THIS is the question I've been thinking about for 5 weeks.
Still too early to say. What success will Melody have ? Just this weekend several very successful YT channels were banned. Will this directly or indirectly cause Patreon to nuke its NSFW creators ? Will MrDots find his "ideal" non-Patreon platform ?
These are just some of the issues that can impact DMD.
But if DMD updates every 2-3 months, for example, I'd think what would have taken several monthly updates would be condensed into that one update.
From a business viewpoint, it's all about looking for your NEXT meal ticket. If Melody is successful enough--only MrDots can judge this, ofc--the next project will likely be a Melody-type clone (older male MC acquiring a younger harem) on Patreon. DMD might be SOL.
But for now, DMD must be kept alive awaiting developments on the above-mentioned issues. If needed, DMD will serve as the future meal ticket.
