Has the bottom fallen out of the growth/GTS paid content market?
I've noticed that ZZZ, Tetsu and a few others have either stopped releasing comics or moved on to Patreon. Are people not buying content anymore? Is it a problem with piracy? Anyone know what's going on?

Re: Has the bottom fallen out of the growth/GTS paid content market?
Well, piracy has *always* been a problem with this stuff. It seems unlikely that it would've gotten so much worse within the last year that it drove everyone out of the market (though it did finally cause a change in how Media Impact does their stuff).
Tetsu's always been kind of a slow worker (though definitely worth the wait), but I have noticed a sharp decline in ZZZ's output. No idea why, though. Patreon may have something to do with it, as it seems like a more reliable source of money than just putting out a comic and hoping it sells. However, I don't see that as a likely culprit for the entirety of the problem... I'd say send Z a message and ask what's up, but he isn't the best at replying in a timely fashion (or, y'know, at all). I plan to start doing a few growth comics myself, once I get a couple of my outstanding debts paid off. Maybe in a few years' time I'll have an explanation right from the horse's mouth? lol

The problem is that when it comes to porn, this stuff simply doesn't sell as much. It's a niche market as it is. And yeah, when most studios force themselves to go to straight up commissions, it tends to force content into a dry spell. Why? Because not a lot of people have the money to pay for commissions. When it comes to expenses very few people have enough to make this fetish community a priority. |

Some people like giant men, or FMG, or whatever, in addition to giantess content. Some people actually do care whether there's a well-written story to go along with the fetish content. We all have different tastes, and you can't really fault content producers for making things with broader appeal. Having said that, I will agree that it's really frustrating to buy a piece of content that's 80% setup/story and 20% fetish content. Happily, we at Interweb Comics know not to produce such works, and we make sure there's a fair amount of actual fetish content in every issue we release. It's a rule I've tried to stick to in the stuff I personally release as well. ^_^ Quote:
I'd love to see a really talented writer and director take a giantess concept mainstream.

I don't think Hollywood would do a good job. It seems they can't make just a good movie. They have to inject in your face messages. But if they can I would want to see them remake this scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7xeWGIenOQ

Maybe that means I like GTS "erotica" rather than "porn"? I feel like the things that make the giantess fetish unique (the growth, clothes ripping, size comparisons, cramped spaces, and dealing with the real world implications of something as outlandish as someone's size having drastically changed) often get rushed or skipped over to get to the more traditional "porn action". I guess I'm just weird that way.

Sexual content is nice to have, especially with the ways that size alteration makes for bizarre and interesting new things to try. But if you just want porn, well, the internet is already full of that. If you're making size fetish porn, it's nice to focus on the things that are actually about size fetish.

Another factor could be life gets in the way. Things come up and take away any attention that could be given to making this sort of content.

Re: Has the bottom fallen out of the growth/GTS paid content market?
I mean, maybe? But there for a long time, Z was putting out like one comic a week. That seems like the kind of regular schedule that's a bit hard to suddenly disrupt, especially given that he wasn't the one actually making the artwork.

But not every content creator is the same, which is why my statement was more generalized than specific to any one person.
