I've noticed it too, I don't watch most of the cartoons on television (with a FEW exceptions) because they're too kiddie or made by some big name comic company. Its also sad that the majority of animators can't live off what they make here despite the fact that they're stuff rivals what is on TV (your stuff for example) and that they put their whole beings into these projects but aren't recognized.

I wanna change that though, I want to reach the end of the road of being a flash animator, and when I get there, I'll build another road for everyone else here to continue on so we all can be great together. The 3 obstacles though are
1 Money (of course) 2 Finding others to help me (non-animators that is) and
3 I have to depend on those who I'm trying to help that they'll make the right decisions.
Even if I become the richest man alive and get the best people for the jobs in mind it'll all fall apart if everyone here can't keep it together.

I'm not going to say what it is though until the time comes of course :3! I want it to be a surprise for everyone when the time comes.
Argh! I shouldn't be here posting I gotta work on becoming an animator first! O_0
Hope to see you then. :)

Maybe you should make the story for Devil Slayer a little more easier to follow, I semi-recently just watched all of them and the story was all over the place. And maybe you should invest in that. Make a cute little website where you could bid on indie cartoons, it sounds like a profitable investment. And I've recently started to watch more flash movies then I do play flash games but that's probably because of there only being a flash game I love once every month. I'm getting to lazy to play some of these games nowadays.

Actually I agree with Onizero, why don't you do it? After all the second you say "Why isn't there *whatever it is*" That's your idea that you can use and develop all for your own. Try to find ways in which you can make a bidding site for flash, everything is possible.

First off...you should be in bed mister. I'm calling your house in ten minutes simply to be an asshole.

You're definitely not the only one who would rather watch Flash than TV. There are many more flash movies and series that are better than some things on TV right now. However that being said, the majority of the money in animation is on TV and in the theatres, so that's what people invest in and try to go to.

You made a good point, that internet is great for making a name for yourself and getting a portfolio out there, and that's probably the way it will stay. A bidding site for flash animations, that probably could make some money for somebody. However, I look at it as a long term vs a short term investment. Games are a long term investment because you can replay them and get a slightly different experience each time. Toss The Turtle was effectively the same action every time you shot your little reptile to oblivion, but it was still fun to see how high, how far, and how many times you could cause bodily harm. Flash movies are usually one watch and done. Even though I LOVE some movies here on Newgrounds and outside of the internet, I dont' want to spend the time watching it over and over again when there usually isn't something big to gain from it. There are exceptions to this rule of course...for some reason Leo & Satan never gets old, but those are exceptions, not the rule.
For this reason, I think bidding on flash animations is not a huge market, but one that deserves thought from somebody with money to spare.

This is the weird nature of the internet. So much free content for the user, but not a lot of pay-off for the creator.

Okay I was purposely being vague on those 2 paragraphs because I sorta get paranoid about who and how I share my ideas but... aroused?O_0
