Okay see, this thread from @radrappy.bsky.social is exactly what I mean when I say the old models are dead and new ones will have to be made whether we like it or not.

TV animation used to bring a lot of ad based revenue on linear cable, especially with kids. But after the switch to streaming TV animation has struggled to prove it can drive subscribers or generate ads dollars. Simply put - the medium lost all of its value over the past decade Feature animation on the other hand can still have an 100m boxoffice and then sell licensing rights to a streamer for another 10-20m. There is no such path for tv animation - these shows are essentially making 0 dollars but cost 15m a season. You can see why studios stopped also this issue is not exclusive to TV animation, all tv has grappled with the loss of linear ads but live action shows are bouncing back on streaming now that ads are there. Animated TV shows are not. At least not in a way that would encourage making lots morebeing cheaper would help but not solve the problem of lack of revenue. This is something collectively only big youtube indies have solved (selling merch). We need an actual business model that is sustainable

I feel like instead of just thoughtlessly telling every struggling artist to go indie, or even shooting such advice down, there really needs to be more of a convo about how indie's current strides can be used to help build a new, sustainable industry. I'm talking platforms, grants, investors, et al.
