Hey guys, I just want to say I really appreciated your work on Manly. It felt somewhat refreshing, maybe due to its visceral violence... while still feeling somewhat familiar, mainly due to the buddy comedy set up and obvious influences from your previous work. My question is about the animation industry as a whole. I have only been working in the industry since the early 2000's so I don't really know what things were like before then, but I have noticed, in the last few years especially, an absolute flood of great content and creators to sites like youtube. This is due to obvious facts such as being able to easily animate for little money on a home computer now. So my question is this, do you think there is a chance of the online animation sphere becoming over saturated? I am personally starting to feel that while this indeed could be another golden age of animation and creativity, the ease in which things can now be created has led to a massive influx in content of varying quality, and with most young people learning by example, a lot of it is starting to feel the same in terms of content and style. Could too much of a good thing actually burn out audiences or make it even harder for new people to be discovered on top of the problems such as Youtubes CPM model?
