So, hey, DeviantArt? I get it, okay. You want me to subscribe. But your abusive behavior about trying to get me to subscribe is really, really getting under my skin. I visit DeviantArt about once per day to go through all the new deviations I can look at, and in the last two weeks, several changes have been made to the "check your deviations/messages" page.

The number of deviations-per-page has been dramatically reduced. A new advertising sidebar has been added, showing me deviantart shirts I should buy. And at least every other day (sometimes every day) I come here to find a new message, written in bright bold red letters above all of my other deviantart messages at the top of the screen, demanding I subscribe because like it's so cool and everybody's doing it, man. On top of that, I am also getting what are basically pop-up advertisements now that are trying to guilt-trip me in to buying a subscription for this site.

It's like, dude. Step off. It's not 2001 anymore. Annoying me to death isn't going to get me to pay for a subscription. We're barely a hair's breadth away from the level of desperation you get from some place like FilePlanet when they ask you to subscribe to their service.

Badgering people in to subscribing just so they can get rid of your stupid "HEY, IF YOU LIKE THIS SITE SO MUCH, PAY US MONEY FOR IT BECAUSE THIS HAMPSTER IS TIRED" pop-ups is ridiculous. It's starting to feel like every time I turn around there's something else taking up page space begging me to subscribe.

Knock it off.
