CG is for charismatic assholes (YBZ, EVS, Malin, Cecil, maybe Ro). Smiller was an unlikeable asshole and was unwilling to make bucks as a heel. If he pulled a Kyle Riter and drew away from videos/livestreams he could make bank.
Smiller? Isn't that what Frog's spergs call him? Miller has plenty of charisma, he's just bad at youtube. Good tube for the sperg audience is about medium length, content that is relevant to current events that other channels have run to death and outrage clicks and has long content that is ideally a tamer version of the jerry Springer show with the chance for spergs to give you money to feel like they matter, even if they don't.
There are other ways to tube, but Miller sucks at those too. Charisma has nothing to do with it.
Seems to me the Jesus stuff would make him nope out of a lot of the current CG offerings. Which is kind of a pity since he is probably at least as talented as EVS.
He's worked with Tom Taylor and Phil Jimenez and Erik Larsen. Mike was a principle artist at DC on Injustice. He'd do great with Richard, who would solve most of his problems and frankly he'd be an upgrade over the current talent at Splatto. Problem is he has an ego. He is devout, so if you spam his mail box with penises and blaspheme around him all the time while calling yourself a christian he's going to get pissed off. But Richard isn't going to do that. At this point, I don't see it happening.
His coda is:
"Warcampaign is bad, but was right about all the people that I happened to burn bridges with, conveniently."
Mike might be the only one willing to return, but that doesn't mean he's going to get more support without fulfilling some projects. The Innocuous Pride is a Sin tweets don't seem so bad next to harassing Anna and gatekeeping 150k Anna / Star Wars customers out of Comicsgate.
Perhaps timing for his return will be when customers start receiving their Lonestar 2 books. That should make resumption of Diplomacy look natural.
Has that still not shipped? The best thing Frog said was on that Liam show when that faggot was bitching about all the artists who are going to have to learn to code. Frog, rightly, said that he and others were saying for years this was happening and that even still, its not enough to just draw. Build a platform.
