i think it's partially to do with points, too... plus some folks have galleries at other sites and then decide to port all of that over here as well, so, it's not new work, but inundation of older stuff... tedious no matter the reasons or circumstances, i'm guessing...

i've no idea how people pull off even an image a day - i'm kinda envious that folks have that kind of time to play, actually, muchless have what seems to be bucketloads of muse-infested creativity, depending upon one's definition of creativity, i suspect...

i do wish that 'promo' images could somehow have their own, entirely separate gallery tho [meaning you have to seek that gallery out rather than having all images viewable in 'what's new'], as it seems that the galleries these days are dominated by such images -- of course, it could be argued, i guess, that all images are of a promotional nature unless you've created everything in it yourself and are not marketing what you created... and to be fair, to a degree, 'promos' seem to have slowed down a bit, as well... whatever...
