Having my usual morning scroll through the new uploads for the odd interesting Model has been getting difficult of late. Seems the latest craze is to bulk-upload entire catalogues of Wall Plaques and Xmas Ornaments for a few odd “Makers”. This gets old real quick I tell you, I’m more interested in watching the paint fade.
Please MakerWorld either give us the option to Mute a Maker or at the very least limit uploads to 10/day or something realistic.
I mean no disrespect to the artists who spend countless hours for their Art, but these examples I’m referring to are simply copy/paste. They don’t even take the time to render realistic backgrounds.
Just thinking now, heck I would even stretch my luck and ask for a mute button for 2D Art and Generative 3D. I can’t remember downloading one, let alone being interested enough to click on one.
I’d love a checkbox upon uploading that asks if a print is a trinket or a practical print, and then being able to use that as a filter when searching for something.
I have zero interest in the former, but have to wade through millions of them each time I’m looking for a practical print.
I agree, though the current crop of uploaders are basically interested in getting views through spamming the feed and I don’t think they’re too fussed with staying within their lanes. It’d end up like the “printed image evidence” box.
I’m pretty much the same, if I need something I’ll drop into fusion and play there.
The issue for me is I don’t need or use the search/filter function as I scroll through the new uploads for the odd thing that is FTIJPI and tag it onto my queue. The spam is a nuisance after the 200th snowflake wall art, I tend to get bored and give up looking.
Totally agree, I too like to browse and see if anything I haven’t thought of is available, but with all the garbage uploaded, the willingness to scroll endlessly for 1 mildly interesting design decreases fast.
