Definitive proof for me that DeviantArt doesn't give a rat's shit about us (I know it's a week old or something, but I'm only finding this out). This is the final straw. Fuck DeviantArt in all their orifices for celebrating this blatant thievery. This has to be illegal on some level. If anyone is still around and wants to follow me, I will be moving to Newgrounds. Just created an account today, that will be my new home along with Ko-fi. Follow me here: https://earthgwee.newgrounds.com/ and here: https://ko-fi.com/earthgwee I think I may also lock my gallery from being seen by non-members, maybe put everything in storage. I don't know. I'm fucking done.
You know what I think was the final straw for me about finally making the move to leave DA? Coming across an art piece meant to be a tribute to the recently late Akira Toriyama, in someone's favorites. But it was just more AI. I wasn't one to have grown up with Toriyama's work, but I appreciated his impact. I don't think it can be overstated how monumental his work was for so many people. I think I can say I appreciate his work all the more after his passing, because he loved to create and he loved dragons. Whatever big project was ahead, he went at it with vigor. And for someone to boil a tribute down to a simple prompt for a machine to spit out is all the more insulting and distasteful to me. Fuck you if you think you have any artistic merit if most of your "work" consists of AI prompts.
So, I'm in the process of cleaning my gallery. Oh, my god, it has never been more clunky and tedious to do so. I now have to go into each individual piece, delete it, and then I get backed out to my home page after each deletion, where I then have to go back in and find where I left off. Every. Single. Time. And I can't find where I can mass delete stuff like I used to be able to do!? Is it just me and I just don't know where shit is anymore because I'm hardly here now?? I don't think it is. If it isn't me, this is just one more reminder of how utterly shitty this site has gotten.
