For the majority of DeviantArt’s history, the site has been supported by ads, which enabled DeviantArt to keep the site free to use. Nearly all major social platforms are supported by ads, and DeviantArt was no different until 2019, when the bold decision was made to remove ads while keeping the site free to use. After three years, a limited number of ads will be returning to DeviantArt to ensure DeviantArt can continue to allow people to discover, share, and promote art for free. Ads have already been implemented for logged-out visitors, and over the coming months, you may start to see ads in various locations while logged in. Just like before, third-party banner ads will not appear for Core Members. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to the DeviantArt community.
