The most interesting markets from before July or August are fairly long term (on the order of years).

It is not that recent markets have not been interesting. The median quality of markets feels low because you are experiencing them rn, the low-quality markets from pre-July or pre-August have been resolved already and we just do not encounter them anymore, and the only markets from before that we do encounter are the longer-term ones.

A lot of markets in the recent months have also been interesting but they are almost all short-term markets (<2 months, and mostly <=1month).

@firstuserhere The August cutoff is because of LK-99 and the influx of new users. I've never seen this many rubbish markets in nearly a year using this website.

@NicoDelon fair enough. I've been relatively less active recently, so i might've missed the low quality market flood

The top quality has definitely increased. But at the same time it's harder to find good ones.

@Odoacre There is a lot of rubbish to sort through.
