Re: Giantess Club
I'm not ignoring what you mean, Dex, but as it pertains to the Giantess Club, $3 isn't a complete waste even for a few less than stellar comics they've put out. Now, if I were to buy a single, <15-page comic for $10, and not get any satisfaction despite how well it was advertised and the previews available; then yeah, I wouldn't want to give my money to them anymore.
Your "advice" can be applied to just about anything and everything that we as consumers already take into account. Lord knows how many comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've read that I didn't feel any satisfaction in the final product. Does that mean I would forsake them by no longer buying any of their books? Of course not, because there will always be something else that will actually be worth my money. And the only research there is to do that pertains to this medium is who's writing/drawing and what's it about. Not a whole lot more to go on, aside from how much it's being sold for. As much as I hate paying $4 for a Marvel comic, the ones that I do buy for that amount are ones that I do enjoy getting on a monthly basis.
And besides, despite how terrible it is to have such a broken system in place, the option to only buy a single vs paying the monthly subscription shows that GC are willing to reshape their business model to appease those who can't afford to put out $X/month.
