whenever these things show up i watch the first few, get bored and skip to the end and never think about any of the people who spent days making free content for someone else's channel.

>free advertising
For what? Do you really think anyone is going to look at a single 6s clip in a video with hundreds and expend the minimal effort of looking you up?
It's just not gonna happen. Get out of your dreamworld. ADHD scrollbrain zoomers pat themselves on the back for sitting through a 5 min video, they're not going to bother looking you up, even if the link is right there.
Not to mention most people won't give a shit when it's placed next to pop-culture shit that's not even halfway good as yours because it doesn't have bing-bing-wahoo characters in it for them to identify with.
And of course, lastly, most of the people watching these are most likely other 3d artists. The people that aren't going to go out and ask ANOTHER 3d artist to do a job for them, and studios won't be wasting their time paying their employees to do something for free like this, so they're not going to be hiring you for something they've seen here.
It really is just the dude grifting for ad revenue and free content from others.
Other dude said it perfectly, it's only "free advertising" for the dude's channel.

That's a lot of words anon. Take it easy. You don't have to participate or get personally offended. Other animators aren't as buttbothered but I guess they haven't taken the cynical death pill yet.

Don't tell me what to do faggot.
All I'm really saying is that no one cares about your work in it, so why fucking bother? You're not advertising yourself. It's just to line the faggot's pocket and you bought it hook line and sinker.
>You don't have to participate or get personally offended
I'm personally offended that these shitty threads pop up advertising this grifter every time a "challenge" of his pops up. Retards a-fucking-bound.

What's the actual return on investment in terms of new followers/art directors in your inbox if you participate? Are the artists all students or hobbyists or does it legitimately help drive business for serious professionals? A breakdown of returning artists vs new faces would give a clue.

You're an outlier, not the norm.
Most people watching are there for the quick rush of dopamine while doomscrolling.

Of all the challenges so far, I think this is his best one. Alternate Realities being a close second.

It's not that things like these are technically impressive in some way. It's just that they say nothing to me. The colors and the atmospheres are unpleasant. There's too much useless detail, too much useless motion.
It's modern art. Very "global", entirely soul-less.

At the end of >>942408 for example there's a derelict environment which obviously represents the artist's bedroom after he hadn't left for months to complete his animation. And the little girl which obviously represent the artist inner desire to have been born a little girl as well.
