Goodbye DeviantArt (Patreon)
Content
I woke up today to see this screen on my almost-2-years-old profile on DeviantArt, which was my home and my main platform to grow my audience ever since I started writing giantess stories, with over 6,200 watchers at its peak.
Indefinitely suspended, with no real means to dispute, although I’m still doing everything I can to reverse the decision and sending them messages any way I can. Still, I’m not optimistic about that.
What it means?
Hundreds of stories I wrote, collages I made, are now lost forever in that cursed platform’s abyss.
An unparalleled hit to my growth, it’s now going to be very hard reaching new audiences and also maintain my current community, I already see the impact in the number of views on Today’s Story (which ironically is called “Bad Luck”)
Not going to lie, without giantess-interactive this blow would have made me just give up and stop creating content. No doubt about it - making my own website to host my content was the best decision I made, sad I haven’t done it from the start. If there’s anything I learned from this journey is that platforms can’t be trusted, and all the followers and audience you accumulate in a platform is just borrowed, it’s the platform’s - not yours.
Luckily, there are 8k site members on Giantess-Interactive, I’m going to focus on that moving forward.
What’s next?
- First, I’m going to reupload some lost stories to my website under a new category called “Legacy Stories”.
- Trying to start anew, it’s never going to be like what I had on DeviantArt, but I’m going to be more active on my Twitter Account @GBTiny222 - please follow me there 🙏
- I’m going to edit my website to remove any reference for DeviantArt and change it with Twitter (or X, whatever you wanna call it).
I’m sure this blow will have a lasting impact, and honestly, it sucks, but the stream of content continues as usual on my website, and no one can stop it (unless I’ll get squished by a giantess).
