Yes a lot has changed for the worse, my biggest concern is the massive influx of new users literally flooding the platform with nonsense or stole content. The amount of shit I see here before seeing something actually worth my time is insane. I feel there would be only 1 solution...filter out the low reputation posters. That could be done in two ways:
1 make an actual filter so you can determine from which reputation and up you would want to see content.
2 make a low rep pool for new users to swim around in and prove themselves to appointed moderators before they may enter the more quality pool of higher users. This would for sure eliminate the flood of trash thats coming in every day now. The low amount of votes they get doesnt stop them, they just make more to get something out of it, literally flooding with trash.

i agree with you with the objection that i see many upvotes in posts with shit photos, like "someone eating his food on vacation" "a baby with a sexy pose" etc so such a filter wont stop this it may stop someone that will have exceptional photos like B&W street ....... i think there is no way back anymore
Thats why it needs to be moderated. For the most parts its low rep users who post the most shit. They will remain stuck there, good users will easily grow out of it. Of course there will always be high rep users posting trash but it will be significantly less
How about some kind of bidbot that automatically downvotes stolen content, so that spammers remain out of view and receive less rewards? It wouldn't be perfect but it might be a way to automate the process in the short term without punishing all new users or requiring an army of trusted moderators to filter them up the platform.
Is it that easy to create such a bot? You see people copying from various sources and compine texts claiming it is genuine
I wouldn't know where to begin, but with all the techy types on here I'm sure someone would be able to.
