DeviantArt has rotted away



For many years, I've enjoyed ducking into the DeviantArt website for a look around now and then. There was always some freaky shit going on there, as people let their artistic freak fly, and I saw some genuinely beautiful artwork, and a lot of desperate attempts to create a personal vision.

But the last few times I've been there, it's just full of horrible, soulless AI-generated art, with dead-eyed versions of Harry Potter characters and vast amounts of pastel anime nightmares. I don't know if the people who used to put their blood, sweat and tears into their artwork are still there, but they've been swamped in an ocean of sludge, and I don't think I'll be checking in on that website anymore.
