Unless I am mistaken, Deviantart has replaced the "All" tab for in the gallery section for each artist with a "Recommended for You" one, thus resulting in it no longer being possible to check the complete gallery of an artist in chronological order.The "Recommended for You" seems to still display all the creation of the artist you are looking the gallery of, but in an order that is supposed to put the art he might be more interested in first. What the actual fuck? And how do I do to see the most recent work?Why are they doing this? How does a decision like that make any kind of sense?
>>147161538It's been dead for years, even before all the AI slop started flooding the site it was filled with retards spamming the site with unedited screenshots from shows and random images downloaded from google
>>147161597Even though, up until now, the art recommendation I got when I go on the front page have been okay regularly enough and they even have a toggle where you can opt out of getting AI image displayed an it work almost all of the time.I still got art and artists that interest me when I go there. Why suddenly make things worse like that?
I just checked my (absolutely ancient) Deviantart page and it still has the ALL tab.I just checked the Twokinds Deviantart page and it still has the ALL tab. Their last upload was yesterday.Is it just something that shows up if you're logged in? Or is it something that the user sets? What userpage are you looking at, to compare if it's page-specific or maybe login-specific?Well, regardless, I think this is just doing the thing that everybody should've already done long ago: Encouraging people to stop using Deviantart. In that respect, I fully support it.
>>147161883>my (absolutely ancient) Deviantart pageIt's a pre-2011 account?
>>147161939The oldest image is nearly 20 years old.
>>147161959Wew. Not many people who can still access 2000s accounts anymore, and we're in 2025 now. Why did you stop using Deviantart?
>>147161538What the fuck? It wasn't like this two hours ago
>>147161983>Why did you stop using Deviantart?I stopped uploading mainly because I wasn't drawing. I'd tried a handful of sketches and the old draw-the-cans trick for a bit, but ultimately I just got bored. At this point, it seems more useful to focus on improving things I'm interested in. And while being able to draw things is kind of neat, it's not really something I cared that much about. I'd rather program computers or even learn languages over learning to draw.As for why not browsing Deviantart, it just got worse over the years and everybody else just seemed to stop using it. People moved to Tumblr and then once porn got banned over to Twitter. Honestly, DA is still better than trying to scroll thru Instagram, but it's just not something that I visit unless an artist links theirs.I'm also not sure what DA's currently policy is for copyright. I remember back when DA was claiming copyright to all the artwork being posted there.
>>147161538Yeah I checked my account and someone else's. Mine is the same but the other has that. Even doing gallery/all doesn't work. They'll either fix it so that all works again or remove it because enough people complain. DA has been making nothing but bad decisions but I've seen them undo some really bad decisions.
>>147162097>Draw-the-cans trickHmm?
>>147162250Sit down, put a can on a table, draw it. Repeat with different cans in different positions. The idea is to eventually get the general idea of how to draw shapes as they visually appear. It's pretty easy to just draw simple shapes, but getting a 3D object onto a 2D page is harder than it might look at first glance. I might have a better idea these days, but I've still not practiced it and really should if I wanted to commit to working with my drawing skills.Cans are fairly simple objects but not so simple that they are trivial, so they make good practice. They're also very easy to get a bunch or soup cans or vegetable cans, so you're pretty much always going to have some available.
>>147161538>Why are they doing this?Enshittification
Logged in, it still has the All tab. Logged out (in a in-Private tab), it shows the recommended thing instead but it's still showing all my drawings in a chronological order. I presume they're still webbing it out but people will be complaining much before they are able to, especially since it'd make far more sense to keep both the All and the Recommended tab for convenience of most popular artworks.
>>147161538I got upset over this as well, but I realized that whenever you perform a search it displays the results chronologically.So if you just search an asterisk (*) in the Recommended folder, it displays it all in proper order again. I'd take a screenshot demonstrating this, but the issue only affects me on my phone. My desktop still shows me the normal All gallery.
>>147162439Neat, saving this advice if shit hits the fan, thanks for saving my life broski.

>>147161983nta but my account is probably from 2003 and even though everything i posted there is absolute garbage, it still gets at least 1 favorite every year or so.
>>147161883I checked my own page and it's there, but it's not on Twokinds if we're talking about the same guy. In fact, https://www.deviantart.com/twokinds/gallery/all takes me right to "Recommended For You". It might be your cache
>>147163166if anything at least deviantart is good for outsider art, I've always had an interest in the creations of the massively autistic
If DA is dead for years, where do I go and post art then? I will not resort to Twatter
I nearly had a heart attack last week after I saw a user reposting my shitty blueberry morphs. But, because I had dumped anonymously on bbw-chan, I can't really say anything about it. I can't risk blowing my cover because I'd end up attracting the severely autistic side of the fatfag "community".
>>147163639What's wrong with the fatfag community? Also why write "community" like that?
>>147163580There's Newgrounds and Pixiv. Otherwise you could find online galleries for specific things like Furaffinity for furry art.
>>147163656>What's wrong with the fatfag community?Autism.>why write "community" like that?Communities are a farce.
>>147161538>It's realThe Recommend For You home pages are already ass, and I kept getting AI sloppa, even after disabling it and other crap. I just bookmarked my profile to serve as a homepage instead.>Why are they doing this? It's weird that all sites are so obsessed with algorithm-based content viewing. From a feed/dashboard perspective, it makes sense, but not in this form. Just let me search through the profile like normal. Why do you need to show me another user's personal gallery based off my favorites?
>>147163166Can this be considered "art?"
>>147163639Anon I'm gonna be real with you, I don't think anyone gives a flying fuck that you fap to blueberry people. As long as it's not morphs of actual people no one can really judge when it's so benign.
>Eclipse very openly and blatantly kills site>Refuse to reverse itWhat was their endgame?
>>147163639>post something anonimously >retards on deviantart reupload it
So, uh, not to be a dick or anything but where are people supposed to go for SFW fanart now? Is that just not gonna be a thing anymore?
>>147164025>As long as it's not morphs of actual people Jada Pinkett Smith hippo is not a real person.>>147164091So true, but I'm more amused than mad. It's not like I'm going to report them for reposting the morphs. I literally have no ground to stand on at this point.
>>147161538No doubt they did this because of the slop galleries with thousands of near identical images.
>>147164040They're trying to update and improve the site. The problem is that it's all horrible and unwanted changes that make the site worse and they're not doing anything about the real problems plaguing it.
>>147163166HOLY SOVL
>>147161538The All tab seems fine.
>>147164761It's not a change for all profiles. Check enough and you'll find one that is changed and even typing in all at the end will just give you recommended instead.
>>147164776Humm, that could prove to be problematic for saving pages for storytimes.... I guess I should save a few more this weekend.
>>147161538>Why are they doing this?Enshittification.Jews really hate autists for some reason.
>>147164793They seem to be testing it out so I'm hoping it'll be fixed before it's forced on everyone. It's bad enough featured is the first thing you get when going to an artist's gallery but the ability to see all in order of submission should at least always be there.
>>147161538DA is owned by AI business interests, nothing there is done for your sake
>>147163723>It's weird that all sites are so obsessed with algorithm-based content viewing.It's not. They want you to see the content that THEY want you to see for various reasons (advertisers, pushing certain views and shaping perception, etc.). I don't know how that applies to Deviantart specifically but that's mostly what it's about. They control the algorithm and thus control what you see.
>>147163639bbw-chan is getting worse now. Tons of unrelated threads made by autists who don't know board culture, for the stupidest fucking thingsI frequent bbw-alt and there's so many useless threads which are taking up space, like for completely unknown artists or fetishes no one cares about, sometimes flooding it with furryshit tooit sucks
>>147163639no one cares that you have a fetish. there's literal streamers who wear it on their sleeve. Goosworx literally has a head drilling fetish and inflation fetish. no one cares unless you let it bother you.
>>147164962He's not worried about people who don't care. Anon's worried about the freaks that do. They are the ones you really watch out for.
>>147164930that's terriblecan you spare a moment to tell the class about the golden age of bbwchan
>>147164930That site was always dogshit. It was only ever good for archiving purposes because it's so obscenely slow, which made it only marginally better than the /ceg/ threads on /trash/.
>>147163223based
>>147161538Beware of the gore posting troll known as Night Mare Combat
>>147166688Is that the guy creating hundreds of alts just posting gore and stealing decent tier fetish art? Fuck him.
>>147161538All still works as the default on mobile
>>147164114I'm just miffed because there's this specific retard that posts my things and gets all the brownie points
looks like they fixed it
>>147164930>I frequent bbw-altI barely ever touch that board, but I'll sometimes scroll through it for a quick laugh. >many useless threads which are taking up spaceThe Bbw-chan mods need to stop being pussies and just ban Wildcat's IP. Hell, fucking rangeban him. Assign him a tard wrangler or whatever.>>147166994Fuck reposters, honestly.
