If you think back to ~2010 good quality digital cameras were relatively inexpensive and very common, and there were several photo sharing sites like flickr that offered pretty generous free accounts. Now everyone uses their phone to take pictures. The image quality usually isn't as good, and photo sharing is all on social media. Even where nudity isn't restricted (Twitter, Bluesky, Reddit) those sites are really oriented to posting single images, not full galleries like you do on flickr.
Unfortunately, I don't know that there's anything to be done about it.

I doubt camera quality has anything to do the decline in WNBR female participation. With changing demographics in countries like the UK over the last 15 years, there are simply too many single men turning up to these events that make women feel objectified and uncomfortable. The fun and excitement of women being at a nude event has been destroyed by women feeling like they are a chip that has been thrown to flock of hungry purvey seagulls. Because we ignore this change in demographics and pretend it isn’t real (including deleting posts because they might offend) , it is not only never going to change, it’s going to get worse. There used to be over 100 pages for previous WNBRs in the past. 22 for this year. It will be less than 15 in the next 3 years, and WNBRs will largely be a male nudity event in the future.
