Everything is Trash

This article by Charles Kenny was about how Disposable Animation is more prevalent than ever. In case you didn't know, disposable is something that's really only meant to be used once and then never again. In most cases, in a novelty fashion.  Disposable Animation has always existed sense the very beginning. Like any form of anything, if someone can make a quick buck on something, some guy will exploit it. Like any other form of media Animation was bound to have this happen to it. A good example of something like this would be Van Buren or Hanna-Barbara cartoons. Cheaply made cartoons that don't look spectacular, but never the less come out much more frequently than well written big budget animations. And more frequently, means money coming in faster. But on the opposite end of the spectrum there is the animation giant himself Walt Disney. Disney wanted to create projects that take time but remain timeless throughout the decades, for multiple generations of people to enjoy. And while he was extremely successful at it, most people can't dream to be as successful as he was. Which is why fast made content is still being made today. Which brings us to now, the 21st century. The age of online content. The author of this article makes a point that the same quickly produce content is being made today on this new format, for the same reasons. And after all these years we still have people making content that's entertaining now, but probably won't stand the test of time. Charles finishes by saying that you really won't find anything truly spectacular on the internet, because people need to make money and that's how most of them will accomplish that.
While I agree that this point is as important now than ever, I have a big problem with this article. And that's how the author believes there's nothing worth while on the internet, and that its all just cheaply produce garbage compared to someone like Walt Disney, Some of the best Animation I have ever seen has come from the internet. And let's keep in mind that Walt Disney had a whole team of Animators so he could get his big movies done. And it's not like online outlets are making it any easier. YouTube's revenue system now goes by "Minutes Watched" while it used to go by "Amount of Views". This is horrible for Animators online because most people on the internet have very short attention spans. And also most big budget stuff get's more views than fast produced animations. Meaning it's much harder for them to get money. But i'd just like to say as a final point that all Animation should be respected no matter if it's cheaply made or not. Although cheaply made people still talk about TV shows like The Simpsons or Spongebob, which is vastly faster and cheaper to make than a huge Animation movie.
In the end, art is art. It should be respected for it's quality, not the means of which it took to make it.
