The trend is very simple. The popularity of the characters are pretty consistent. How he/she can use it? That's all up to L&P, which has been my point all along. Why he/she does the polls and what impact it will have on the future is known only to L&P.
The only thing the polls are to us is that we can see which characters others, i.e. patreons, like and prefer. Seeing the polls as some guide of what is to come is just ridicilous.
Had L&P, for instance, asked his patreons to vote for what character storyline he should focus on next, it would have been something completely different. That would have required some obligation on his/her part.
I've tried to explain that over and over but it seems like talking to a wall. You just dont get it, do you?
You are not seeing something very simple.
It is clear that you are as blind as his other followers.
That's why I call them followers or fanatics.
They are so blind to him that they do not see what is right in front of them.
The number of paid members was stagnant starting in 2022.
It only increased once in January 2024.
However, the graph of the poll continues to increase every time.
This is why I said he is not resetting the poll results and is continuing to accumulate them. (except for version 0.201.)
If he just keep adding numbers without resetting each time, it is almost impossible to change the results of the poll.
That's why I say it's not worth it.
There are characters that got less votes than the subway thug.
Marie, Emma, Christine
Marie and Christine nevertheless appeared and are likely to appear again.
Emma was appeared, but she was ultimately scrapped.
(When Emma was scrapped, a separate poll was conducted, not this one.)
But why is Subway Thug, who got more votes than them, still not appearing?
Clark is on the list despite being a one-off character. (if)
So what about Larry?
Clark is on the list because he is not a one-off character. (if)
So what about Bennett?
Deshaun wasn't even on the list.
Despite this, Deshaun was suddenly added to the list and a story related to him was created.
Do you want to discuss the definition of a poll with me now?
Then you chose the wrong partner.
I'm not talking about "the definition of a poll" but rather "L&P's way of using polls is wrong."
I am telling him to control the intensity of the fire, but you are telling me that fire is naturally hot.
You select the Netflix item and the YouTube item, and then you look at the results that do not reflect your opinion at all and say, “As expected, Netflix and YouTube are doing a good job.”
Not me.
