Not sure why people, esp those involved in R18 content creation, still use patreon even after patreon kicked people off of their service and kept the money for themselves. Just freezing someone's account would be terrible, let alone that.

Subscribestar (& alternatives) aren't perfect obviously but none of the govt middlemen/govt payment processors is worse than patreon. TheCount is extra vulnerable because of the type of content he makes. I just don't get it.

Reach I guess, a lot of subscribers are still too lazy to switch to something requiring anything else than Paypal.

It's mainly because that's where the money is. Many times more people are using Patreon compared to Subscribestar.

Hot take time.

TheCount absolutely fucking up the Overwatch video was on par with the last season of Game of Thrones. He was an absolute chad, influential and beloved by all, and then he just flushed it all down the drain with some lazy slop. I can't count how many times I've fapped to Casting Call; but the Dva X Tracer video barely makes it into my rotation, let alone my finish video.

I hope he can bring it back around, but it's going to be a long way back up.

I dunno, majority of the artists when goes this road they never came back, bulgingsenpai, desireSFM, nagoo. They used to be great, i even was sub to desireSFM for a time, but delays became more frequent and when he released it was not that good, his last 2 animations was really meh, and nagoo is working on a single animation almost a year now

Another possible hot take: I hated that cheesy intro he made to get around Patreon, casting call did it the best

Broadly speaking, I agree with the above quoted. TheCount has indeed fallen off.

However, I would argue that this is not new. His work had been dropping in quality for awhile now. Look back at his Seraphine & Neeko vids and compare to his last 2, maybe 3 videos (Depending on how you slice it). It's night & day, so to speak. I understand that there were issues that arose. I get that 100%. Does that really justify both a series of delays AND a significant drop in quality for such a long/consistent amount of time? don't get me wrong, I'm nobody. Just some guy on the asshole of the internet that isn't even one of his contributors. I'm just saying..... he, like toutetu & blanc, seems to be phoning it in or perhaps just doesn't care anymore.
