![]() The problem however is when you have a good majority of users who only care about themselves and would rather push you to the point where you're better off going elsewhere.īut it's hard to get noticed when the site has a bias toward users who have either been there for a long time or have more of a professional background experience. I'm not saying that this reflects the entire community, because there are people there who actually make good art. The thing is I'm not the only one who had these issues and I'm actually glad that I walked away when I did. It's also tough to even build up a following there compared to other sites that are in existence. Sure you could go to the forums and have some conversations but they won't do you any good given the first point that's highlighted. Even then, it doesn't matter if you do because it shoves it down your throat to a point where it's going to cost you more money than it's worth and that's far worse than having to pay for an adobe subscription.Ĥ) Lastly, the community is non-existent. It pushes for you to get a membership to get features that don't even matter let alone get you artwork noticed. Now it's trying too hard to be like instagram.ģ) Money matters more than the user. It doesn't help when people have discriminating views and often have fragile egos when it comes to their artwork.Ģ) Layout sucks, hard to navigate: Way before recent times the navigation wasn't great, but everything was categorized in a way that made sense. Lets put aside all the fetish art and sexually explicit imagery because that can be any site you go to for artwork.ġ) Piss poor moderation if it's even existent at all: This allows several bad actors to get away with harassment and other forms of cyberbullying. There's really nothing to add that's already been said. Thought someone should know my experience. This is concerning, given the reputation of life's abundance. or offered me any further information or support around what went wrong. including pictures, tracking information for UPS for YOUR convenience. I sent a very detailed email to customer service. I was no compensated for my time or hassle and honestly with the last error, the customer service agent acted like I was in the wrong. I was sent 2 4 lb bags to get Duke through. and it arrived again, outside the box, NOT air tight and also has holes in it. Again spent time emailing pictures and frantic about running out of food. My second arrived (pics sent to rep and customer service) punctured, no box, with holes punched in the bag and appeared to have been tampered with. First attempt initially was lost in transit and I had to call for a replacement. Getting my auto ship food this past delivery was a horrific experience, I am sad to say. Thank you, DeviantArt, thank you for making the life of a common artist as painful and miserable as is possible. You'll sooner make it selling art at a bus stop. Predators preying on desperation and using false hope to keep you a punching bag. You'll get less trauma and anxiety from shovelling dead bodies into a mass grave than dealing with this. It's all a scam and a shil, every single one of these communities. Terrible database, terrible search functions, we only care about new and hot and popular, undiscovered shows you popular art anyway, groups are narcissistic pools of nothing which you have to beg to get into, and in return you get ignored like everywhere else. Site built up on using your desperation and dangling carrot of hope to make you upload and create free art they then ignore and somehow still manage to monetize.Īll these 'artist' websites are all barely a step above bb message boards, no matter how many flashy badges and useless trite they pile on top. ![]()
