input from the minority of viewers/fans that are hardcore fans -> newest ep/update ripe with fan provocation (can be positive or negative provocation) that may distance casual viewers and further attract hardcore fans -> intensified fan inputting (since they know it has an effect) -> more provocation etc etc.

it's too early to say if it's going the fanservice ouroborus route, but I'd guess thre's less chance because it has multiple people in control to edit and quality check it hours after an idea pops into creators' heads so whims are less likely

also if it's just a function of some customizable characters being made, looks like somebody missed WITCHSONA WEEK

just gonna pop in with some srs bsns and say that Wheat has perfectly summed up exactly my problem with homestuck which was something ive been trying to put my finger on for the longest time now.

i mean, i like homestucks characters and art a lot, and i like the sense of humor and all, it's just always seemed a bit... masturbatory. but yeah the ouroboros metaphor works perfectly here, in how hussie has gone too far to appeal to only specific fans, and those are the ones who contribute to the plot through idk fanart and memes and shit.

anyways sorry for the homestuck mini-review but it had to be said.
