While I do think that a lot of corpo models have really bad rigging I personally prefer a stiff rig to one thats all bouncy and all over the place. For example Flayons hair is way too floaty IMO.
I find that big indie models suffer from feature creep, if your model is going to be seen from the bust up 90% of the time spending 10K on a model with an absurd amount of detail that won't be seen is frankly stupid. I saw a pre-debut on my feed once that was bragging that her model had "over 800" layers.
It's become like a pissing contest for indies to have the most flashy model with the craziest rigging when at the end of the day, your personality and content is what determines if you will succeed or not.
