They didn't make Yugioh abridged and Hellsing is far more entertaining anyways.

Writing, voicing and editing is a lot of work and stressful.

Doesn't mean they aren't allowed to continue making content about a series they like. Content that isn't near as stressful or time consuming.

They are not in an enviable position. They're burnt out on the content that got them famous and their fans want to see, but it's morally and legally dubious to profit from that content.

Every time they try something different it's met with indifference and questions of where's abridged.

I don't know what I would do in their shoes.

Because nothing they've made holds a candle to abridged they're genuinely not entertaining or creative on their own. They were a one trick pony that shot the pony they rode on.

Sounds like you're reaching for a point that isn't there. I hadn't kept up for a couple years and recently watched the video of them quitting.

Dbz was clearly part of it being surrounded by one thing constantly would aide in that. They even mention that in the video and say they want to do non dbz things.

They dont get spammed with copyright takedowns for the other stuff.

Also its probably less work doing Devil Artemis Collabs, lets plays and such.

Speaking as an outsider, it kinda seemed like they slowly ramped up the production value to such a degree that individual episodes would take months, compared to the earlier episodes that had noticeably lower quality, but were still entertaining. They probably felt a need to make their episodes as pristine as possible, which would inevitably lead to burnout, considering their videos were constantly threatened to be taken down (like poor Totally Not Mark).

There's a difference between doing little things with the characters and motifs with which you're familiar and continuing to do the entirety of it.

Like, they quit building highrises but they still can use hammers.

Especially when your content is a compliment to the source material, and not a competitor. If anything, DBZA would create new fans (and customers) of DBZ, leading to more income for the company.

It was partly of their own making, but there are definite outside factors you can see that lead to that decision. If they dialed back on the quality to like LK level, it'd still be funny, but that also limits creative freedom and people would have bitched. Their 3D animations are still a little wonky, but you can see it at least allows them to do what they want without facing their channel being fucked over.

Their other DBZ content is "original" enough to not get hit

Yeah, that was the biggest problem with the series and their FFVII series, they stopped treating them as parodies and they just became bland fansubs, dbza Freeza saga is comedy gold though.

2 things

1. DBZ content is their bread and butter. Nothing else makes as much money

2. There's a difference between doing the buu Saga and movies when you're burnt/can't think of anything funny .
vs

Doing original content you're actually excited about using DBZ characters

look at HFIL. Whether you like the show or not you can tell they loved making it

Vs the Cell abridged saga were they were clearly making it on sufferance and it became full of sex jokes

Resignation
On Jan 18, 2019: TFS released an update video entitled "DBZA: What's Next? | TFS Update". In it, they mention that due to 'inconsolable differences', Ben left TFS.

Takahata101 explained on a reddit response that Ben wanted to do some more serious things that "doesn't need the guise of a colorful 80s cartoon for it's audience" as he stated on his own stream. He wanted to do articles and "lecture" type things that tackle subject like grief, cheating, family structure, and the like. Takahata felt that as a comedic entertainment company, said content didn't really fit with TeamFourStar. [3]
When asked on Twitter, Ben said "there were no hard feelings" and that he wishes success for Nick, Scott, and TFS.
