Same here. I had an account since 2004 and deleted everything a couple years ago.
The only use case I had for dA after that was searching for art tutorials but it seems within the last year or so they’ve nerfed their search function in a huge way so I don’t even visit the site anymore, I’ll just DDG some keywords and add site:deviantart.com, it seems to work a lot better at finding what I’m looking for.
I had a nearly 20 years old gallery on DA, deleted it when they announced the dream up ai bullshit.
Sometimes hurts to think about, but then some new bs from them pops up that reminds me I did the right thing.
