It has been like that since the start. It's discouraged because the uploaders has a lot of bias regarding their art and forget the main clause of Danbooru: it is a site to upload art that you deemed good enough to be seen by everyone else. At such most self uploads are shit.

Are you sure you understood the question? They asked about the change of discouraging self-uploads.
The answer is that self-uploads stopped being discouraged like two years ago. It's just that nobody actually knew about it because nobody ever read the upload related wikis, and have just continued to parrot "self-uploads are discouraged" no matter how many times it's explained that they aren't.
