porn posters who've actually been kicked off of dA starting to use pixiv, probably due to pixiv's relaxed rules on porn.

You wouldn't believe how quickly the shift of 99.9% again art only Pixiv was like 3 years ago, then it turned into a western lite board in just 2 years. I believe within the next 3 years, it's going to be like 4chan, mostly ran by Americans, even more so thanks to level DA and mostly Tumblr thanks to their changes as well a while back ago..

https://chat.deviantart.com/ it's pretty dead though. The forum is also pretty dead and full of the same 50 people that spam their shitty art.
https://www.deviantart.com/watching/ lists all your watches with columns of what you can turn on and off.
Groups were only good in the beginning but now everyone ignores them because they've been flooded with 7 year old works and garbage.
They also doubled the subscription costs in the past couple years from $25/year to $50.

In my opinion, they ruined the site when the changed the popularity algorithm to prefer underused categories. There is no category moderation so any mislabeled odd category with a couple comments and ten favorites gets right to the top of the 24 hour section. Looking right now there seems to be a heavy bias on animated things.

I think they're trying to bring reddit on to the site or get some of those ARG youtubers audiences on there with this stupid roleplay bullshit they blasted out in the hot topics. They're trying but they're doing it wrong.

I actually like that the website clearly defines what does or does not constitute pornography. It doesn't stop "photographers" from getting around it by having models spread their legs as wide as they can to expose themselves.

DA is more misses than hits, but there are some genuinely talented people on there. Unfortunately these appeal mostly to the normie crowd as the weirdos make up the majority of the website. You've really gotta work hard and be patient to build your own niche there.

[Anonymous No.3651192]

>>3644974
i'm sad its dead because its superior to tumblr, twitter, and the other popular places artists upload. it gives you an actually gallery where you can have folders and there is a search function so you can look up a piece. twitter is just a constant update of art and is hard to find an older piece and tumblr is the same but relies on tagging, so if the artist didn't tag it you probably won't find it.
