internet addicts find the negatives in everything they consume they can't help it - it's a well worn groove. No matter what that person is going to be upset about something.

Not sure if Jeff Gerstmann's six-hour+ episode of "Ranking the NES" featuring every Action 52 game got posted, but lemme just timestamp to this moment from his perfect, beautiful mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEeS-Pxc6VY&t=6386s (1h46m26s if the timestamp messes up)

animation is extremely difficult and time consuming, and antithetical to the YouTube algorithm. short, infrequent videos will get you nowhere on a site that prioritizes watch hours and average watch time professionalism has nothing to do with it. those animated pilots you see are all done by teams of dozens of people over a span of many months in the hopes that maybe it will hit big and get them enough Patreon funds to do a second episode, which will inevitably perform a lot worse on YouTube than the pilot did same with ‘story time YouTube’ channels. Jaiden’s videos are done by a team of a dozen people, ilymation’s by a team of around 7-8. gingerpale’s videos are now animated by a third party studio The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 18:54 on May 10, 2024 |

Yeah, I follow a few animators on YouTube and their output is on the scale of 20-90 second clips released every 8 months or so. It's hard to overstate just how stupidly work-intensive even "bad" or minimalistic animation is.

weird timing because this just popped up on twitter. ross o donovan took advantage of a sponsorship deal to pay a bunch of animators $1200 each to animate in gartic phone. 20 drawings by each animator. if i could pay rent for a month by just doing a 20 drawing animation i'd obv do that haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TgPzy7Qk9w

Like, even when it comes to repeating talking about TV shows, movies, video games. etc. every clip it never felt like he actually interacted with the media itself by watching or playing it. Genuinely don't understand how he spends his free time besides scrolling social media feeds aka the purest form of mental torture available on the market today.

Pigbuster posted:yeah like, most of that post is on the money but animators are absolutely not uploading storyboard-only videos for some kind of stylistic clout, it's because they don't want to spend a month animating a shitpost Fair enough. I know that animation takes a lot of effort and time for even a few seconds of footage. I meant that more as being more aligned with the Jon Bois style videos that use Blender and keep a certain level of "jank" in the final product seemingly on purpose (I mean stuff like screen recording an animation playback so that the UI and cursors are still in the shot), but yeah I was wrong with applying that to posting animatics over polished animation as a signifier as opposed to "that's all this shitpost deserves". There are some channels I follow that have used some kinds of jank as a style. Like FUNKe edits his videos on like 4s or more for a really choppy style, while still clearly doing cleaner animations that's he's chopping up for the look. Though I guess it's hard to really draw a line between "doing this for a style reasons" and "doing this because animation takes a ton of time and this is easier". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs8XDWAuvEg

Bravest of the Lamps engaged in serial off-site harassment in addition to on-forums misconduct. Fishmech had an obsessive archive of old posts that, probably incidentally, included old goon homegrown pornography from the past 20 years.
