Actually quantity-wise there’ve been more and more safe art every year since 2015 (2015 was the lowest point for the safe art). Percentage-wise things look worse, but not too much though. It seems like around 2015-2016 we had a stabilization of safe to porn ration around 70 and 30 percent respectively, and currently they are in a stalemate.
 
And honestly, I can live with those numbers.

It actually isn’t as bad as it looks. I, at some point, took some time and looked at the numbers, and now, just for kicks, I redid my calculations. So, I took a number of images under “safe”, “suggestive”, “questionable” and “explicit” tags and compared them to their sum (I didn’t took “grimdark” and “semi-grimdark”, cause those could overlap with other tags, and they aren’t the focus of this calculation anyway).
 
Currently it looks like this:
 
total images: 1556532 (100%)  
…………..safe: 1160121 (74.5%)  
…suggestive: 87783 (5.6%)  
questionable: 87225 (5.6%)  
……….explicit: 221403 (14.2%)
 
So even if we say that “suggestive”, “questionable” and “explicit” images are all in “porn” category, it’s actually just ~25.5% of fandom output. And if we say that “suggestive” isn’t “porn”, then it goes down to ~20%. So, really, it’s not that bad. We just have some very prolific nsfw artists that make it look like there is an overwhelming amount of porn being produced.
 
It would be interesting to make this calculation more detailed by breaking it down to a year by year to see if there is a higher or lower percentage of porn nowadays, compared to previous years, but I’m not sure if it’s possible to search by a date range.
