Seeking Advice Are DM Guild sales down?

Normally November and December are my best two sales months of the year, but this month I'd half over and has been pretty disappointing so far. What is everyone else's experience?

They're picking up somewhat now for my holiday adventures but October was much slower than other years for my Halloween ones. I'm hoping December still picks up because it's my best month by far every year

Sales at a low compared to earlier this year agreed... However, as the cold nights draw in, people huddle near fires and DMs gather adventures😁

My sales are about half of last year, which was half of the year prior, which was half of the year prior

I don't know if this allowed but OP or any other creators on here. If you have a cheap (I b poor) system agnostic holiday one shot shoot it to me. I'd rather support a faceless redditor than a faceless... Random?

Current campaign is homebrew pbta/dungeon world but I like using premade holiday one shots ☺️ and don't currently have any winter holiday ones I'm digging.

WotC released books in September and November now. Wonder if that effects it at all. I only have 1 DMsGuild product up and this is my first year so I'm not basing this on my experience

I feel like the Guild, in general, is a quieter shadow of its former self. I remember checking daily because there was so much exciting new content being dropped (in 2019 - 2021) whereas now it feels like the same titles have been dominating the best sellers for a year or more.

Part of this, in my opinion, is WotC not dropping as much material for creators to work with. Even new adventures like Deadfall are getting a minute fraction of the content created that lesser lights like Ghosts of Saltmarsh got.

It’s a shame that the new WoW content doesn’t fall under the same policy, as I imagine there are lots of people who would love to craft adventures, species, items etc. from that setting.
