I seriously don't get why art needs to have artist standards. No matter what I upload, it just gets deleted, by Millcore.
Can someone tell me why art needs to meet the artistic standards?

well my friend, unfortunately every piece of art incurs a cost,
the cost of storing it on the server, the cost of indexing it in the database, the cost of uploading and downloading it, maintaining backups, and the inherent burden of sharing intellectual property.
sure, the cost of each individual post is small, often immeasurable, but when you have millions of posts it becomes substantial.
that is why every post needs to be at least valuable enough to justify its cost. without some kind of quality standards, the site would end up spending a whole lot of money to host art that the user base is not interested in.
Thank you for your help
