You don't land on a bestsellers list on the backs of a disinterested or disillusioned fanbase. There are a lot of people still enjoying the storyline.

When the Uprising arc came out people said "Oh, the series went downhill after that" and then other people said "Return to Shiganshina is my favorite arc!" Both statements can't be true. What they are, are true for different people.

I thought the basement reveal was fantastic when I first read it, because I figured that humanity outside the Walls was living in remote villages and towns where the Titans couldn't get to them. I was picturing fragments of a civilization, not a thriving one.

Obviously we disagree on what we find enjoyable, but you post as though your POV is the only sensible conclusion and seems to ignore that there are a lot of people who love the upcoming content. Should the series continue into Season 4 within a year or two, I think the viewership drop off from S3 to S4 will actually be less than from S1 to S2 (which had to deal with a four year gap).

I've already seen a handful of people in my social circle drop the anime once they had the basement reveal onward spoiled for them. It's not the masterpiece people think it is, and the anime really isn't going to get much better after this.
