If you consider that 3/4 (or in some cases, 100%) of what you are going to see at and airport is the A320 and 737 family of aircraft, no wonder there are less and less airliners on the Home Page. Consolidation of the airline industry also plays into this. When you consider how many airlines were around 30 years ago vs today, the variety has definitely lessened.
The one engine under each wing "syndrome" is pretty much all you are going to see these days, with a few exceptions (717, CRJ, etc.), so this adds to the boredom.

We have precisely zero control over what happens outside of the forum. We are forum moderators, not website moderators. I have no idea how those images are chosen, but it's not done intentionally to allow for the promotion of some sort of propaganda. There are quite a few people interested in Russian or Soviet aircraft who are also against the war in Ukraine, so I'm not sure that it's fair to imply that those pictures are for propaganda rather than just general interest. This issue has come up regularly over the years (and the issue of Russian militarily aircraft at least twice in the last year) — the fact is that the site exists for the interest of all things aviation, not just commercial aircraft. It's all outside of my control anyway, so I guess I'll just say, "it is what it is."

Europeans don't have to deal with the aggressive espionage of the CCP like we do and I am tried of seeing Chinese military's gadgets in my face. Moderators can't move military pictures to a separate landing page?
