While the artistic quality is better than the infamous DeviantArt algorithm, the 2FA login is aggravating for casual and active users alike. It cannot be turned off or removed. While users can be blocked, tags cannot? There are certain things I’m not interested in or just dislike.

Newgrounds is okay at best. I joined NG in hopes of finding a DA alternative. All was not what I expected; it’s nearly impossible for new users to have their work seen unless the work is Friday Night Funkin fanart or their art fits the community’s standards. The star rating system also leaves an open door for abuse and turns art into a competition for popularity instead of personal passion. Relatively speaking, while it’s certainly advisable to take critiques, people’s opinion on one’s work (I.e star ratings) does not ultimately merit their talent because art in itself is a subjective topic There’s good art, games and movies I can watch for pastime but they aren’t enough to save the site in my opinion
