How Youtube's New Changes Affect Independent Animators

[Shulk 8,623]

 

From RubberNinja on Youtube. I feel really bad for animators on Youtube. For those who don't want to watch the video, Youtube is basically paying based on the amounts of minutes viewed and the frequency of uploads. Unless you upload 10 minute long videos on a regular basis, you're not going to get much money through Youtube anymore. This really sucks for animators who can't afford to do that, and make their living through Youtube.

Oh for firetruck sake YouTube! Stop it! Your changes always bring negativity. Rage, confusion, misery, sadness and just plain pain!

 

It's all Google's fault! Imma go cry in a corner now...*Goes to Corner*

Youtube is all around bullshit.

I'd say this is worse. This is actually affecting people's lives. That's much worse than a couple videos being pulled off of Youtube.

Fool. Unfortunately, a lot of people who put minimal efforts into making their  long videos will be paid the most, while very talented people won't be getting as much.

In other words, lets players.

It's pretty firetrucking sad how pewdiepie has more fame than people who are good at making videos.

There are actually some good LP channels, who actually put work into their videos. However, a lot that get attention really don't deserve it.

Well channels like that sometimes have some editing(like GG), but it's not just a whole lot. While their videos are entertaining, it's not very fair that they get a ton more attention than animators or people who make short films. OneyNG released a video saying that he could only do storyboard-esque animations now because youtube was basically robbing him.

[Hargleblargleboo 979]

Well, damn. I guess I'll have to make my animations longer then...It's gonna be a pain in the butt, though. ESPECIALLY if you work independently.

Oh, also, It sucks not being able to make a living doing what we love...

I agree it's unfair that animators aren't getting the attention, but that doesn't mean we should ignore the people who do good gameplay-related videos, either. I definitely feel bad for animators, though. Speaking of Oney, his video is what led me to Ross'.

Speaking of Oney, he confirmed more hellbenders.

My life will soon be complete.
