Strangely I would actually say one of the reasons for that is because a lot of the porn is of higher level in of art quality. Very low level porn is actually quite rare while low level safe art is quite common.
@marinus18
Well, yeah. I was trying to prove that porn wasn’t taking over, it just sometimes feels like it does.
And for your second point - yes, suggestive is kinda not here nor there, so that’s exactly why there are separate calcutations for “safe+suggestive vs questionable+explicit” and just “safe vs everything else”.

That isn’t really proof it’s taking over or something. It settled into the 30% ratio in 2015 and has stayed that way for the next 3 years.
Also many “suggestive” ones are very tame. Often including things not directly sexual but connected to a fetish.

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).
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.
I do wonder why Pornhub is the most famous porn site. It’s by no far the largest nor the most active one. By how often it’s referenced it seems like a porn version of Youtube and it definitely is not.
Indeed but it also often is of higher average quality.
That’s true, but it also generally gets higher ratings than safe works of comparable quality.

Well, that’s just personal preference then, not really unfortunate on the site’s part then.
Aaaand there you go:
your current filter.I broke it down to a year by year and posted the results :3

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%)
