yo, If someone want to be a contributor, you have to post that many pictures!?, how long did you do that to become a contributor?
Note that unless you specifically want unrestricted uploads, there's no particular reason to aim for Contributor. If all you want is a higher tag search limit, Builder gives unlimited tags, along with all the other benefits of Gold, and is easier to reach than Contributor.

Yep. I managed to get builder in a month with zero uploads via tag gardening and artist entry updates.

What's tag gardening and artist entry updates? Like where would you ask to become a builder or is it an automatic process?
Tag gardening is adding and changing tags to posts. One useful way to garden tag is to remove deprecated tags from posts and add more applicable ones. Have a look at topic #30163.
Artist entry updates is updating links for artists. Look at artist #202098 and see the links they have. Some artists may have missing links, so updating them is a useful contribution.
Becoming a builder is not something you ask for and isn't automatic. An admin manually promotes users every couple of months or so, and we call it a promotion wave.
