Field notes
The site calculates a lifetime daily average for each listing by dividing total downloads by listing age, then aggregates those figures by category. Its displayed sample includes 738,451 listings, with Tools at 1.07× the sample average and Art at 0.55×. The homepage also reports that the top 1% accounts for 45.4% of recorded downloads. The publisher cautions that the observations do not prove an edit will increase downloads or measure demand for paid prints.
