Ohhh Mann my Buddy Damian had this goal since young to become a TH-camr I’ve watched him grown from the start and He’s doing all this on his own and his journey he spends hours animating yet also doesn’t get Much sleep and does full nighters most of the times, But I’d agree that the Animation Community has changed but I suppose peoples interest in content are viewed differently moving forward on, I as a animator is alotttt of stressed becoming a content creator but as for him I guarantee you he’s doing his best maintaining everything especially due to his popularity.
@@neigetheanimatorI’ve been friends with him for years now since he began his journey, He overall improved alotttt when he first began making videos (but overall for your question the source was from my friendship with him)
@@RazorOfficial1 The videos still feel unbelievably sloppish, this is strickly said in a reapectful manner mind you, nethertheless, it still feels heavily like he hires people for his content, I don't blame him for blowing up, it's also more general in the way that it criticises TH-cam's algorithm for primarily pushing out lower quality videos over months long projects that demanded ALOT Of time and effort.
I totally agree with you. So many animators who put almost zero effort, and who have quite bad animation skills get 10x more subs and views(etc) than people who actually have good animations and put effort. It’s not only PMdamian, there’s tones of other people like him. I’ve watching this channel called dark Serena. I started watching him when he had 30 subs, just in a month he gained all the way to 1000. GUESS WHAT IS CONTENT IS. It’s shorts, he basically just makes knockoffs of people like pmdamian. And his animation skills are beyond horrible! It’s also annoying when I see some random ass beginner post a shitty first time animation, where gun and hands are doing things that I have to bleach my eyes to watch, and they get 10x more views, while I sit with animation I worked on for hours and get like 20 views. Sadly this is just the TH-cam algorithm lol
Also I'll anwser to most comments as long as they are respectful and correctly critical. Also 3:22 to 4:03 is a very dumb take, skip this part if you just genuinely don't feel like me making a fuss out of a bad choice of words he had. If this video gets like 100 likes or smth i'll probably make a video on the PMdamian clones lol
3:14 well said my friend. It is very sad that this is what the newer Generations like Generation Alpha are getting influenced by, and as someone who is from Gen Alpha myself, I must say I am disappointed that the fact these so called 'Animators' are influencing these young and impressionable children to become a more brain rotted group, but the sad thing is that they do this for the money (most likely) and not for the general community, which is why I fear that Gen Beta (the generation after Alpha) is just going to be a whole lot worse. And just one last thing to say is that, this is what children are most likely going to think when they hear "Animation", and also those really bad brookhaven RP video thingies. - Thanks for taking the time to read my comment, have an amazing day.
Wow, i thought you were gen z lol, also, i understand, it's textbook corporate behaviour, milk a community instead of actually bringing something to it, its sad, but as long as you can capitalize on something, people WILL take advantage of it.
@@neigetheanimator I thought I'd leave my opinion on this whole thing, so I thought I would state who I am, matter a fact I have no shame in being Gen Alpha. I just think that the rest of my Gen are getting influenced by the wrong people.
im happy i made a video about a topic that nobody seems to be bringing up, this reminds me of packgod before everybody shat on his lazy scripted content lol
2:08 one more thing id like to mention is that using this video as an example of his content felt like kind of a nitpick because its by far his most popular video and has over 50X more views than his average videos and also has significantly less effort than most of his videos (also on an unrelated note thank you for doing more than just saying "he makes shorts and gets more views than me so he deserves criticism")
I watched the whole video and I’m gonna give my honest opinion one thing I’d like to mention is that you didn’t even bother checking how many views the oof engage intro has I know it’s nothing compared to some of pmdamianns videos but that’s still an insane amount of views for a roblox animation also I think it was a little weird that you just assumed that he has a team rather than just saying he probably has a team i personally doubt he has a team and also on an unrelated note I’ve talked to Damian a few times before and he’s a really nice guy but other than that I mostly agree with what you have to say
So for alot of these I'm wrong, I take accountability, yes, for example, my take on him having a team, I should have mentioned this is alleged as I was unaware at the time he still does most of his work solo, on the point regarding Oof engage, I agree, the viewcount is insane for an animation, then again, PMDamian's content is also Roblox, whilst shorts pander to larger audiences, it doesn't really change the fact that the numbers to the quality ratio of Damian's content is absolutely crazy. Also, I've spoken with Damian, as I have come in contact with him fairly recently and I do agree that he is a very genuine person and I respect him alot for that demeanor that he can retain whilst criticized!
It is sad how the YT algorithm has changed. I get PmDAMIANS view on it because, anything for views, right? If you're making money to put food on the table, it makes sense to make more... because that's what YT is doing. It's not necessarily his fault when there's a huge incentive to making this sort of content. His animation style isn't necessarily bad either given its smooth. It is just what YT incentivizes. I won't say names because it was months ago, rather this is a concern as I was a witness to this. My only concern is that he AND his group goes around dissing other peoples animation style or claiming they are better than everyone else. I don't care what people make or what software they use whether it's blender or roblox studio but they should be respectful and not have an ego on "you should animate like this. only like this." I was a witness because they attacked and lectured this new animator with only 5k subscribers and their reasoning was "they use r15 and it too smooth." Just because you're a bigger youtuber doesn't give them the right to attack peoples new channels. And why have the ego when all they do is YT short memes and why bother an animator that only had like 5k subs. I feel that the animation community has changed a lot. Instead of supporting each other, I see most of the animation community becoming like the art community where they are all trying to one-up each other. I am wondering about anyone take on this, because I also saw his post saying "I can animate better than anyone 50x" or something and his friends also kinda flaunt the same on the blue app. Sorry this is a long paragraph but this video was insightful. Thank you PS. bro I just saw pmdamians and someone arguing in the comments about "Sammies" but sammies is literally in the same niche as them (meme community). whys the same niche/genre fighting fr. Seems like a toxic community if they are all trying to one up each other in youtube shorts and memes
@@neigetheanimator one of my friends sent me a screenshot of ooferguide admitting that he has a f3tish for something i wont say more cause my last reply got deleted
i was genuinely hoping someone said something about him. something that bugged me constantly was his lack of creativity and originality. almost if not all his shorts feel like replicas. i know having the same idea as someone is a common trope for people making short relatable skits, there’s obviously no such thing as a fully original idea, but he’s straight up copying the video from the caption to the overall layout of the original video. i know he credits them half the time but the IB is usually shoved to the bottom of the caption. it boggles me more that he’s like, getting MAJOR attention despite the aforementioned issues. people would crown him as the “king of reliability” and even donate money to him through comments; i’m talking a good $50-100 being donated. i know more than half his fan base is completely clueless of this but it still feels so… weird?
I know I am late to the party for this but I wanna atleast leave my small thoughts here Its just said yknow, that a lot of animators that put genuine effort into their content just gets ignore by the algorithm doesnt get the attention they deserve, I cant even blame damien and other shorts roblox animators for just constantly making short vids. Whatever pays their bills lmao But again, this is more of the youtube algorithm changing over the years
I’ve recently learned moon animator I have been understanding everything and things have been going smoothly but I’ve been having some trouble with jumping and making walking animations that don’t have foot sliding would you please mind giving me some tips, or anything that could help?
coming to a video that has NOTHING to do with the question you're asking is just.. c'mon man.. i have a discord server for a reason, i'm not some holier-then-thou-animation-guru guy..
i honestly don't like those short animators because sometimes some of em can be just annoyin and no effort like a small animation that is pretty talented & shi will only get 100 likes or more when them they get like 100k or more
i mean, his animations are "okay" but 1.43M subscribers though? Dude. I animate better than him, and unlike him, im only 1 person and not a team. And when i saw his post saying "i can make 50x more than you ever will", that got me really pissed off since hes flexing unnecessarily too much at this point. Most of his fans are just kids honestly.. If i just upload my best animation yet, it'll barely get 1K views, while it's 100x better than what he could. *I'm not being jealous but its annoying to see people do the easiest crap and get too much attention..*
I agree, his animations aren't bad, but the fact he gets this much attention and his ego is beyond overinflated is quite a shame, it just shows that youtube only cares about mass produced slop and not actual enjoyable content.
me when i get angry at youtube shorts creator number 68,000 for doing the same thing everyone else is doing 😭 i dont see why you specifically target him when theres multiple other people doing the same thing and people doing it worse
He kind of started it, having his own circlejerk of sorts of similar people, that's why, also because nobody criticizes his type of content. Though I could have easily made this video about croticizing the actual content in general without namedropping, you get more views if you just do something no one else does. No one else criticized him on video.
That's what i put at the bottom in text actually, i tried to clarify that this was quite badly formulated and felt more like a general showing off thing and not a "i'm humble, keep hating idc but don't try doxx me" type anwser
@@CatDreamur yeah, i clarified that that part of the video did sound like a bit of a strech, i was confused on if i should keep it or not, but i guess i kept it in the end
@@CatDreamur how about the fact he unapologetically practically steals content, or does that fall within the same catagory, thus making basically almost every point in the video valid? nethertheless, i just felt like talking about anything that could be remotely relevant to anyone who felt like finding information about his sloppish content
If you actually watch the video, it's talking about how YT algorithm favors that sort of content. Not necessarily PmDamians fault. cause ngl I feel him. if yt was favoring me that much and giving me a lot of money, i'd keep making videos like that. and I don't animate that much and looking at his style, its really not bad in my perspective. i just think he has too much of an ego like average big TH-camrs
Sadly, low effort videos that are trendy and relatable will get more clout than masterpieces like the OOF engage intro.
Could also be because these videos are 10 seconds long MAX and are posted on shorts, since most yt shorts users are kids with the attention span of a 9 year old skibidi toilet watcher.
