I've been a long-time patron (10 years or thereabouts) of the English DLSite page. They sell some great doujin products (Stellavanity and Hatoful Boyfriend, for example). Additionally, there are a lot of royalty-free audio/visual assets for game creation which is always nice.
There's a summer sale so I decided to revisit it again and... yeah, it's almost entirely flooded with ASMR goods now. This isn't really a new thing -- it's been a popular trend for a few years now, but I always found it kind of weird. It's not really a problem except that I have to wade through these when looking for deals (lol).
I always wondered how an extremely niche site like DLSite (well, the English version, anyway) stayed afloat this long. I guess I have my answer.
Well, good for them, I guess.
