Why does renewcommand{dagger}{*} not apply to thanks?
I know that I can adjust my thanks symbols by overriding fnsymbols as described here: Customizing the symbol next to the author's name in a document
But it seems to me that just re-defining the dagger should also work:
documentclass{article}
renewcommand{dagger}{*}
title{Test}
author{Author 1thanks{Thanks 1} and Author 2thanks{I-should-be-next-to-an-asterisk}}
begin{document}
maketitle
Here the dagger is replaced correctly: $dagger$
end{document}
Which correctly replaces the dagger with an asterisk in the main text, but not in the title:
What does wrong here? I tried moving the renewcommand up or down, to now avail.

The default footnote symbol uses textdagger not dagger. As your example shows, dagger is a math mode command.

How did you find that out? The definition in tex.stackexchange.com/questions/455140/… suggests that it's dagger, not textdagger.

From the command line (> represents the prompt) you can issue
> latexdef -s fnsymbol
% latex.ltx, line 2234:
deffnsymbol#1{expandafter@fnsymbolcsname c@#1endcsname}
OK, we need to know what @fnsymbol does:
> latexdef -s @fnsymbol
% latex.ltx, line 2254:
def@fnsymbol#1{%
ifcase#1or TextOrMathtextasteriskcentered *or
TextOrMath textdagger daggeror
TextOrMath textdaggerdbl ddagger or
TextOrMath textsection mathsectionor
TextOrMath textparagraph mathparagraphor
TextOrMath textbardbl |or
TextOrMath {textasteriskcenteredtextasteriskcentered}{**}or
TextOrMath {textdaggertextdagger}{daggerdagger}or
TextOrMath {textdaggerdbltextdaggerdbl}{ddaggerddagger}else
@ctrerr fi
}%
This means that if fnsymbol appears in text mode, it associates textdagger for the number 2.
For the specific application you might consider to redefine @fnsymbol, so as not to redefine textdagger.
