DeviantArt is really endangered
People who download app versions of websites shouldn't be allowed to vote.
>>153091257>spend like 15 years aggressively cracking down on conventional porn>just shrug and allow people to generate and upload literally hundreds of thousands of shitty AI porn, literally no effort even made to censor itlole
>>153091257Sad. DA was my first exposure to fetish art
>>153091257what kinda lunatic'd download more than 10 pictures a week?
>>153091257F
>>153091257I dun get it, I just right click and save
>>153091385>I dun get it, I just right click and savethen you are downloading the resampled, lower quality resize instead of the original image.
>>153091257Expect another sudden inrush of folks to 4chan
>>153091257>Free downloads are now limited to 10FUCK OFFWHY DO THIS?
>>153091257Oh no, AI website, is your bubble poppy??
>>153091257The only thing I remember is that there was a huge trend of people on YouTube going on the site and gawking at fetish porn back in the early-2010s.
>>153091257Facing backlash doesn't mean anything these days. It's not like DA hasn't already screwed itself over years ago.
>>1530912572014 called they wanted their drama back.
>>153091257>supports slop>diesDeserved.
>>153091257DA has been dead since they allowed AIslop to flood the site. The search functions are borderline unusable so I'm not sure who's even upset about being rate limited to 10 downloads. Finding that many things worth saving in the first place is a challenge.
>>153091257The only reason I'm still on DA is because one of my closest online acquaintances simply doesn't use anything else.
>>153091257Maybe they shouldn't have let their site turn into a hell of AI and fetish shit.
>>153091257It looks like they want to kill it off faster
The real worry if Deviantart goes down is I genuinely don't know a better, more ubiquitous place for online fetish writing. Art? Twitter and Bluesky and all that bullshit work. Writing? I guess you have Ao3, but that's a different flavor of crazy fetish writing than Deviantart.
>>1530912572016 is the final nail in the coffin
>>153091257>Ban fetish porn.Heinous>It's now mostly AI slop and autism art.More heinous>The mobile app dies and you can only download 10 for free per week.WE'RE FUCKED!
>>153091257I didn't know it had an app
>>153091325Dude Nomad fucking died a few months ago. Sad
>>153091257The only reason I like DeviantArt is because people just post their art and that's it. On xitter I have to scroll through an artist reposts and other shit.>I know the media tab exists but its worse when the artist constantly post crap reaction images/etc.
>>153091257That's what they get.
>>153091257It’s really impressive how this site has done nothing but shoot itself in the foot for nearly 6 straight years now
>>153091257Dude you got to contain those people, no one is prepared for DeviantART autism.
>>153091257Deviant art has been shit for over a decade. why the fuck are there still people still trying to use it?
Deviantart went to shit when they allowed people to upload AI slop
>>153091257>10 image >Downloads>Per week>On a non-bullshit-subscription accountHoly fuck this is even more retarded than tumblr getting rid of porn. 10 fucking images thats less than 25mb's lets be srs, realistically less than fucking 15 even. Thats insane completely insane.Its 2025 zoomers only use phone apps so being fucking lazy and dropping the platform on mobile. Is yet anothing beyond retarded move, like you need users growth/stability...... Work on a mobile platform and your social media to get users to use DA stil. I mean its nice there is a platform on the site for users to sell their art/work while also being some stupid sub platform to give users more perks on the site. But fuck me once agian this is some hardcore delusional boomer stupidity. You are better off supporting newgrounds then you are at DA at this point. Because NG is completely indie sub money goes towards the monthly top 3 artists paying out in animation art & music as well as a bunch of other shit. Tom should work on users being able to sell their shit on NG's and they take a tiny ass cut of like 5-10%. Let the users decide if they want to give NG more on their part considering everyone else charges a fucking flat 30% of more for using there platform.Wow its amazing how boomers keep shooting themselves in their foot. Also correct me if im wrong but isn't anything NSFW related on DA like ultra banned now even if its text. I dont even get who uses DA accept for like old as fuck users just out of habit, growth must be tiny. Srsly dropping mobile is just insane in this day and age the fuck were they thinking. As always NG's wins by doing nothing(well almost nothing Tom is legit working on the site daily updating/testing shit all the time and asking the userbase for ideas on what to do next)
>>153091790good
>Thread already ruined by a bull janny that'll kill the thread while those shitty Death Battle threads stay up.WE'RE SUPER FUCKED!!!
>>153091816>Also correct me if im wrong but isn't anything NSFW related on DA like ultra banned now even if its textyou're wrong but they've been seriously cracking down on art depicting penetration for a while now (text still allowed for some reason)not that it really matters since the thing actually killing the site is the massive amount of AI slop flooding every single topic
>>153091822How is fucking DA off topic......... are you literally mentally retarded. That you truly believe this should only be posted on fucking /ic/.
>>153091865Ah the last drama I recall from DA other than all the AI slop bombarding the site. Was people bitching about something NSFW related. Why would you allow your platform to be filled to the brim with AI slop. Then bitch later on saying reeeee free accounts cant download images anymore. Just fucking purge all the AI slop and ban AI slop from the site. Problem mostly solved, christ I bet because all the AI slop there is tons of spiders scanning&downloading shit from the site. Which is why they are banning more than 10 images. Why the fuck would they allow there servers be filled with AI slop thats just going to bring in even more bandwith usage abuse. Like what the fuck was the goal behind all this. How much further can you fuck up such an important legacy&legendary web 1.0 site. Absolutely embarrassing once again almost tumblr tier retardation. You'd think they would be as careful as to not piss off the users they still have and pulling a tumblr of there own completely nuking the site for realizies finally after 2+ decades.
>>153091257They murderd the platform by changing the look removing porn, and whoring the content to AI companies behind the users back. The site is fucked forever.
>In February 2017, the website was acquired by Israeli software company Wix.com in a $36 million deal.ah
>>153091875>How is fucking DA off topicIt's absolutely irrelevant to both Comics and Cartoons. At worst, this shitty thread is a kiwicunt colony.
>>153092076Why do you act like a backseat janny while actively ignoring blatant shitposter threads
>>153092076Cartoons are pretty much the #1 thing people associate with deviantart
>>153091822>>153092076>>153092042I see you, Mossad
>>153091947Anon. They are whoring the site to AI companies. They are letting them train data on the uploads of free users then claiming its the legit non AI users that are the problem. Of corse there is no bandwidth. The only goid thing to come out of it usb that the site is dead and the AI slopification will make it useless for AI companies. The company will be facing a massive userbase lawsuit in the near future.
>>153091790Oh thank god. We will all finally be free.
Deviantart always seemed pretty shitty to me. So much low quality stuff always got uploaded, and you didn't even have to actually upload real art either. You get tons of nonsense photography of random bullshit or outright stolen drawings from other people posted as though it's theirs, as well as stuff taken right off google that is official art or something.
>mfw the best artists that i tried to commission them are either Retired/Dead or a bigger ego enough to not accept commissions anymore.
where the fuck should i upload my artim not using xitter or bluesky
When DeviantArt goes down, what fills the vacuum? Newgrounds?
>>153092162most artists will just go to Twitter/Bluesky (they're already there anyway). Some will try to make Patreon work and fail horribly.
>>153092096One person can only do so much. Point me in the direction of these supposed rule breaking threads, and I'll do what I can.>>153092097Liar. DeviantArt is synonymous with cringe/lolcow/jerry springer-esque faggotry.>>153092101Antisemitic shitposting is cancer and against Global Rules 3 and 6.
>>153092190I am nooooticing
>>153091257Good. Fuck deviantart.
>Point me in the direction-Yep, shitposting faggola
>>153092162There is no vacuum, all those people moved to Twitter ages ago. Only the autists are still on dA
>>153092149>>153092189reminder that twitter is not your portfolio, remember the tumblr 2018 incident
>>153092207Especially now.Site is fucked.Time to start using blogs.
>>153092215and yeah, criminals uses twitter too.
>>153091661No. NO. The fuck? How?
>>153091763It's an actual art gallery, and even the shittiest art galleries are inherently better for art sharing than sites like Twitter or Bluesky.
>>153091257It’s time to come home.
>>153092190Go to drawthreads
>>153092260sorry, i don't have money to ask them for a commission.
>>153092245Its a place to sucker artists into going so they can have their AI buddies steal their content.
>>153092268You are so fucking useless backseat janny
>>153092277What, i just said the truth.
>>153091278Well I got curious.
Interesting how the reports template guy is way more talkative than usual, something’s clearly got him spooked
>>153091445Probably because the AI spam is actively straining their servers.
>>153092275What site isn't at this point? Fuck, twitter doesn't even bother hiding it with how it's essentially a CSAM factory now.
>>153091257>>153092338Also they never dealt with that giant bot farm a while back, they killed the professionalism of a site and have a proceeded to kill the autism of the site, all that's left is basically AI spammers/scammers. You can't even upload anything on there it's like 20 clicks I'd rather have 2fa
>>153091257Fuck DA. Fuck it. Ain't what it used to be, and I actually mean it.
>>153092277>>153092299Damn you both got dubs
>>153091592>not even a friendjust cut them offI know the struggle
>>153091257Fuck, I was in the middle of downloading one of my favorite artist's gallery until I got bored and forgot for five months>well you can just use a script to mass-download his stuffI screencap the comments. Having to go back to every folder and track down the dates of each image is going to take forever. And the filenames aren't the titles anymore, they're just random strings of bullshit
>>153092246Every now and again I check back on Newgrounds and its still seemingly doing very well and has a healthy animation community. Makes me wonder why I ever left.
>>153092246>come homeThis implies deviantART stole newgrounds thunder. They're not the same thing
>>153092449I go to the front page and groan. It isn't the ng me or anyone else grew up with. Just a bunch of wia thesis films, video game fanart drawn in trendy styles and "oogly skoogly i do improv and draw characters with huge pupils and quadruple chins!!111!11"
>>153092244Cancer apparently The real surprise is that he was black the whole time
What’s the ETA on when DA is likely to actually shut down?
>>153091257DECEMBER 17TH, 2018TUMBLR BANS PORN ON THEIR PLATFORMTHE FLOODGATES OPENTHE INTERNET PAST THAT POINT IS FOREVER CHANGED FOR THE WORST3 PARAGRAPH MENTAL DISORDER MANIA, FAGGOTSHIT LARP STORYTELLING AND CORPERATE ADS ADS ADS ADS IS NOW BEING PUSHED BY 7 MILLION TOURIST AUTISTIC FURRY REFUGEES LIKE ITS A DIARRHEA TIDAL WAVE FROM THE NOW BROKEN DAM FLOODGATES OF TUMBLER ONTO THE UNSUSPECTING POPULATION OF NETIFAGS BELOW, YOU AND MEALL OF THE PROBLEMS OF THE MODERN INTERNET EXISTED IN CONTAINMENT INSIDE TUMBLR, IF DEVIANTART FALLS IT WILL BE TUMBLR SHITSTORM 2 COMPLETE WITH PORN SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR EVERYONETHIS CANNOT HAPPEN
>>153092500it will happen to twitter too
I like deviantart, don't kill it off.:( Where will I get my autismcore fetish porn now? 10 downloads a week? that's insane. Now everything is just going to be preview images and screenshots.
>>153092518Artists ditching Twitter en masse would be a good thing though
the prospect of losing both 4chan and deviantart is genuinely terrifying to me bros. I know both sites are husks and that its already been over for a long time but still
>Wrongfully oppressing a philanthropic samaritan who only wants 4chan to achieve its full potential as a discussion platform. Karmic retribution awaits, rapeape.
>>1530925684chan never dies, don't worry about that.
>>153092568The chaotic fun internet will have finally been choked out. All we will have is reddit, twitter, and tiktok. It is genuinely scary and makes me really upset.
>>153092614???? What
>>153092215Well obviously. But as an autist where can I go after Deviantart?
>>153092625I'm going to close tiktok due to aids
>>153092670Pixiv?
>>153092518Twitter's already a dead site mostly populated by bots. If that shithole implodes it won't have anywhere near the same impact. There wouldn't even be anywhere for the scammers to go; they tried brute forcing their way into Bluesky already, but the fact that place has a functional block system means they don't get any traction there.
>>153092699Hmmm I was thinking about trying Pixiv. It must be a sign. Thanks anon
>>153091325>Found Wagner on DeviantArtI was obsessed with his stuff
>>153091325What kinda lunatic downloads less than 10 pictures in a week?!?
>>153092423My rule is that nobody on the Internet is a "friend".
>>153092500>the internet is dyingMaybe we'll be able to go outside. Get friends, have sex, and be happy. Instead of here and aruge over cartoon girls' asses.
>>153092782There's a chinnese flu, aids epidemic, and flying missiles everywhere because happiness doesn't exist and crying is not an option.
Who is mourning this site besides internet historians? The site has been a ghost town for years and the app absolutely sucks ass and is one of the worst I have ever used. I hope it all gets preserved but unless Deviantart did a complete overhaul, I don't see them turning around and becoming popular again
>>153092518"twitter" you're talking about it like if it wasnt tumblr wearing the skin of twitter
>>153092568I guess there's AO3 at least.
>>153092801Yeah, and didn't ARTSTATION eat DA's lunch, like, 6 years ago?
>>153092799>chinnese flu, aids epidemicWait what?
>>153091325Fuck this just makes me sad now.
Wix took Fella and old yeller'd him at the back of a Whole Foods.
I don't want to be so negative but a significant part of me thinks we probably won't have an anonymous internet for another 15 years. It will be sterilized and made corporate safe. All the places where people are free to express themselves in ways that others see as wrongthink are slowly being obtained by people who want to censor it
>>153091257>tfw your business contracts but you're too scared to fire anyone
>>153092868He's on par with the reddit alien as one of the worst website mascots
>>153092870I guess we just ignore Europe here, huh?
>>153092975Europe is fucking 10x worse, mate.
>>153092870Terrible. And this kind of censorship and speech control is coming from both the left (Demorats) and right (Repukelicans). The 1990s dream of a free internet is dead.
>>1530917904chan is way to valuable, it'll just change management again worst comes to worst.
>>153092870>It will be sterilized and made corporate safe.The thing is, though, those sites never remain popular with the people actively making content on the Internet. People went from Facebook to Youtube, then jumped through a couple more apps and landed on TikTok, and the more they censor Tiktok, the more people will jump ship to less strict platform. Those sterile environments actively kill whatever made the environment financially successful in the first place. Corporate environments are fantastic for like, accounting and whatnot. But they're terrible for creative environments. If you site makes money off of the creativity of its users, making it corporate is the worst fucking thing you can do. China just needs to setup TikTok 2.0 and everyone will flock to it. Obviously you won't be able to criticize the Chinese government, but they'll let you criticize everyone else. Alternatively, Gaben just needs to bribe the Washington state senators to avoid implementing these retarded laws, and they'll reap the benefits bigly in 5-10 years when everywhere else is a locked down shithole.
man, i can't even remember a single update since and including Eclipse that wasn't a downgrade. companies often suck at running things, sure, but the consistency in making it worse is staggering. even post-Musk Twitter had a decent media tab rework, but there is NOTHING positive here. what the fuck is happening behind the scenes, man
>>153093049>The goy are enjoying cartoon girl feet for free, Ibrahim>Shut it down.
>>153091325I was gonna ask what sites there will be for perilSCHOLARS after it goes down, but for all I know everyone's already moved to twitter.
>>153093005>Things cuckchanners tell themselves to feel importantthe 'farms and 'x have more notoriety nowadays than this place on its Hackers on Steroids era, son.
>>153093093no one wants to hang out with gangstalking psychospergs
>>153093093Don't be silly, look who scrapes from who even now.
>>153093075the cliffhangers will hold out somewhere

>>153093154Can you prove drawers don't have feelings.
>>153092500damn, I did not consider that. Wonder where does all the 'tism would migrate to? Newsground or Twitter
Heebviantart enacted the worst rape of a search function I've ever seen in my entire life. You can't find ANYTHING. So many names where I remember what they put out and did, but that doesn't help for shit. Genuinely anguishes my soul to it's very core.
>>153091257Fuck Deviantart. They've been banning fight related fetish artists I like because it's "non-consensual violence", but then give special privileges towards "soft vore" to where the fetish has its own category in the official rules.And now all the autists that still use the site just spam dump AI generated images
>>153092162Newgrounds and Pixiv already took their share of dA oldfags once dA sided with slop. Everyone else has flown the coop to bluesky. We're being corralled.
Of all the threads in all the boards in all the 4chan, this is perhaps the most depressing one. Its depressing, because its true.
>>153093305You think A-Bloo-bloo-skees will allow anything even resembling the NSFW hentai free-for-all on 4chan and other chans if they ever get more than 5% of the creative userbase? Fat chance.
>>153092827Artstation ate DA's lunch and then took a shotgun to it's own foot when it started allowing Ai onto it's site despite it supposing to be the Art website for Professionals and anyone trying to get into the industry
>>153092338Why not ban AIshit?
>>153092568>>153092625>>153092617Existing options are being exhausted but most people on here are fools to think spiritual successors and alternatives wont arrise in their places. Everyone assumed it was joever for dissidents and spicy content creation innthe early half of the 2020's, then Elon bought twitter and Kick came online seperately.Aside from the fact we have a dozen alt-chans (you) all should be visiting, we will likely see 4chan change hands again along with new sites arrise to take the place of dA. If the furfags can keep furaffinity alive we can sure as shit do the same for this autisti cesspool. The ride never ends.
>>153093346What are the good alt-chans worth visiting?
>>153093035/threadAll it takes is one shitzillionaire to recognize the demand and capitalize on it
>>153093340because the site got bought by venture capital jews who are bullish on AI a few years back.
>>153093317agreed
>>153093049>what the fuck is happening behind the scenes, mancontrolled demolition.In all honesty somebody needs to start making meet up apps or something. There has to be another way to interact with others beyond dicksword and tiktok.
>>153093318isnt bluesky already notorious for CSAM posting?
Personally I think 4chan is on borrowed time>enough site traffic to hit around 800k posts per day from June-October 2024>check 4stats now, 537k posts per dayPlace is draining super fast
>>153093346I do agree with this, actually, but I hate that it even needs to be a thing. The phoenix will rise again, but not before burning it's previous form to a crisp/.
>>153091257In the early 2000s, this was a art site. But now, it's a Godless dump with A.I. shit.
>>153093363Neo 8-chan's the most active, all the others rarely get more than a dozen visitors monthly. We need to start building those places up.https://allchans.org/
>>153093404If there's one thing to learn from all this, it's that we're smack dab in the middle of yet another transitionary/upheaval phase both culturally and civilizationally. We're in the 21st century's equivalent of the 1930's, and I dont say as much with reference to just politics. Quite literally everything is changing drastically. Shit wont slow down until 2035 if I had to guess.>>153093405>implying God was ever involved with 4chanIf anything he actively ignores us. His light cannot penetrate this den of scum and villainy.
>>153093395With the rise of age verification, this is going to be the fate of most anonymous websites.Even third world shitholes like Indonesia and Turkey are now passing age verification laws that ban or throttle any site that doesn't implement age verification systems.
>>153092500i thought most faggy artists already jumped ship when deviantart started pushing aislop? i only go there now to download 3D models and all i see is ai crap
>>153091257>Still using deviantart for downloads instead of gallery-dl or SW-DLTNormalfags deserve it
>>153093483Oh, and it's also obviously going to completely gut places like the farms and sharty, for obvious reasons.
>>153093394Probably, though I think that was partially just Twittertards trying to start beef with Bluesky because that's where the lefties went
>>153093598Will anyone migrate to the darknet or baraag or whatever?
>>153093628Maybe.Stuff like the fediverse will definitely have some use in the future, but let's be honest, most of the people you see on anon websites aren't here because they value privacy, but because they want to be able to troll with impunity.They don't care about being anonymous to their government or any state actors that might be harvesting their data, only about being anonymous to other users.It's a very third world mindset that will likely disappear as more of the third world starts implementing age verification and these people just start being mass-blocked from all anonymous spaces since those spaces obviously won't be complying with any age verification laws.
>>153093346>then Elon bought twitter Are you seriously pretending like that was a GOOD thing? So many good artists disappeared altogether because of that imbecile's determination to drive non scammers away.>Kick came online seperatelyNobody gives a flying fuck about Kick, it's a cesspool specifically for people too maladjusted to stay on Twitch.
>>153093587gallery-dl got a DMCA notice recently and is having to take down extensions
>>153091257>limited free downloadsrest is shitty and DA has been on a downward trend ever since the massive site redesign but limiting downloads is always a fucking death knell
>>153092323I've heard from users of that app. They say it's garbage. No surprise there.
>>153091790Who cares about moderation?
>>153093394No, that was never anything more than hearsay by Twitter retards that died down once Elon started making ACTUAL CP a feature of the site.
>>153092486So many artists that shaped my fetishes on DA either dead or just straight up disappeared from the internet.
where do I even go to find niche fetish art if not deviantart
>>153091257Site died the day they forced eclipse on everyone despite an OVERWHELMING amount of requests not to
>>153093638unfortunately i think a lot of anons won't make the jump to alt boardslike from what i saw they got a bump but not nearly as much as you'd thinkit'd be nice especially cause altchan conversation is generally much better as anons don't seem to feel the need to be so inflammatory usually and also almost all altchans have great features like multi image posting, text formatting, less captchas, stuff like thatunfortunately I think a lot of the 4chan traffic will just dissipate from the imageboard spherewould love to be wrong though
>>153093704Unfortunately not all my smut authors have an ao3
>>153093258search youtube for anything related to thomas the choochoo, digitized vhs tapes of pre-k shows from the early 2000s, production sign-offs from 2000s kids shows or clips from animated shows featuring pre-pubescent girlsscroll through the comments for a fraction of a second and you'll find a million "Joseph Greenland The VHS Tape Collector and Barney and Friends fan 2002 [do not make go videos out of me and my friends or we will be forced to call the police]" cows just waiting to be discovered
>>153093714>unfortunately i think a lot of anons won't make the jump to alt boardsI'm honestly fine with that, I've come to realize that I don't actually want a lot of the anons still bumming around here, too many of them are third world retards who come here to post their twatter posts for engagement and annoying angry autists who just want to make other autists as miserable as they are.I don't hate 4chan, but I'd absolutely support a shake-up that removes some of the cancer.The hack got rid of some of it, but there's still a few too many.Not to mention, other chans seem to do a better job of slapping down their mega-autist spammers.
>>153091278fanfiction.net has a weirdly solid app just for browsing and what allsomehow no ads toowhich is funny since the website as a whole is fucking rife with scam bots
I like to use 2ch dvach. A Russian board, yeah, just don't make to many English threads and you're fine.8ch has returned but still needs work.But 4chan? 4Chan is a thing of beauty. Its ugly, its grotesque - but its wonderful, too.
>>153093759People still use FF.net? I thought it was abandoned for ao3 years ago.
>>153093695baraag or pixiv
>>153092699Isn't Pixiv flooded with AI slop too
>>153093724I wonder if there will ever be a kiwifarms alternative for people who like to discuss whimsical tards instead of e-celebs milking their infamy like modern kiwi farms isthe biggest threads on that shithole of a forum are cgl drama, politsperging and a megathread for sam hyde presents big brotherand the only people who seem interested in forming groups to gawk at "classic lolcow" types are assholes who go out of their way to harm themhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-cIpbFNoFA
>>153093789Not nearly to the degree that DA is.I don't want western artists there though, since many of them tend to be annoying retards who don't understand that they will need to deal with art they find objectionable existing on the same platform as them.Last thing that place needs is more annoying retards bitching about some random Japanese artist drawing loli porn.
>>153093792Frankly lolcow farms are the one pillar of the internet I hope dies for good. That shit has been a severe net negative for society as a whole.
>>153093811Still enough to make most Japanese artists migrate to Twitter though
>>153091257This sucks. DA has some damn good images of Marcille Donatos feet and Marge Simpsons ass. The rule 34 sites don't have them yet, so currently they only exist on DA. Aside from porn, I remember back in the day you could find cool stuff like pic related.
>>1530933638 c h a n is the go to stillplus 4 chan has a big /co/ presence, it's been the back up board for here for a long timei've been using smug loli for fanfic discussion.>>153093739Yeah I kinda figured that point would come up lol would be great to be permanently rid of some of these subject schizos.I think other chans stay fine by virtue of being so low pop that dealing with guy is a one and done, meanwhile every board here has a few schizos making tons of posts a day. But even then it feels like moderation here is so fucking bad, I haven't seen red text in maybe 5 years on the boards I go on.>>153093774Yeah, some fandoms are still bigger on ff than Ao3, mostly just inertia from the heyday.I still upload my stories there (I also mainly do Ao3 as everyone should) but recently really considered no longer doing so after I got 3 scam reviews in like 10 minutes. Really fucking bummed me out.
>>153093834at first i understood the fascination of lolcows. back then hearing about people like this was a rare novelty compared to now where theres 6 morbillion "lolcows" everyday and usually they act retarded for monetary gain. i really hope internet culture in general has a rapid change
>>153093340Witch hunts.>BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL.Witch hunts. Doesn't matter.People will accuse for the dumbest shit.
>>153093835Japs have always been on twatter, the actual places that they migrated to to get away from pixiv are pawoo, misskey, and skeb.I think there was another one that was created by dlsite recently, they had to block signups because shartyfags went there and spammed child porn.
>>153091632>I guess you have Ao3, but that's a different flavor of crazy fetish writing than DeviantartIn what sense? I'm sure you can find a specific tag for your fetish.
I do not think the death of our beloved 4Chan is going to be some dramatic, glorious burning effigy to the sins of shortsighted fools. It'll grow quieter. Its breath rasping and wheezing. Slowing down. Crawling into bed. Clutching its blanket as it looks back at every message every posted. Every dub, trip, quad, beyond. Every meme'd reply, every piece of gore, every piece of porn, genuine artistic expression, musical piece, every silly ad and every April Fool's joke.It will take its last breath, and the internet will grow a little quieter that day, and I will look out my window and see the world with a hint of less color.
>>1530939744chan is already dead and has been since 2009. We're living in it's corpse right now. Don't be sad once it's finally finished rotting away. Nothing lasts forever.
>>153091257It gets better, even if you pay you only get 150 free downloads. They've been asking for that for a long time now. Either way, there's little new stuff worth downloading in that sea of slop.
>>153093989No king rules forever.
>>153091632what's the most specific fetish you ever seen on da?
>>153093974>reddit, Tumblr, and even 9gag will out live 4chan
>>153093907>>153094010All the weight gain authors of note default to Deviantart. Anything else is secondary.
>>153094026I see.Only darkness.For.We.
>>153093868so lolcows are actually evil geniuses stealing tom green's bit?
>>153093649Elon Musk is the defender of free speech and that's a good thing, libcuck.
>>153094053i would say tom green actually channeled his autism in a way that was interesting to watch, modern lolcows do the bare minimum since they know the tards that obsess over them will eat it up
>>153094074I cant think of too many modern lolcows who are actually autistic/weird. they just play up their stupidity and get into clout fights with everyoneit all went downhill when the gothic king cobra became a livestream celebrity raking in 10,000 dollars a night
>>153091257Are they finally shutting down the site. Thank fuck. Hitler is dead.
>>153091257apology for poor englishwhen were you when devintant dies?i was sat at home jack to child scrable fetish pic when fred ring'devinant is die''no'and you?????????????
>Elon Musk is the defender of free speech and that's a good thing, libcuck.
>>153094074>>153094106As far as I am concerned, there are only like a dozen lolcows, and even some of them sort of exist on the fringe. You have to have a legacy of years or even decades of being a sperg, but sometimes, the people who stalk lolcows are genuinely as bad as if not worse than the cows themselves.
>>153091723It is incredible, truly. Writing.com levels of self-sabotage.
>>153094228Nope, as long as it still makes a few cents for its jewish overlords dA will never truly die.
>>153093868i think this is a big part of the problemthere are a lot of people out there on the spectrum and weird enough but still there enough to try and attentionwhore and shitwe have quite a few on /co/ and it sucksthe most interesting weirdos are the ones quietly doing there thing or at least not trying to game the system so to speak
>>153094071Go down a K-hole Elon
>>153092338Then they should rate limit to 10 uploads a week, which would be a non-retarded solution
I stopped using it years ago, when it became completely flooded with AI slop. An art site should try to filter that sort of thing. Even fucking e621 understands that.
>>153093789Yes but Pixiv at least lets you filter out any AI generated art.
>>153094071Him buying Twitter was the last nail in the coffin of the free internet.
>>153091257Those faggots really focused on making sure no one can ever use any trick to look at NSFW art but make the site completely unfunctional and with slop everywhere
>>153091257DA in the 2000s was a wild time.
>>153092338So fucking ban it?
>>153093974Anon, you missed the shutdown last year where even mainstream media threw a party for 4chan's demise. Then it came back a few weeks later.
>>1530954962010s was the real dark age, probably the apocalypse.2020s is the final ride of the hell.
>>153091257Nothing chases the bitter taste of a bad decision like another one. At least for addicts.>>153091311DA was among the first to not only say NO DRAWINGS OF 17 YEARS AND 364 DAYS, but also 'saying this is them older doesn't count'like wayyy before it was cool or being pushed by any payment processors.
>>153091865Third worlders flooding every space they can with AI slop has basically killed everything. We would be better off disconnecting South America, South and Southeast Asia and the like from the rest of the global internet.
>>153095542The 2030s will be a new leaf.
>>153091632asstr is back up and uploading actually works.>>153092486RIP to a real one. I don't know his work, but just looking at it, I'm taken back to those days.>>153091706yep. Very much like webcomic hosts, there's no more just normal fucking places to post your creations. Because 'users sharing theirs/others' stuff' is something they've been trying to kill ever since phone ringtones were a lot of money and everyone on a PC was downloading whole albums, and now it's actually a legal liability if someone's offended by what you're hosting.
>>153091723over 14 years by my count.before that, it had a few years of alternating quality and shittification.>>153092359you're on the wrong site, nancy boy.
>>153091790I'm surprised it took this long.it's okay, everything is ruined. the end will come very soon.
>>153095605russia, china, africa (the nigeria area (try sayin that rapidly), and india would suffice.
>>153091790>Both of our janitorsthere.. were two? there used to be like 10 mods and dozens of janitors.wtf are they doing every time they accept janitor applications? I put one in every single time.
>>153095542
>>153093792There's the OnionFarm but they're mostly for bitching and complaining about how much they hate Kiwifarms, it's users but mostly Null>>153094074I'm pretty sure Darksydephil is fully aware so he purposefully acts like a bitter clueless moron and his stalkers eat it up
>Visit deviantart for the first time in a decade>Its all accounts uploading 400 AI fetish porn pictures an hour, all run by indians running 200 accounts each that sell "adoptables" and subscriptions for their AI sloppa>Site now owned by Israeli companyah, i see.
>>153093299Wtf I didn't know they banned porn, I've drawn scat, guro, cannibalism and femboy boners. I even posted some weird pervy shit yesterday
>>153095668>sparing LATAM and SEAReady for this passport bro shield to crumble already.
>>153096105show it
>>153093305I wish they'd fucking leave Pixiv. I hate searching for something and it's inevitably filled with westerners and a least 2/3 of that art is also furry shit.
>>153092246They started requiring to log in to see 18+ content. Just like DeviantArt few years ago.
>>153091257I barely go to DeviantArt anymore, so that damn website can dead drop for all I care. Plus, there's other websites to post and browse artwork, which makes DA more useless and irrelevant than it already was.
>>153095496>>153095542It is painful and hard to believe that in a short time, or less than 11 years since its beginnings, it is declining rapidly.>>153096739I don't deny that those sites have the capacity to support what DA has highlighted...but those will remain outside of issues that DA is carrying?
>>153094071>Elon Musk is the defender of free speechHow is censoring ant-jewish and anti-israeli speech and complying with censorship rules of various countries defending free speech?
>>153093395Making it harder to post with more and more range bans, timers and not-yet-mandatory e-mail verification isn't helping.
>>153091395How about crop image?
>>153095679he means /m/ janitors
>>153093363/leftypol/
>>153091790I believe it. One thing I will always be curious about is why the moderation is so adamant on being as opaque with us as possible. Like keep /j/ hidden but would it be so back to talk to us every once a while like in the past?
>>153091257I didn't really keep up with DA, did someone buy it or something?
>>153096044How many times has the site been sold? Wasn't it a winamp skin community to start with
>da allowed ai art>everyone posts adoptables>it's just popular characters with no or minor tweaksdo people buy these?if so, for what purpose?
>>153097033Allowing ai art was one thing creating your own model off all your users then shoving it down everyone's throats was another
>>153093661To me it adequately represents the site but as a result it's not very useful to me. The experience is so similar to just using the site normally on my phone that I forget it exists.
>>153091257Them getting rid of pages in favor of eternal scrolling made it unusable. Remember favoriting a lot of good stuff there too, but the download limit makes saving what's left a pain too.
>>153096034>I'm pretty sure Darksydephil is fully aware so he purposefully acts like a bitter clueless moron and his stalkers eat it upWhile I'm sure that DarkSydePhil is actually pretty bad at cames, and actually acts like a tool in private, he also figured out at some point that people think of that as his "shtick" and plays it up for the camera.>>153093792KiwiFarms hasn't been a site seriously interested in internet drama and the people involved in it for a long time. Null is just another stooge with a political agenda and has treated KF as his personal soapbox for a long time. It's a community for rightist goons and has been deliberately cultivated to be that. So's this one, to some extent, for the record.
>>153092246I use pixiv.
>>153093093>the 'farmsNobody can subscribe unless you have an invitation by one of them or some bullshit. Also this >>153093126
>>153091325Majority of DA bondage artists migrated to Pixiv and Twitter years ago.
>>153093299VoreGODS won (really though this is retarded)
>>153097050funny enough i don't think anyone actually uses dA's model, the ai stuff i see on the site are usually done with stable diffusion, chatgpt or gemini, i remember seeing some imagefx stuff for a while too
>>153093299You think these companies would understand banning porn kinda kills your site.
Funny thinking that furry sites have much more integrity than DAI think Inkbunny is trying to break out of the furry subgenre at leastThen again these days tons of artists just post previews on twitter and beg people to use their patreons for full access. And they make porn of popular characters, which I don't really agree with since I think if you're going to charge for it make your own damn OCs, fan works should be free.
>>153097812Whoa, whoa, that's sounding like dangerous AI-loving rhetoric here bucko.PAY ARTISTS.
>>153091257>Free downloads limited to 10 per week>Rationing image views as if it were 1995Haven't visited that site in years, but that's an amazing development. Are they not even making enough for hosting? Why wouldn't they ratelimit uploads rather than downloads? Or implement a file size limit?>>153092702>Twitter's already a dead site mostly populated by bots.My experience has been the complete opposite, but this may depend on the type of content you're looking for. Only a certain subset of artists self-exiled. Frankly, my feed has never been better or more active. There is way more interaction between international posters ever since they started auto-translating posts. My feed is now dominated by CJK artists. There's too much good stuff, too many artists to follow, and it's drowning out the bullshit, thank god. Whatever they've done with their algorithms, I approve.Honestly, I don't see anything else coming close. Bluesky is full of negativity and politics that one cannot escape from. Instagram is annoying to browse. Pixiv is like a time capsule where it's hard to discover new artists. Cara is interesting, but it's more geared towards professional networking, like Artstation. It's good but not quite the same function.
>>153091632There is always its estranged brother Furaffinity.
>>153097899>Whatever they've done with their algorithms, I approve.I’ve seen a lot memes between USA and Japan interactions recently, but the cynic in me thinks that the algorithm not being retarded for a change is just accidental
>>153097551You haven't been dealing with deviantART have you, they locked you out of your account and it's so badly integrated you can't even log in through Google. I lost my account that way for some reason some error it wouldn't give it back to me cuz I don't remember the birthday I made up when I was 8 years old when I first made the account. Same email address, funny enough I got locked out right as they did that big AI update. When the site went down and they used everyone's art to train their model. Then you got the bot situation that is so ridiculous you upload something boom you get a random message about how you either won the lottery or they're famous art company wine to buy your work. The search features broken, upload is a nightmare it's slow and broken and the tag system doesn't work. Then you got the AI slop which they just let a few counts that are clearly bought just spew stuff out 24 hours a day. Art station is bad but not as bad as them, ink bunny I don't even want to deal with that place it's not badly run just kind of really off users, fa is consistently bad hacked but consistently bad, that's where I upload. The few other places but most of those places get the social media crap, Twitter and never felt that it worked well. I uploaded there got some traction but it's just all political drama now. The days of the wild West internet where everyone was just having fun have long since passed is now just a bunch of floating rotting giant corporate corpses that don't care about individual creation. Even fanfiction websites have died off as they become so corporatized, AI just allow people to make more stuff and spam so now pretty much everything's dead even rule 34 I used to go there I can't even find anything you get these people who just Spam what 20,000 images of some anime character and it kills every single thing you try to look up same thing with most of the hentai places ironically you can get more from piracy
>>153097812>and beg people to use their patreons for full access.Porn artists do the exact opposite where they advertise their Patreon as the tip jar while in Patreon they claim the Patreon is only for the occasional vanilla art they make. Its a loophole for the Patreons no-porn rules.
You know the AI thing is so annoying because I used to read a lot of books from self-published people just used to upload now it's all AI, and the problems you don't know the quality you can't even tell it's just spammy overwhelming crap. The ironic thing is if you give everyone the ability to create something they create the most basic uncreative crap, the worst of the worst I've been reincarnated as a slime kind of generic you've seen this before and better done crap. Truth is most people don't have a creative bone in their body and their massive ideas are usually Star wars / Lord of the rings / some popular anime..
>>153091257Huh? You cant sell without CORE so I don't understand this since even artists with CORE subscription just talk in DMs and do paypal payments.
>>153098059Why would anyone go to Bluesky anyway, its just a different flavor of politics but deader.
>>153092246>Still prints money
>>153096881Range bans are due to autists who aren't monitored properly.
>>153098082>algorithm not being retarded for a change is just accidentalIt may or may not be. But I think Twitter/X understands the context of the images, such that it would show me more fan art from the same show, or drawn in the same style, without the aid of tags and even from accounts that are new and have few followers. If this is AI, it's not a terrible use of it.Just an aside. Anyone who posts their own art on Twitter should try letting Grok explain their image, which it does in the measured voice of a non-judgemental museum curator. The more deviant your art is, the funnier it is.
>>153098199Unlike twitter, Bluesky doesn't demand to install their app to verify your ID and check your age to look at lewds.
>>153098420Yeah Elon musk is determined to destroy Twitter, on everything he's just made it 10 times worse it was getting better there for a bit and then all of a sudden it's like total crap now I can't even search for basic things like current events without seeing a bunch of old stuff or just random political crap. And don't even get me started on the spam
>>153091257>10 downloads per WEEKcompletely gigadeadholy fuck, imagine finding an artist you like that only has a deviantart, you'd have to wait a goddamned year to download their whole gallery (lets be real, they would just use the screenshot function)
>>153098420Oh, don't worry, Bluesky will require that soon too.
>>153098420*yet
>>153098420You still need to log in and have a BlueSky account to view lewds. It's only a matter of time before they add ID age verification.
>>153098481needing to log in and pinky promise you're 18 to view porn has been SOP for all of these sites for a long time
>>153098481A lot of people make you log in nowadays to see anything, but no one really cares about blue sky so I think they're going to be okay for a while sort of like this place until someone start us actually knowing it exists. I'm waiting for them to do a Google login on this place
>>153098481>You still need to log in and have a BlueSky account to view lewdsThat has alwasy been the case with twitter too, even before Musk. And it was always the case with DA and FA as well. And all you need for that is an email account that can just as well be anonymous.This isn't an indication of anything.
>>153098420Just replace x.com with xcancel.com to see it
>>153091257They started fucking up when they started allowing galleries filled with AI, then again when they started charging for downloads. What web gallery site does that?
>>153098300>Anyone who posts their own art on Twitter should try letting Grok explain their image, which it does in the measured voice of a non-judgemental museum curator.Pretty sure that give the authorisation to the LLM to train on your image.
>>153098199It's a good 40% less miserableThat's worth something
>>153094071>Elon Musk is the defender of free speech.You believe that bullshit? Nice try, white trash.
>>153095607Let's hope so...
>>153098500>And it was always the case with DANo, it wasn't. I remember browsing DeviantArt 10 years ago without an account, and to view erotic art you only needed to click that you are 18+. You didn't need any account.
>>153098523>Pretty sure that give the authorisation to the LLM to train on your image.You gave it authorization the moment you uploaded the image. Don't care. If you have any following at all, then hundreds of people have probably already done it to your image.
>>153093446I was talking about DeviantArt, dumbass.
>>153098420Age verification is the worst thing to ever happen and it actually doesn't stop anything.>JUST DOX YOURSELF BRO!
>>153096865Who has Musk deplatformed?Before, I was getting political posts shoved into my timeline for seemingly no reason. Now I don't get any political posts at all, because I don't follow political accounts. I don't think "X" deboosted anyone. Certain people just got used to being boosted all the time on old Twitter.Victimizers crying about about being victimized in their heads is of no concern to me.
>>153097812>And they make porn of popular charactersAnd it's always the same handful of popular and flavors of the month, no passion or the artist's obsession with the property they're making art of, just >heres a pin up of the main girl/s from the new anime. Subscribe and see her take generic faceless white/black dickThat being said when you find someone who DOES enjoy the original series it's an obvious quality jump
>>153098644>Before, I was getting political posts shoved into my timeline for seemingly no reason.Ah, so what you actually want IS censorship. Quite the opposite of your initial claim, there.
I can't believe it took me until the rise of AI to see the downward spiral of society that we humans are so prone to getting sucked up in.Just because rich people at the top want to turn more earth resources into dollars.
>>153098704You have to remember they were trying to make a ecosystem with AI it wasn't just hey look at this you can upload AI can make some stuff it was you make the AI you sell it on a platform we get a commission you have to pay for a subscription. It made absolutely no sense it was Boomer logic computer turn on therefore magic kind of thinking. They were trying to create a social platform where you sell AI art to each other and that was about it it had no logic behind it. But that tells you the mentality of the people running deviantART everyone who actually gave a damn has long sense left it's run by some sort of shell scammer company
>>153098716That's not censorship. Censorship is you not being allowed to speak on the platform. My timeline is simply curated based on what I want to see, which Twitter is doing nicely now.You are entitled to speak. You are not entitled to an audience. You are also not entitled to being unchallenged, which is what you're actually crying about.
