<![CDATA[Whats with the extreme lack of quality in avatars now?]]>In the past avatars were usually very high quality, they were optimized, had a lot of stuff made from scratch and in general most avatars were very pretty... Avatars today are extremely expensive and lazy, its just a copy of their last model, reused assets and like 50% of them you have to fix yourself because the creator couldn't be bothered fixing clipping ahem lividlily ahem and its just sad seeing all these creators becoming so lazy with their creations but still believing they're worth the 30-50 dollar price tag.

As a consumer, I will always choose the best service for myself.

Then people leaking them made a lot of them leave from lack of motivation. Then VRChat got popular by normies and the market exploded. So now instead of quality bringing in people its how the model looks. I've noticed that pretty looking models are always the poorest quality but sell amazingly well, and vise versa. My best guess is, the ones who put in the most effort quit and the ones who are just here for the money are still around. 🤷 But that's just my own guess.

Honestly, I get it some people like the big barbie doll look with a booty so big it identifies as a bookshelf and breasts that are comedically large but from a buyers perspective I'm noticing many of these avatar creators are sticking to niche avatar slop rather than cornering a market on something that the masses are genuinely interested in buying with convenience and effort in mind.

In the end I stopped buying from hypocritical American avatar makers since they think their kitbashed avatars which majority of them made with stolen assets, worth $40 to $60+ and started supporting foreign creators on Booth that sell their nicer assets for cheaper (I add a tip sometimes if I REALLY like an asset since they price them so cheap). Most of those foreign sellers from my experience actually have the languages translated in japanese, korean AND english which makes me happy they at least think about their buyers instead of inconveniencing them.

They don’t accept your currency, and they don’t translate the information into your language. It’s up to you to figure out the information and find a way to buy it. Something that should be your right—the right to know exactly what products or services will be provided to you before you buy them—becomes your obligation, and too bad for you if you end up buying something you didn’t want.

It’s hard not to believe that the new avatars are being sold to a pre-established niche when potential new buyers are treated with such contempt.

Because they sadly got a dedicated fan base that will buy any slop that is thrown their way.
