CARTOON NETWORK IS BASICALLY GONE?! 

The Trick is that the CEO only needs to make the _next quarter_ look more profitable. The overall viability of the company is irrelevant because you want to invest today's investers, not tomorrow's. Tomorrow's investors are the fools the current investors sell their shares to.

So never invest in anything in life? Got it.

And the corporations wonder why so many animators are going indie nowadays.

@@kawaiicrossing5047 I don't think they do. I think they're in a position of choosing to please the shareholders or the animators, and our system is designed that the people put in charge of public companies are *supposed* to always choose the shareholders.

tbh the american industry is pathetic. The companies are ALWAYS whining about how it's too hard and too expensive to do their one job that made them rich in the first place, while random hobbyists outdo them in every way. Sometimes the people running those companies even have the nerve to blame America's high quality of life for how "expensive" it is. I'd like to see one of those people try to explain France.

And then spongebob gets angry and acts like it’s his burger when it gets cancelled. That’s a more accurate representation of this situation.

Greed isn’t just from studios. It’s in the art software the workers use and bills for keeping the lights on for the buildings. Good animation software is 700 to 1000. Again if you had an studio and just keeps the only the lights and electric ⚡️ on it’s going to run up to 600 to 700 per month and plus you have pay your workers and update your software. Isn’t cheap.

That last sentence in particular feels the most poignant, infinite growth is impossible as there can only be so many customers

Literally this… This is cold. Hard. Facts. Executives need to wake up and realize their income isn’t as omnipotent as they think it is.

It's the American way of business. Take out massive amounts of debt to get investors and grow ridiculously fast in the short term, enjoy the success, and then hope that by the time something goes wrong, you've already left the company and it'll be some other sap's problem. It's gambling with extra steps.

Well honestly the merger should have never happened. Anti trust needs to come back harder. The Biden administration is trying, but it's not looking good for the next election.

Honestly, it's become so damn stagnant because of it. I clung onto DC and by extension Warner just because they were still fostering new ideas, but now they've closed off any source of creativity for the sake of mitigating risk.

@@trika91 Well if WB just hates all of their IPs except for Velma for whatever reason, why don't they just sell them?

Yep! Most notably, concept artists are receiving the largest boot! The only good news is that when that company replaced a concept artist with AI, the whole project crumbles, because think about it, the point of concept art is to figure out the elements of a game, be it a vehicle, a map, or a whole scene. You're working directly with the artist to flesh out the idea into something you can work with. Now try to do that with AI, how TF can you take an image shat out by something that can't even describe what it made?

@@cubechan1938 It will never be gone

Yes what is happening to the gaming community is exactly what's happening to the animation right now. But that can be very bad as most TV packages and all that are hosted on well TV and it means that there's not going to be any more interesting TV shows. You just really going to have to go to a streaming service which may not work all the time. Or you may not have enough money. RU-vid is your best bet if you want to watch any sort of animation that is if they show their episodes for free. It also means that people who develop in the animation have to get a lot of support because they don't have super big teams that can work on a bunch of animations at once. It's not impossible but it definitely makes everything harder.

I'm starting to question if that is even possible anymore with how bad things are getting
