That wasn't directed at you, just at the inevitable person who was going to make a claim that can be disproved by looking at the site for 5 seconds. Those unfortunately are very common.
Oh, okay. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Danbooru is supposed to be a high quality archive, not a "save every single image that exists" archive.
Not a "save every single image that exists" archive. Except it is, but only contributors.
And lets not ignore Albert deletion ratio.
Danbooru identity crisis between being an archival and curatorial site...ah yes, the great form of art criticism: "the disinterest button".

If you think a low quality image shouldn't have been approved, that's what the flag button is for. If contributors are consistently uploading low-quality works, that's a call for demotion.

Old anonymous uploads were attributed to his account, so it's not even representative in the slightest. Plus he was uploading in what was effectively a different era of not just the site, but of the internet.
Didn't know about the first part.
But we call prehistoric handprints on walls art, right? So era and the tools available shouldn't matter. I don't see historians pressing the disinterest and poor quality button on them lol.

I don't cosplay Christian Griepenkerl when I use booru. I imagine the average booru users won't care and go out of their way to quality check posts. Someone drew it, someone uploaded it, someone upvoted it, even if I don't like it, why not just ignore it?

I'm frankly no longer sure what you're arguing for tbh (do you think all images should be approved / uploaded no matter what? do you think contributors are being unpunished for uploading low quality art that shouldn't be approved in your opinion?) but if you want art of Any Quality that's what deviantArt is for. Or pixiv, if you're looking in the wrong places.

Danbooru's only value is being a centralized and well-cataloged archive. I would not use this site if every artist cross-platform upload and never deletes their works.
Ie, the Internet Archive or Kemono system.
I'm going to echo what others said: If I don't think something is good enough, I don't upload it. If I wouldn't personally approve it as an approver, I don't upload it.
This is especially true as an unres user. Out of all my post-promotion uploads, exactly two have been deleted.
I personally just don't see a use for this, especially when you can already send something to the queue and it's not like it'll reduce your available slots.

All of this is to say, the only reason why Danbooru is 'less diverse' is because people decide to upload 'downstream' onto other general boorus rather than brave the queue here and become part of Danbooru's community.
I would think it's because of the two tag search restriction no other website on earth (not even Sankaku) has.

They essentially do all the time. There's so much art from the past that hasn't made it to your awareness because it didn't make it past the "approvers" of each of the ages between it and you.
You might just think of the historic art you can think of as "all of the historic art" (or most of it), but that's only because of how totally and utterly it's been skipped for "approval" in each age.
