Another interesting fact, this. A side-effect of the cub flood has made those few adult artists incredibly popular, simply by virtue of the lack of competitors.
A feral artist, for example, is a friend of mine - he holds a modest and notable popularity on FA, but by virtue of having next to no competition on Inkbunny, is one of their leading artists.
There's also a subscription service of some notable artists, working together in a union, who have used that very same lack of competition to spread their names far and wide. Tumblr subscriptions tripled to one of their artists, IIRC.
