Today I found out that Devianart has put 10 maximum downloads per WEEK for free accounts. The Enshittification continues…
Old screenshot. They used to have basic security features like 2FA behind a paywall. That’s just stupid. But at least they recently changed it, allowing free users to secure their accounts.

They could put a captcha after 10 downloads… No, this was a deliberate bad decision. Maybe even worse than their change of their old classic site to the new shitty one.
