Maybe it's just me, but I feel like there's less new yiff are around these days. Maybe it's because the brony world is winding down now that mlp gen 4 is over? Or maybe I'm just wrong?

I was going to pull the numbers from each year but it turns out e621 only returns about 53k results per search, and you'd have to start breaking searches in half to get the real number. This quickly got out of hand from 2010 onwards so October it is.
I think it's just you, e6 and pixiv (if you follow furry tags) are full of great new stuff every week. In saying that, I have only really been keeping up with new stuff for a couple of years as opposed to trawling through the archives
