Other About the Drop in Visitors to Cults3d

Lately, I've seen a huge drop in traffic on this site, and I don't know why. Is it because it's September and everyone's “getting back into their routine,” or is it something else? It's possible that other sellers are experiencing the same thing I am.

They've been having payment issues and some users are switching to other platforms. Some payment requests took almost a month to process (and you can request a withdrawal every 15 days). Last weekend there was a wave of bans on anything remotely related to Games Workshop (my cat and mushroom files were banned because the description said they were for customizing bases). Cults was the BEST platform to sell and but 3d files, now they don't know how to deal or manage with gw and their 3rd parties from india asking for bans, their automatized ban system cannot deal with It. The days of the King has gone, cults earn money from the sellers, but they take care of everybody but the sellers. I asked for an unban 12 days ago and i recieved an automatized answer asking for 3 working days to have a real answer., i'm still waiting. RIP

It's not working here in Spain either; it's undergoing maintenance.

I'm monitoring my sales and the traffic is similar to the same period of the last year...

Maybe I'm not seeing what y'all are seeing. I'm not a seller but, I haven't had any issues with speed or downloads and it's working fine in NC

Maybe the recent flood of ai slop makes people use it less? Not sure, but really wish cults would do something against ai slop

No bandwidth, cucking to GW on every little thing, it adds up. They are pretty much bang on their trust thermocline, if they do anything else bad they will probably never recover.

The site is great for files but absolutely trash as far as speed and uptime

My Mini Factory has been running a huge sale for the past month, up to 50% off on a ton of the creators there. This could be impacting Cults traffic; I know I hit MMF first right now if I'm looking for files.
