The really impressive image archivists are on Tumblr (eg https://y2kaestheticinstitute.tumblr.com/ , https://nemfrog.tumblr.com/ ) but the site is far from friendly to them. They've had tons of images taken down for supposed "pornography" (often just algorithmic error, no actual nudity).

High quality image curation communities really seem like they have no real "home" on the internet and there might be an opportunity for a new site that caters to them.

Also, one possible baby step in the direction of incentivizing original content would be to have the primary engagement metric be restricted to images that your account uploads to the site. You should get dopamine spikes for contributing but not for copying.
