Wix are true experts at terrible UX ;)

DeviantArt was the first place where I shared photography, a very, very long time ago. My account still works, funnily enough. It was a great place that reminds me of the MySpace / wild west days of the earlier internet.

Good memories.

Good memories indeed.

Which user were you? I've had an account the last 20 years, so...

They never close accounts unless the user directly chooses to delete it, or they get perma-banned.

the product managers botched it, it's a shame it could have been so much better than this.

The PMs were beholden to execs. At one point I interviewed for a PM role there, and realized they couldn't afford me to suffer that level of chaos.

DA leadership was either bunkered in R&D projects, or glibly shifting gears every other week. It was mostly torpor-inducing, but occasionally totally exasperating. I imagine it was infinitely worse for the paid staff.
