The main reason Caseoh said he doesnt also stream much on tiktok anymore is he makes like 5% of the rev on tiktok livestream vs his youtube content that he said brings 90% of his monthly income so his tiktok followers watch him on his twitch and youtube uploads full stream, He also said he finally got verified so that doesn't happen anymore.

It's sad to see that Digital Circus is supposed to save the Animation industry, yet now it somehow made a lot of crappy content farms for kids that caused brain rot on KZbin.

[@JonathanGaeta]

I feel bad for the creator for all this. TADC is a great show that reminds me a lot of those late 90’s computer games but with a horror mystery plot involved with characters you’re glad you spent time with and see how they’ll develop in each episode. But those content farm creators got their hands on it and made it into something that is unholy and something that TADC isn’t, as the show itself is 100% not for kids. I’m glad the third episode had the horror really horrifying just to scare off those content farms saying this show isn’t for little kids and we mean it.

[@SomeChristianGuy9]

I mean for the normal people who still watch it I still find it really clever especially cause of the cleverness of it

[@zerodiversion4509]

I think TADC isn't one or the other. On one hand, it has proven to be capable of saving the Animation Industry. On the other hand, it is yet another cow for these content farms to milk and slaughter but it isn't the fault of Glitch, Gooseworks, or anyone involved in the show. They made it clear how much they dislike what they've done to their show. It just goes to show that sometimes, this is why we can't have nice things in the world.

This is the sort of change that on paper would make content creators far more cautious about what they upload. Even uploading a bad video counts for the limit.

The saddest part is.... if you have your kids avoid this brainrot content and the kids in their schools watch it all the time. Your kids may end up being ostrized or bullied.

It's cheap, fast and lazy to make. And thus teaches kids every day must be something new. Trust me as a youtube editor... brainrot content makes me go: "how do they keep it up?"

@@kotlolish I absolutely agree. It’s scary that the target is the youth which are OUR FUTURE but maybe that’s the goal? Hinder future generations to make them more susceptible to compliance? I’m not a perfect parent so there are things my kids watched before I’d become familiar with them BUT I’m honest with them about social media. My 12 old understands exceptionally well that what he sees on social media, the interweb, is not real life. It’s not how people behave or speak in real life. So they are *very* self aware for their age and have the empathy that so many kids these days lack. And it’s bc of PARENTS. They allow the screen to teach their kids then wonder why they’re deficient in social skills, empathy, impulse control and critical thought. THEY GOTTA DO BETTER bc, from my POV, we’re headed for a future *just like* the movie “Idiocracy” and it’s scary asl.

Here’s the issue: smaller creators struggle to gain views. We spend hours editing videos, only to receive a fraction of the views we expected. It’s like saying the only way to get big views is to incorporate content from content farms or brain rock, which some KZbinrs refuse to do. Additionally, these videos sometimes contain inappropriate jokes or content in the background.
