It’s DeviantArt’s 25th anniversary & birthday! Exactly 25 years since it was first launched on the internet on August 7th 2000 and now a quarter of a century later, it’s still growing strong, somewhat. DeviantArt is a mixed bag for me and for so many others since it used to be one of if not the biggest art sharing platforms ever until problems arose; DeviantArt would be bought by a new company with controversial political views & ideas; Wix, fans and artists would leave the site due to the ensuing changes, problematic & small yet controversial artists, artwork and content would be the norm here (e.g. rants, f***shes hate art, horrific people and many more), users would be framed, punished & have their accounts deleted, DA would allow AI and their users to create art here which really pissed tons of people off especially actual artists and the problems would increase as the years go on, but Deviantart now has a conflicting reputation where artists old and new would stay strong on the site and others would leave the site, immediately on the spot & while it’s complicated, DeviantArt’s golden years can’t be forgotten since like I said it used to be one of the top artist & art sites for artists to share their work, make friends join communities & see what others have to offer. & while that I and many do not support their actions & the things they’re currently doing, I remain wondering about Deviantart’s future in all honesty.
Overall, enjoy your 25th anniversary DeviantArt.
