IMPORTANTWhat DeviantART is doing with the Core Membership is honestly disgusting. At first I thought it was just a name change, but this is what they've done.
>They've made memberships more expensive
>They've removed some features from the PMs, making them less enjoyable
>Added 'new' features, that aren't actually features
>In a nutshell, they removed more stuff from the PMs, and made them move expensive.
On top of that, they also don't view art theft as a problem anymore. They claim "since it's not physical, it's not theft".

They used to have report buttons to report stolen art, but they've all been removed. But in this past year, this website has been becoming an art theft website itself.
