I’ve actually been thinking about this a lot, and I’ve kinda of came up with my own theory as to why we’re seeing such a dramatic increase in (usually poor quality) smut webtoons in the past month (this doesn’t apply to the dramatic increase in Korean webtoons)

I have come to a realisation lately that manhwa and manga based around smut using the same storyboard style as manhwa have overtaken the yaoi 'update date' section and as someone who have read a few manhwas and a couple of smut manga (I didn't like it, it was bland overall - Papa datte, shitai and the one where a guy had a tongue piercing, I forgot the name and I couldn't find it) this is troublesome since I mainly read yaoi manga.
I always known that manhwa is very popular and the constant release of them didn't really matter to me since there was still a lot of yaoi manga updating but now all I see is manhwas and smut manga overpopulating the update section. Imagine my expression when I see a lot yaoi in the update section and they're called - the mating season, mushroom syndrome ~cum or die~, does the carpet match the drapes?, kiss you fuck you, cumming in your public bone and etc, I don't even need to check if they're yaoi manga because they scream smut. I used to spend my time reading yaoi now I only read one chapter a day and have moved on to yaoi novels instead lol.
Ever since the smut yaoi (manhwa style) laid it's golden eggs, Papa datte shitai and tongue piercing guy, their overwhelming popularity booped yaoi manga out of existence and now their children have taken over the site with manhwas as their king while they're the queen of the yaoi update section. Every once in a blue moon I would see a manga and one that interest me (I'm not picky), my guess is that their popularity have demotivated people wanting to translate yaoi manga.
