My entire gallery disappeared from DeviantArt last Tuesday

Modern platforms erase controversial creativity without warning.

Remember that artist who did those weird clay sculptures? Their whole Tumblr got wiped last year, no email, nothing. It wasn't even that bad, just kinda creepy cute. Miles948 has a point about bugs, but when it's gone for good it feels targeted. My friend lost years of work and the platform just sent an auto reply about terms of service. They never really tell you why, they just delete it and move on. Makes you not want to post anything good anywhere anymore.

Galleries can vanish from bugs, not just controversial content.

Ugh, maybe they're scrubbing old content before a site sale or merger.
