Amen. It's dying. Forcing Eclipse on everyone at the cost of several old features was certainly one nail in the coffin.

I don't use IG myself, but you don't need to use it to look at someone's art with it, and your engagement far surpasses what I could get with a year of work on Artstation. That said, Artstation has a good professional userbase, and it's probably the best 'free portfolio' right now. I do wish it had DeviantArt's level of blogging/comment on portfolio type of features, it's actually a real pain to go and like a bunch of art or browse through what your list of watched people made to leave a bunch of comments though, that's why I think engagement is low compared to IG users.
