Sigh. You know, Orange, with "Annoying" in your name, the bar was already set pretty low. But regardless of how uncreative and unsubstantial your recent content that you've been pumping out is, you've still been able to maintain an audience of ten million subscribers, easily getting 100,000 views each video, making an estimated $14,000 a day. That, on top of lucrative merchandising deals, Halloween costumes, and even a television show on a major network. So forgive me for not being sympathetic towards a "very small studio" with a creator with a net worth of estimated $8,000,000, claiming what they're engaging in is good for small creators, especially when what you're engaging in burns more energy than what most people would burn in a lifetime, greatly damaging the environment. And for what? A few quick bucks and a 4K rendering of a video that most people have forgotten about? Which, by the way, can be downloaded by just inspecting the page and downloading the file? What's most sad about this is what you represent to many people, which is a simpler time in their childhood when creators created just to create. Not for money, not for financial gain, but just because they enjoyed what they did. What you're doing now is not that. As much as you'd like to think so, you're not the small creator you once were. You're a multi-million-dollar franchise, and what you're doing is more damaging than it is good. If you care so much about small creators, you have the platform to change their lives. Give them exposure, instead of using them as a shield to hide your own greed. But I know none of this means anything to you. So keep doing what you're doing. Keep sharing articles to help you feel better about what you're doing. But know at the end of the day, that what you're doing is not the actions of a small creator doing what they do because they love it. It's the actions of a corporation trying to make a quick buck. Go fuck yourself.
