What are the best YouTube indie animation channels BESIDES Glitch and Vivziepop?

There are no good indie animations. I want television back.

Every other answer is shilling by /co/ standards.

Honestly I think the era of internet animation from the mid aughts to the early tens were a golden age of, what we would now call, "indie" animation. Anyone could just pirate Flash, do something goofy with it, and upload it to Newgrounds or YouTube... until everyone just flocked YouTube because it was more convenient (and believe it or not, better, for a while at least) and then YouTube said
>no no no no, you have to be consistently uploading before we consider you lucrative, THEN we'll promote your work

>>149366555 (OP)
I would tell you but that'd be against Global Rule 11 or something, so I'll just tell you to suck a lemon.

Recommending something isn't the same as deceptively advertising, unless your own project. And even then, nobody would know or care if you just talked about something you made as if it was by someone else... except now that I've said it, someone would definitely suspect it if you did, so...

What about Homestar Runner, the original indie animation.

What a weird question.

>>149370384
>the shitty ones
You mean worse than average, right? Weird value judgement, since they're also the most notable examples of it?

>>149370447
Most notable examples of anything tends to be below average.

>>149370497
That's just naked snobbery.

>>149370547
>This nigga thinks McDonald's has the best burgers in the world

>>149370580
MacDonald's is notable for its convenience and consistency, but will produce negative health effects if overindulged in. Nothing like that is the case with any kind of fictional media, unless it's the only thing you're exposed to with no contact from the outside world. In which case, it doesn't matter what media it is, you're going to come out of that a fucked up case of a person anyway.

We're talking about wether or not the most notable example of something makes it good.
McDonald's is the most well known producers of burgers in the world.
According to >>149370547 saying that McDonald's burgers suck is just snobbery.
Most notable examples of anything is not so because of quality, but because they just so happened to be in the right place at the right time.

>>149370671
>We're talking about wether or not the most notable example of something makes it good.
It certainly means it's doing something right, like MacDonald's being cheap, quick, and consistent. To someone, say, getting off work late and not wanting to make a whole-ass meal when they get home, but having a few spare tens in their wallet, that's a "sure, why not?" Foe a scenario that common, it doesn't need to be a Godsend, it just needs to be a "sure, why not?" Even still, in the realm of entertainment, Glitch and Spindlehorse (Vivzie's production co.) are not anywhere near as ubiquitous enough to be comparable to MacDonald's; you're thinking of companies like Viacom, like Warner, like goddamned Disney.
>they just so happened to be in the right place at the right time
A project that is actual dogshit will go nowhere---no-to-the-where; no-to-the-to-to-the-the-to-the-where---even in "the right place at the right time," unless that right place is YouTube and that right time is twenty-or-so minutes for a YouTuber to make fun of a project that is actual dogshit. Even then, that's probably not going to benefit the original creator any, unless his name is Tommy Wiseau and he has a supernatural knack for failing upwards.

>>149370791
>It certainly means it's doing something right
And that is completely unrelated to the topic at hand.
>Glitch and Spindlehorse (Vivzie's production co.) are not anywhere near as ubiquitous enough to be comparable to MacDonald's
They are when we're talking about indie youtube animation specifically. They are by far the most well known in the field.
>A project that is actual dogshit will go nowhere
No but plenty of below average stuff does.

>>149366747

>>149366555 (OP)
There was a very brief moment when this was starting to become watchable. And then they fired the whole crew and moved right back to incredibly cheap, simple 30 second long content slop. Channel has been unwatchable ever since.

>>149370859

How so?
>we're talking about indie youtube animation specifically
Which is still a completely different realm from something as corporate as MacDonald's. If the specifics were reversed, and we were on /ck/ comparing restaurant chains to media conglomerates---not sure how we'd get there, but just roll with it---this would be like comparing a well-known local restaurant to Disney.
>plenty of below average stuff
Something below average and made independently isn't going to go nearly as far as something below average and supported by a massive corporation, if anywhere at all. Like I said, two different realms, and you're using the logic of the latter to explain what you think is the reason for the success of the former; when maybe the explanation is that these notable indie projects are---on some level, in some way, to someone---good. Maybe not to your taste (and I'm not judging you for that; Hazbin isn't to my taste, either), but perhaps better than "below average," or as you put it earlier, "shitty."

>>149366747
TV is dead, accept it.

>>149371208
>How so?
Because we're talking about the simple quality of a product and not unrelated shit like how great TADC discord group may or may not be.
>>149371208
>Which is still a completely different realm from something as corporate as MacDonald's.
How corporate something is is completely irrelevant when we're simply talking about how well known something is within a specific group.
>this would be like comparing a well-known local restaurant to Disney.
And that would be a fair comparison if we're talking about which local restaurant is the most well known among all of them.
>Something below average and made independently isn't going to go nearly as far as something below average and supported by a massive corporation
It is if we're specifically talking about indie animation. Notice how at no point did we talk about animation as a whole.
We're not comparing Vivzie pop to Disney as animation.
But within indie animation specifically, they are the Disney.
And it's below average for indie animation, despite being the most well known, because unlike what >>149370547 says, popularity is not a mark of quality.

>>149371392
>TADC discord group
... Nigga I was talking about the show itself doing something right.
>popularity is not a mark of quality
I never said it was---that's still me, by the way. On the other hand, something being popular isn't entirely down to luck. Sometimes, shit's just good to a lot of people, even if (You) don't like it. I'm not responding to the rest because, unless I'm retarded (and maybe I am), it comes off as a lot of goalpost shifting. You compared them to one of the most corporate of corporate entities, but then go all, "Well, no, see, in the specifics of this LESS corporate realm---" fuck you, you snob.

>>149371623
>You compared them to one of the most corporate of corporate entities
I compared them to the most popular in a field, which they themselves are.
This entire conversation is about popularity in a field.
How corporate something may or may not be is entirely irrelevant to the discussion, because we're talking pure popularity.
Your most well known local restaurant could be a pure mom n pop run establishment, but it would still be the Disney of local restaurants if we're talking about how well known they are within a grouping.
And they could be absolute ass too, and a still be the Disney of that specific grouping.
No one is moving any goal posts when the entire conversation has always been about popularity vs. quality in a field, be that burgers or indie animation.
TADC is below average, mass produced, commercialized slop.
Is it the absolute bottom of the barrel? No. But there's plenty worse burger joints than McDonald's too.

>>149371897
>TADC is below average, mass produced, commercialized slop.
Is something you'd only say if you never even looked at the upload dates of the episodes---something you can find on Wiki-dick-in-the-ass-pedia. They produce and release episodes months apart, some "mass production" they got goin' on. Or, what, you mean the merch? The one-person writing team?
If this reads like I'm annoyed, I am. I'm not even ride-or-die for TADC, and I haven't seen Hazbin past the pilot, but this whole exchange just comes off as a snob who dismissed something being it was popular and came up with every reason to justify it. Taking this all as good-faith as I possibly can, I'd say this just comes down to a difference in philosophy and we might as well be a Muslim and a Hindu talking about the Afterlife.

>>149372126
>It takes them months between episodes
>This means it isn't mass produced
Fucking lol. A couple of months is fucking nothing.

>>149372223
Not for something anyone would call "mass produced." The fuck do you even mean by that if you don't mean "making the whole batch at once"?
