because I've seen this again: I think it's entirely possible that, for a small group of people, the fact that there is not a fan art reel is why they are less connected to the story of C3, but setting aside this is not remotely my experience, there have always been fans who kept up or binged the show via the podcast or VOD and skipped the art reel. Even when I watched C2 live I mostly tuned in only a few minutes in advance and barely paid attention to the art reel. Also like. Novels have been around a really long time. Oral traditions of storytelling have been around longer. Even the first radio drama was over a century ago. The ability to find hundreds of pieces of fan art and fanfiction without getting out of bed is less than 30 years old. I feel like saying "Skill Issue" undersells how much of a problem not having a visual component to a fictional work - let alone not having fan art spoonfed directly to you instead of you having to go to the official fan art gallery or following a tag - isn't. For basically everyone else on earth.
