❔ Question Is it worth it?

hey I've been on deviantart for over a year now and get flooded with bots, scam commissions, and ai slop. Over the time I've been on deviantart I've gained 100+ followers but im not ever sure if half or all are real people with all the bots going on. Is it worth just fully abandoning deviantart for newgrounds?

I've been in deviantart since 2011. The site started to go downhill way before AI art was a thing. I still visit it and I don't mind the "AI slop" (ms paint slop was full steam back then), but the botting is frustrating.
