>>88014051Taking the story in a direction he never really planned out
Introducing a new set of 4 kids only slowed down the story even harder, with the Alpha kids being mainly filler to drag out the comic, with a few interesting tid bits but much of it being lowsy Teen Drama which was never the point of Homestuck
Homestuck was kids playing a game that changed the world
Starting a Kickstarter for a game. Hiveswap
It slowed down all progress on the comic as a man who never was never good at managment began to make poor deals and got most of the money stolen. He tried to make the game come out around the time Homestuck ended but because of his shitty business decisions he ended up firing a whole staff and then had his whole team learn how to make a game from scratch, which of course costs cash
That caused a dwindling interest in the general public, so he pandered more and more of the comic to Tumblr, which is home to loyal fucks, give one thing to Tumblrites they are loyal and will drive shit into the ground. This pissed off a lot of readers because Pandering is different from Fan Service.
Then a full year with no updates, and a 6 month hiatus. The general audience no longer cared leaving Tumblr, Reddit, and 4chan the only places outside of Cons to talk about it.
Due to all the drains he had, legal issues, Making a Game, Running a Company, having a to watch all your peers get more popular. He ultimatlly ended up Having no inspiration to give the ending much effort, so he payed other artisits to finish and didn't give many a satisfying conclusion, then out of the Blue a traier for Hiveswap and now the updates being moved to Instagram which makes less sense and is in general is a poor choice, and only exists to try and get random uses to read and get into Homestuck, which won't work as most people aren't going to set aside weeks to read a full fucking Webcomic that has been going on for years
Tumblr only cares about THE GAY, much less story quality
