Did you forget about /s/Infographics? I might upload and post images of my graph paper collection. Metric rules, Imperial ruled, heavier accent lines, with and without punched holes, non-repro light blue vs light turquoise, some with cat bites, etc. Or my collection of skin graph photos. Maybe not.

People just don't want to pay if it's free for downloading.
