I am interested in your ideas but I honestly don't know where you are going to get any reliable feedback to your questions. Quite a few people have left the Renderosity forums and some no longer shop here. Many don't shop at Daz while others do but never visit the forums there. Of course the majority of Poser users don't visit the forum anyway and I guess the same is true for DS.
As ghostship2 has already stated a lot of vendors have followed the money which is to be expected, they want to make a living but it is not a good guide to how many are using Poser. My personal spend here is down to zero from around $300 a month but that has nothing to do with the vendors and I still use Poser on an almost daily basis. What money I do spend has been at Hivewire3D and RDNA although it begins to look as though it might just be Hivewire3D in future.
Would I buy more Poser content, if I like it and can use it, yes I would but I am not about to buy stuff purely because it is for Poser and someone claims Poser is in trouble.
I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 - Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU . The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
