>>> What's up with the sudden hatred for deviantart?

All I'm seeing now is people complaining about how this site has somehow become a terrible place to be, and how everyone's either boycotting their dA art, or moving to other sites such as tumblr and weas...uh whatever that site is.

I mean, seriously guys? Just because a few people lose faith in this site, saying that the admins and policies are bad or something, that suddenly makes you want to hate this site too? You know it just kinda seems sad to me how easily you can lose faith in this site, even those who have put so much love and effort into everything they've done here. I can understand those who make somewhat of a career or living off this site with their art wanting to leave about bad policies, but the vast majority of you, honesty I don't think you're justified in complaining.

Look people, art thieves, or tracing or what have you happens everywhere. It's not something only seen on this site. It just appears that way since this is mainly an art site. And even when something like that does happen, so what? It's not the worst thing that could possibly happen to you. Heck if you want to look at it in a positive way, it just means that people like your art enough to want to copy it. 

I really don't want to sound like what I'm saying is the truth, it's not, it's mostly just my opinions. My main point is that, go ahead and leave if you want, but just remember, there's more to dA than just making art for money and recognition. It's a place where people with the same interests can intertwine and meet new friends, where people can have fun joining groups, and where you can grow and develop as an artist and person, getting support from amazing people that you might not otherwise receive in your personal lives.
