To be fair, I think what people don’t realise when it comes to deals like this is that the entertainment industry is a mess right now. Sometimes to make a living you have to make deals with evil corporations and at the very least here it’s not to take over glitch entirely.

Like I remember Zeurel of Monkey Wrench fame saying a single episode of the show NEEDED 100M+ views to successfully earn back its budget, hence the really iffy pay rates for animators on the show.

i do remember that. and i donated as much as i could in that moment. but seriously, do you think i’m saying that glitch taking bigger steps is a bad thing?

these comments are made cause i want them to succeed, and i want to support people who support people. does that make sense?

It might just be my autism but it really comes off as if you’re trying to shame glitch here for taking deals they actively need to run a business with. I get your point and I hate Amazon too but these replies really do not come off supportive whatsoever

that wasn’t really what i was going for but i will say my qrt has a bit more of my scorn showing than my replies under the post

it could have the potential to be shameful, though. with the audience they have, taking money from a corp that doesn’t like the audience might bring them shame

Well it sucks but either way that’s what’s happening. YouTube is ran by an Israel supporting company and their merch store is powered by shopify via Juniper. Them signing onto Amazon Prime just won’t change that

pup-clover.bsky.social•3 days ago

you know you can do that AND say you, as a company, are against the actions of the corp you take money from

how is that a big ask? it’s an announcement, just like the one they just made. one image, pin it for a while and they’d be done

gamesliek.bsky.social•3 days ago

I never said that was a big ask? In fact I’d love for glitch to do that too

I just think it’s reasonable to take the deals when indie animation is an incredibly unstable scene at the momen

pup-clover.bsky.social•3 days ago

well my whole thing has been “they can take the money but why would they do it without saying these things”

so why comment if you don’t think it’s a big ask?

Because I thought it was an interesting conversation to have? I’m honest to god not trying to argue here, I’m literally just bringing up a point in glitch’s favour
