To really understand appeal, you have to think like an average person or to look at what's popular and emulate that. People like familiarity or parodies of stuff they like. OP's lies in familiarity. Mind you none of this appeal stuff is really skill dependent, it helps but it doesn't guarantee immediate success. Think of it like this. Look at Bill Gates. That man was a genius because he managed to get billions of retards to buy his foolproof hardware.
Look at One Piece, Oda has had that running for 2+ decades and mouthbreathers still eat up that repetitive drivel to this day.
A successful creator knows how to exploit the masses.
People like simplicity and familiarity so find some way to play into that.

High follower base =/= Profitable career. There are people in the 100k range barely hitting minimum wage, and people not even in the 50k range making a living. It's ultimately about how and where you market yourself and what type of projects you're working on. People are likely to be invested and show support in something like a comic, an animation or a game. ESPECIALLY games, that market is flowing in dough. Obviously having a lot of followers increases your chances at support but it doesn't mean that you can't kick start or make it at a smaller level.
