That's a good thing. While you're right about the milking part, you're not about people tuning out. The main audience for the anime is still in Japan, and 99.5% of the guys here read the manga, know how the story ends and are okay with more content until the inevitable closure. I did not hear anything about viewing quotas sinking considerably (or sinking in general) because of the fillers. Those who dropped the series are much more present in countries outside of Japan - mostly guys who watch the anime illegally in the first place, so how should Pierrot be affected negatively by their decision anyway?

That's just the thing: Pierrot can afford bringing out all these fillers. And we just have to deal with it.
