deviantART.com Listed Top Site Visited By Teens

Scott Jarkoff recently alerted me to the fact that deviantART.com was recently listed (1st) in a demographic research study of top websites visited by teens between the ages of 13-17 years old.

deviantART is an online art community for artists and art lovers to interact in a variety of ways, ranging from the submission of art to conversations on a number of topics. In its purest form, deviantART is a means for expressing yourself in a variety of ways. deviantART was started by Scott Jarkoff (Jark), Angelo Sotira (Spyed) and Matt Stephens (Matteo), who launched the site on August 7, 2000.

    DeviantART - “70.5% intellect, 29.5% angst!

    More like 70.5% angst, 29.5% intellect.

    The word ‘angst’ is way overused. It isn’t even the major issue with teens on the internet. The real problem is when you give them any authority. They start thinking they know what’s best for everyone else on the planet. It’s ugly. Responsibility and social insecurity just don’t mix.

    … and on that note, really, devart is a good example.

    This is incorrect. deviantART is listed first, it is not ranked first. Technically in terms of unique audience on this chart we would be the 14th largest out of 15.

    We do, however, have the highest % of users in that demographic overall.
