I have seen them myself, and he still have some very ardent followers even with all that is wrong with this character, all that is racked up against him, including his potentially offputting depiction of DID. Crazy to imagine even after all of this controversy, but everybody's got at least a few followers. But I'd say his fanbase has to have shrunk since TDAS and further reflections on his character (Or lack thereof). I would think so, anyway.

Even with all the very real problems with Zoey, I can understand her still having a decent-sized fanbase.

That's very true right there, seeing how they're fans of the personalities, not Mike himself. Technically not one and the same.
