Title: New vector contributors started uploading thousands of images in one day
Post by: Shelma1 on June 13, 2020, 14:24

There seems to have been a sudden influx of new vector contributors in late May-early June who each uploaded thousands of vectors in one day. Here’s one. http://m-rank.net/?search=240023765 (http://m-rank.net/?search=240023765)

That’s why vectors are holding steady despite so many people disabling their ports.

If you look at recent uploads, there's masses of near duplicates in the vector category. Eg

Flat Art added almost 80,000 vectors in January alone.

What this shows is what we have been hypothesizing......removing high sellable assets will be replaced with garbage.  This is a very good example.
