Why the fuck do people do this. Is it some control thing? Has anyone else done this that they can explain why they do it? It's especially infuriating when they're a really popular artist, why risk losing your entire fanbase just because of a bad mood?

It's a number of things. One time this happened to a weeb artist I am following and I messaged him and he said DA striked him for loli so he was moving on to pixiv.
I don't feel like writing any more because I replied to this thread topic at least 30 times by now.

This is one of the reasons why I religiously download everything and have programs set to regularly download new submissions of all the artists I have a passing interest in
Harddrive space is cheap, start downloading

I normally do save a lot of people's art that I like. This person though had hundreds and hundreds of pictures and had been on dA for over a decade, so I figured their stuff would just always be available and only saved the pictures I REALLY liked for inspiration.
For how much art they had, it must've taken her fucking hours to hide it all.
