There’s more money in making these gumroad base avatars, than there is making fully from scratch avatars and posting them on booth. The booth love it ratio to people that actually buying the avatar is so fucked. Love it doesn’t not represent how many people that are buying it. They can have 1k love its, but people only buy like 40 of the avatar. 

Where on gumroad, sellers with like 45 ratings will have hundreds of sales. Gumroad avatars are all the same 4 to 5 bases just reused with different outfit changes. I know a creator that made probably 100k by now that has used the same base with different outfit changes since 2020.

There’s other super shady shit going on with booths creators love it score too, but I’m not 100% sure what’s happening with it. All I know is the quality of an avatar, doesn’t reflect how good it really is. 

Then there’s vket rigging the raffle thing with Vrchat admins to get their friends spots, which makes vket content super shit now. There hasn’t been a good vket since the raffle started.
