I'm pretty sure a good bunch of you are familiar with what deviantArt's been up to lately... if not, allow me to extrapolate on that.
Recently(as of 2021), deviantArt collaborated with OpenSea to implement a feature called "DeviantArt Protect", which was intended for keeping Premium Members' art from getting stolen and made into NFTs. OpenSea supposedly has a feature in which detects NFTs(if I've heard correctly), but as far as I can tell, this feature doesn't do jack shite.
In addition to be inactive as fuck there(because I've better places to go now), it was high time my deviantArt account got deleted more more reasons than just being terribly inactive:
Unfavorable people asking me for ideas on dumb "situational comics about a man's size"
Bots sending chain messages(this hasn't been as common lately, but this does happen)
Bad memories of toxic users
And(although this didn't impact me too much), broken relationships
With all that out of the way, I hope you guys understand my reasons for leaving that trash fire behind.
