Exactly, I consider my account to be a time capsule here. I stopped uploading when their stupid new site layout rolled out. It doesn't feel like home anymore. It is an alien place that caters to mobile users/consumers and endless scrolling instead of actual artists who want a stable gallery to showcase their artwork. But it was my home for a long, long time. I had many beautiful memories here and made many friends. Much of my artwork, comments, and interactions reflect that. I like coming back and seeing those memories.
But now this... I am debating spending 50 years going through my entire gallery and opting-out of every single piece, or just deleting my account entirely - which, as stated before, I'd prefer not to do since I like looking back on my gallery! What an absolutely horrible decision Deviantart has made.
I'm so sorry for my late reply and I'm so glad you like my art! My IG is @@Deerypoof and my Twitter is @Shaddiewolf you want to follow me there :)
