Euler QQC

I finally found out why none of my articles were loading!

Quote: "From 1727 to 1783 his writings poured out in a seemingly endless flood, constantly adding knowledge to every known branch of pure and applied mathematics"

Questions: Are people like this still around? Are people continuously writing new findings about math, or are most math articles just for explaining what was already proven in Euler's time?

Comment: I mean, I don't know much about the mathematical world around me, or rather, I have never been all that interested in reading articles about math, but this line just made me wonder if we're still making a lot of mathematical discoveries, or at least making new theories about them and publishing them. Honestly, I love learning new things, especially when I have a lot of sources I can refer to. That way I can take the pieces of information from each source that makes sense to me, and piece together my understanding of the subject. So I wonder if more people were interested in learning math back then because there were constantly so many new theories and discoveries and wonders.
