I guess I should add that a collaboration where any side feels forced to stay isn't really a collaboration. In a world free of marketers at least, a creator is under no obligation to cater message or voice to what anyone else wants to hear. And fans need to realize this. An emotional involvement does not create obligation. Whether in personal relationships or creative ones.
So no one owes their fans more of the same.
Giving the fans what they want whether you are feeling it or not would be lack of reciprocity with the mob dictating instead of the creator.
