I'd argue all the humans left when artstation became big. All my artists friends used to upload their (non porn) work to deviantart before artstation was popular. But banning the porn was the first nail in the coffin for sure.

I haven't head of art station till now. What's the difference from diviant art? Seems like its a censored platform as well from 30 seconds of googling.

The UI looks more "slick", and it is censored, so your portfolio or whatever you want to showcase isn't displayed alongside some MLP porn or pregnant Sonic comics. Which doesn't mean there isn't tons of "artistic nudity" on the site though, last time I checked.

I'm not an artist myself but I know the artists in my industry (videogames) love to use it

Thanks. I never seen it mentioned, although I wouldn't have much reason to not being an artist.
