Choosing something good over something crappy can be a hard choice these days. x.x

Hopefully things are different, at one point DA had issues with people getting viruses from the ads they had, possibly a script error along as an issue with the type of browser being used. But this was like 5-6 years ago and luckily I run ad blockers and script prompts... bloody hell some of the stuff that DA tries to get off a persons computer from personal to the types of sites you visit can be annoying as heck.

Just for shits and giggles, I decided I'd see how many elements uBlock Origin typically blocks on some sites' homepages:

DA (Today section): 8
ArtStation: 2
Flickr: From 9 to the hundreds as you keep scrolling down. I wish I was lying about that one.

Also, it seems like the traffic in and out of DA has observed quite the increase by the end of 2016.

Flickr is still around!?!? =\

Not to surprised by traffic on DA, they have a fair amount of postings on stuff from Facebook and ect to draw more traffic in.
