>the OG boothcats
Do they really matter, when the OG boothcats (Monaca, Quiche) are practically not used anymore?
muta is still releasing OG-looking boothcats, though. Last release is from last month, but it's sadly not very popular:

Maybe's there's a generational gulf as well. Maybe the current generation of top-selling booth authors is more skilled and can make things from scratch, while the starting booth modellers had to resort to heavy reference of MMD or plagiarism?

>Digitrevx
I think his models have actually never really sold much and received widespread adoption in VRC, so he's not really relevant, though still an interesting example.

>Sour bases
I can totally believe that, I loved that base. It's not booth, but I had actually been wanting to use a 2020 remake of an edit of the Sour base, which would be an example of edits kinda persisting throughout the years.
