Hi! I found this out through other artists bulletins. Deviantart is pro israel, so I will not be taking da points anymore.

I always wanted to have da points as an option bc I understand how much conversion rates and having to work with paypal sucks, but I cannot continue to use their plataform.

This bulletin goes into more detail if you're looking for more information on the situation - https://toyhou.se/~bulletins/1531141.important-srs-talking-about-da

sadly idk any other sites that have a similar point system to deviantart, but if you can't use paypal you can look into alternatives like e-gift cards, in-game currencies or exchange art for other things you want like nitro or premium versions of other services! I know this aren't equal substitutes but it's the best I have seen people offer as alternatives.
