I have been on deviantART for over 11 years. It used to be a great place to put works and express myself. The downfall of the site though sadly was long before the crappy Eclipse version was forced on us. The algorithm changed drastically to favor those who did things that I don't know if they could even be considered art. People stopped talking to each other, people stopped supporting each other, and the site owners seemed to have not cared. They will only seem to respond to people through their Twitter and keep making silly excuses as to why they have forced the new platform on us. They claim not enough people can handle two forms of the site when it can be fixed simply by hiring more people or running the version the community that remains prefers, which the higher vote still seems to be for the old platform that is easier to use. If they wanted a dark mode they could have implemented it into the old site not force it on a new one that takes longer to do anything, glitches out, is clunky, and just downright terrible.I wanted to try and use this site again but now that it has gotten worse and has a platform impossible to use forced on it's users I will be on less and less until I can finally sadly let it go. I will not deactivate my account so that maybe someday when this site is fixed, if it gets fixed, I can look back at my past progress and see how far I've come.
