(A LOT of this depended on how the site owner set it up ... owners could have done longer cast times to give the submitted gallery more exposure, but many just didn't do that... opting instead of higher clicked/skimmed thumbs to increase their trade ratios).
The exception to this may be Smart TXT, like Library of Thumbs uses. Which is still a great site to this day.
Again, this was/is just my opinion.
There's a reason great old-school sites like PinkWorld, Elephant List, Shemp, etc went TGPX and others like WorldSex/Al4a went Brownie. None of the larger sites went SmartThumbs after COMUS died. TGPX filled that niche with it's flexibility, lower cost and ease of use.
