I download from the gallery all the time. Searching for interesting builds and looking at them in game is half the fun for me.
I downloaded some houses from the pop now when it first came up and then I got bored with it because the rowes you see at first sight are always the same. So now I switch to new at once and work my way through rows and rows of houses that don't appeal to me to find the ones that do.
But I don't mind because I think it is worth it. many people don't. Now the gallery offers to them a quicker way of getting to the houses that are liked by most people and they are much more likely to find a lot that suits their purposes a lot easier. The gallery provides a service, it is not a contest.
I build myself and of course it is good to see that other people like what I make. If this new gallery reduces the amount of downloads I get than that is unfortunate but hardly the end of the world. Those who seek for different buildings will switch to new, those who don't care about that will not.
