Deviantart wants you to pay to download art / Possibly The End And Death Of Deviantart

[Laluzerne69]

Well people, once again, I must be the bearer of bad news. The numbskulls and idiots who own, run, and ruined deviantart now want you to pay for a monthly subscription, just to be able to download more than 10 pictures per week off of their shit site. Yes people, the thing that used to be for free and without any limits, they now want you to pay money for. Basically, they done fucked up this time. If they don't undo this shit soon, this just might completely kill off their site. Obviously with this absolutely dumb and moronic decision, this is going to make even more people leave the site than before in massive waves and make a mass exodus toward other art sites such as Furaffinity, Newgrounds, and Pixiv. Well now that Deviantart is dying, hopefully someone will finally create a Deviantart archive site that will allow people to find and restore deleted art and other deleted content and archive all of the art and other stuff that did and didn't get deleted and allow everyone to download everything that they want for free with no limits.

Deviantart is owned by Wix, which is an Israeli SaaS company that's in its death throes. I wouldn't expect them to walk back monetization-related changes like this. They're obviously quite desperate to make such a ridiculous change.
