That's it, DeviantArt. Fuck you, fuck your twisted copywrite policies, fuck your misplaced priorities. You used to be a wonderful website, and I loved you. But you grew exponentially, and for each shit that you gave to corporate endevours, you gave one shit less about everything else.

Right under "Deviant for 5 years", it says, "Needs Premium Membership". Did I read that right? Needs? Needs? NEEDS? I'll tell you about my NEEDS, you corporate scumbags who now run this joint. I need
