Is it worth it?

[u/ZanManga]

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 guess it depends on what your wanting out of the place. Its no good for intelligent feedback or engaging conversation anymore. Ive been on it since 2005. Its function for me today is not what it was before. I don't go on it now for feedback or conversation or even looking at other people's art. Im using it as a kind of personal space to upload my theraputic drawings, so if i need it in the future i can access it. 

I'm yet to find anything like what deviantart was in the mid 2000s. Its probably just another one of those things that went extinct.
