He has openly admitted, many times, his regret for creating the "trolls" which completely derailed the original intent of Homestuck and completely turned his devoted fanbase over to a bunch of insufferable, egotistical, new-age furries.
But, you better fucking believe that this "insufferable" new fanbase is bigger, more vocal, and has a LOT more money, which they are a LOT more willing to spend (I often wonder if being a furry, brony, or apparently Hussie-troll-fan is a symptom of some mental disorder stemming from a privilege/luxury-based lifestyle that affords too much free time and resources, what with how so many of them will frequently drop hundreds of dollars on, say, one single-page colour commission of their OC fucking a fire hydrant). Hussie sure as fuck didn't steer the comic away from the grey-skinned zodiac snowflake kids (which one are YOU? Take this survey!), in fact, he indulged in them, making the story focus almost more on them than the original characters and plot, making big musical animations and interactive games all about them, to the tune of some sizeable donations and funding.
As much as he "regrets" losing his fanbase and admirable spirit of his original style, he sure as fuck has no intentions of going back, or losing his new cash-and-praise dispensers.
So maybe a little gluttony, but let's not forget Bum Tickley's little "charity fundraiser" that seemed to coincidentally end in a new and very expensive drawing tablet (which he uses for all of his very precise cutting and pasting of character "parts" together to make scenes, and almost zero drawing). Webcomic artists are mostly pretty greedy.
