actually not insane at all , insane is the low prices for Poser or Daz models that actually should be sold at a way higher price. Most models offered below 15$ are way underpriced for all the hard work considering that the creator only gets half of the sale. if you compare with prices at turbosquid or similar sites you will not even get a 3d toothbrush for such a low price. So actually it is just cheap how Poser and DS creators are selling them selves, comes to it that it does not even sell better if it is cheap in contrary it sells less as it is cheap, even if the models below 15$ are of higher quality then to allot of turbosquid sold models over a 200$. If one want to get a 3D file he pay's the price if he does not like it he will not even pay a buck for it . Comes to it that Poser DS models also can be adapted for other 3D apps so in theory these should be sold for 10 times as much as asked until now it would also be more attractive for the creators.

The way Poser DS is priced is almost discriminating for quiet some great 3D works the artists offer, and even if a model is sold at a value of a pack of cigarettes' the customer moans and asks for more because he spent a 5$ on it ( Strange world )

I would agree, given how much knowledge and work is required to even get to a point where you can make a working 3d model with textures, maybe a character with rigging etc. then they are sold way to cheap compared to that effort. But I think a lot of the market is simply kept alive by peoples passion for 3D, but the huge difference, is that people when people buy these things they still have a lot of work ahead of them. The 3d product, only gets you so far. Whereas a youtuber you just have to watch and be entertained. But still not sure why people are so eager at throwing money at them and then potentially complain whenever something increases in cost, to me that makes little sense.

If someone have enough money to just throw 100-200$ at a random youtuber, one shouldn't complain about anything in regards to money, in my opinion :)
