Dear Deviantart,

After receiving a three month subscription from :iconmoonbeam13: I came to the realization that the subscription offers nothing that I desire. I am content to browse 24 deviations at a time, I've found that CSS styles are not very vision impaired friendly so there's not much I can do to my journal, and I don't really need to see more deviations as thumbnails when looking at my devwatchlist's submissions.

That said, I have a very humble request. Please stop trying to pressure me back into getting a subscription. Yes, I used the word pressure. I can understand the e-mail I received when my subscription was about to run out. That's a standard practice on websites that offer paid memberships. What is NOT standard practice is interrupting my browsing with a full page ad prodding me to resubscribe when the subscription ran out. Another non standard and rather spammish (but I'm not sure I want to call it spam since it is infrequent) is to send me messages through the notification section of the message center.

I am a smart person. I graduated with two degrees from a reputable state university. I have an IQ somewhere between 126 and 136. If I want a subscription, please have the faith in me that I can figure out that the link stating "upgrade now" must be where I can renew my subscription if I ever so desire.

I am not swayed by such tactics. If anything, and many of my teachers over the two decades I spent in some sort of school environment can attest to this, this type of pressure advertising bombardment always sends me in the opposite direction. I admit I was the kid who didn't get motivated by teacher's giving us candy. I don't get motivated by fliers shoved in my post box for various things. What motivates me is internal and my own desires, which currently cannot and do not involve a subscription.

I know that in this economy where people are reluctant to shuck out the money to have th membership, you are probably suffering a loss in the gains you typically make in a year here at Deviantart. I know this creates an environment which is tempting to carrot and stick everyone that can be carrotted and sticked into getting a subscription. That's business I know.

I just would like to be offered it once and be done with it. I'm not into buying luxuries right now. I'm not into purchasing something that is beyond my means right now.

I would like some respect. The site is already well advertised without assaulting my message center.

Thank you for your time I am really grateful for this site,
Uozumi

I'm fresh out of Purdue University with a BA in Creative Writing and a BA in History. I'm a Capricorn Wood Rat (+) and enjoy reading, writing, drawing, and learning. I hope to be a librarian someday. I do not submit original artwork here because if someone were to steal it, I'd rather it be a fanart than something I originally created. As for the poetry, I just need a place to put it.
