I don't know what the hell's been going on with you lately, but we've had an on-again, off-again relationship for as long as I've known digital art. Thanks to you, I've met some of my best friends here and made a lot of memories; and due to the dedication to the craft I've met a lot of wonderful people who have helped me along with my style. Now, you're a shallow husk of what you used to be. I know it sounds hypocritical, but you started going downhill when adoptables became the most prominent feature in your galleries, and made even worse by the growing number of fetish artists. Then to top it all off, you added AI art to your platform, which combined with the other two points just made DeviantArt a breeding ground for manufactured "characters" if you can even fucking call them that; with no personality, no story to tell... No life. I came to DeviantArt for the stories and the characters. Yes, I follow some artists who do a lot of NSFW stuff, but they still have some of their personality. I'm losing all faith in DeviantArt becoming a legitimate platform for art, and that may be part of the reason why I'm losing faith in myself as an artist. I hope your fucking happy.
