DEFINITELY! I also hate how it seems like the publishers constantly have their thumb on the cancel button: “If you want your favorite series to exist for long enough to get published as a graphic novel, you have to buy the monthlies every month to show us there’s enough demand for the graphic novel.” There have been a lot of stories that I’ve bought over the years that I would have rather just waited and bought the graphic novel, but instead I bought the monthlies so that they’d keep publishing the title and I would (hopefully) get to read the entire story. Once I recognized this pattern, my comics buying went way down. (Then my FLCS moved to a much less convenient location just as the pandemic hit and my buying has dropped to almost nothing.)
