I'm getting quite tired of DeviantART trying to drill it into users to get a subscription. Every time they announce a new feature, atleast 50% of the functionality and enhancements are locked away for the subscribers. I don't know where this kind of business mentality is going to take them, atleast in this time of all round innovation inspired by the internet heavyweights (read the googles and yahoo's). But its their business model and fair enough, they must be making tonnes of $$ anyways! But what gets to me is that they dont leave any extent in letting us be reminded that we need to get a subscription. The words "No Subscription" and "Not Subscribed" and "Subscribe" are plastered all over the site and ofcourse in all of its functional and non-functional features and functions. Can Deviantart not bring some finesse into its marketing, without compromising on the experience of both the paid and free user?

I think the smart asses behind DA would know that there are people who will never pay for their account, ever, not even if DA could some how offer us alien technology. So get off our backs already!

I request the guys back there to create a "Get off my Nuts" button in the settings page, in honor of all of the hippies, potheads, broke artists, and pirate users of Deviantart. Who, as pathetic it may seem to the powers that be, can not conjure up the money to get that heavenly subscription. This button will not give the user any additional features, but will alleviate the misery, anxiety, and overall torment of DA's excessive marketing drill.
