before I also wanted to work as an animator on an animated series, for years I began to study everything I could about animation and art, but as time went by seeing the path that many animation companies began to take, I began to doubt if it was a good idea to continue with this and even more so when you find out the stories of several authors from various animated series.
just reviewing the animators that Nickelodeon had from the 80s to 2010 makes you wonder if the studio was a place to work or if it was the refuge of many depraved and mentally ill people
CN and Disney have the same problem apart from the fact that they have a standard that they expect all projects to follow, if a series fails to generate the same profits as Teen Titans Go or if it does not become Frozen 2.0, they are canceled immediately.
apart from the fact that there is the problem of rights, when you agree to do a series with them, what you do is give up all the rights you had over that work, so if something doesn't go the way they want, they can cancel everything you had. you had planned or on the contrary, they will prevent you from giving a dignified end to something you were doing to lengthen it as much as possible.
even Japanese artists have problems surviving because of how the studios are in a system where the animators are up to the end of priorities in a production, they receive the crumbs of the money that is given for a production because everything else goes only to the voice actors and marketing.
I would even say that the golden age where one could work as an animator on YouTube has disappeared since 2015, because before that date, one watched animations of all kinds and in which one paid the creators if it was good, but with the passage of time, YouTube stopped supporting users who made x content to support what its advertisers asked of it.
apart from the fact that I am starting to feel that YouTube is starting to feel the same as TV in the last few days that I watched it, instead of looking for something that interests you, now the page insists that you watch x video even when you are looking for something else. something, even when I check the page using IPs from various countries, I notice that the page is giving more and more priority to television channels than to users, so they are going back to the past like again
if I'm honest, I don't know how NOSTR will change the paradigm in content creation, both for directors, authors and animators in the coming decades, because here, in addition to having control of an account that is not so easy to delete, having several payment options in which you should not depend on just one, there is also the option of being able to clone a multimedia file in several places, making it more difficult to delete
one also has the option of controlling the algorithms of several clients so something that seems viral on a page, another simply will not see it because they are using something that perhaps does not even have a search algorithm.
