Deviantart Eclipse

Since Deviantart is cartoons right?
Anyway, basically Deviantart forced it's really poorly made, unfinished "modern" redesign onto all users, and they aren't having it.
People are not only complaining about it and leaving the site because of how unusable it is but are literally paying large amounts of money to share a petition against it.
Thoughts?

THANK GOD I'm not the only one who hated the new style, it was so shitty I literally stopped using the site a month after it, and I used deviantart for over 7 fucking years every single damn week.

why is it that ui redesigns are almost always for the worse

You know there's a switch to turn eclipse off right?

I stopped using dA long before the layout change. You can't build a decent fanbase on that site anymore. It's only really useful for people who have already been there a decade and had a million followers before Tumblr/Twitter/Instagram took over as the dominant art-sharing platform.

Websites, UI Redesigns and Logos are now made for phones, sorry grandpa.
The search function is horrible.

DA staff are unbelievably fucking retarded if they sincerely think forcing it onto everybody is a good decision. eclipse has been getting so much poor feedback for months but they've barely listened, it's horribly optimised, not at all user-friendly, and is a straight rip-off of artstation but worse in every single way
i only really use DA as an archive for my art, so eclipse basically renders the entire site useless to me since folders are presented like shit and are hell to navigate in eclipse. glad most of the user base is being loud about their displeasure for it, but i doubt they'll change their minds
user they're forcing it onto everyone soon, learn to read

I go to Eclipse on my phone and it's still ads. In fact I have used my laptop in more than a year and always use the old sits on my phone. DA should be taken out back and shot for this stupid shit.

Why do you guys hate Eclipse?

>Those websites also suck.
I didn't say they were good platforms, just that it's where you go to build a fanbase. It's much easier as a no-name artist to gain a lot of followers on those sites than it is on dA.

The interface is shit and because of it they're deleting sta.sh writer.

>There are NO good art websites.
What's wrong with Newgrounds, HF and Pixiv?

BASED NEWGROUNDS CAN'T STOP WINNING

why does it not show all of your notifications?

it's literally a bootlegg of artstation and renders multiple of DA's features completely useless

Does Newgrounds have a place to save writing drafts?

>Also they're going to pull a Tumblr which is to remove all sexual and mature content.

really? i've seen a lot of blatant porn crop up on deviantart these last few years, always figured they just relaxed their restrictions

or maybe i just got better at finding what i wanted

>since folders are presented like shit
OH NO NOW THEY'RE HORIZONTAL INSTEAD OF VERTICAL!!! THE HORROR!!!

>app doesnt let you infinitely scroll "more like this" anymore

That's going away in May, I'm afraid.

dA's been cucked for more than a decade now, and this is the tipping point I feel for everyone who's bothered to stay as long as they have.

Simple, it's a fucking trainwreck and their programmers can't seem to get all the features to work. Not to mention it looks like a fucking eyesore unless you get the version with the classic green background. And that's only available to people who've been using the classic look all this time during the transition.

And let's not forget their half-hearted attempt to appeal to more "Mainstream" crowds despite the fac that:

a) the word deviant is in their name
and b) they've got almost two decades of smut, fetish art and general autism that they'd be better off killing the whole thing and making a new site altogether than just putting a band-aid over it and calling it a day.

And the sad thing is, dA won't listen and I fully expect the there to either be a massive backlash over it once it drops, or a mass exodus. Hell, if it was a new site, I doubt we'd be having this much hate aimed toward Eclipse.

Are they seeing an increase in traffic or capitalizing on this?

When will Artrise be ready?

But new UI is a trainwreck for phones too dumbass, barely loads.

>Are they capitalizing on this?
They haven't changed their site design since 2012. You know the answer

Pixiv is for gooks, HF is run by a literal circlejerk, NG is alright

Why's it such a pain to get the original resolution?

i don't think there's an estimation for when artrise will be open yet. i really don't want it to fall through because it looks like they're actually fucking listening to what artists do want from these websites, but at the same time their staff have been worrying me. it looks like it could potentially end up being another tumblr/twitter if it even gets off the ground

They are going to force mass censorship on it next like tumblr because liberals want to remove and depiction of fictional attractive female characters from the web

>thinking nu-devs know how to design for either

who doesn`t like a much slower site where you can`t easily see all of your subscript accounts and sometimes can`t even logout for some reason?

Anyone know if there’s a way to access storage from Eclipse?

But the old Deviant Art UI looked like ass. The new one is admittedly shit too, but less shit than the old one.

>have pretty much abandoned my old dA account but still keep it around to check new deviations from the people I watch
>try to enter yesterday like usual
>have absolutely no idea how to check new deviations in eclipse, all I can see is the favs/comments of my own old stuff
Am I just blind? How can I check new deviations in the new system? It's the one thing I use dA for and I feel retarded for not knowing what to do

>hit recommend tab
>endless array of poorly drawn vore, inflation and fat fetish art
>and some autistic guy’s diagrams of Star Trek ships

These aren’t even my fetishes or my autism fascinations.

Out of curiosity, why would it need to? wouldn't you just have it saved on your computer? Or am I the moron here?
