>small indie studio >has mass produced merch ready to go before a second episode even premieres
>>156096003uh yes, that's the whole purpose, to make money, cartoons are supposed to make money as toy commercials and such
Someone is always peddling some fucking plushie too no matter who or what it's for.
>>156096003>Kit + Kaboodle>not Kit & Kaboodle
>>156096003How else do you think they fund their projects? YouTube ads?Do people think only big projects sell merchandise? A lot of new shows don't get shit, they don't reallt need it, they get funding from the studio.
>>156096003Ahh taking the Filmation strategy on top of Aussie taxpayers.
>>156096003>small
>>156096115Fuck off, pedo
>>156096134Yes you are. Makes sense you're a fan of a furry cat girl who'd be in the back of the line behind the Tail Concerto girls.
>>156096134Why is this an insult in 2026 again?
>>156096003Nobody cares, compared to the large hollywood studios they're making something watchable
>>156096165Stfu>>156096227Go back, taco
I'm really getting sick and tired of /dbg/ hijacking threads. Who the fuck decided mass flagging their threads was a good idea?
>>156096003>has mass produced merch ready to go before a second episode even premieresbecause they make zero money from youtube ads and otherwise have zero revenue streams?the merch is what pays for everything because youtube can cut off what little money they make from ads at any momentindie studios cant rely on other projects to keep them afloat, they are on a platform that distributes their content for free to anyone with an internet connection so they cant make money off of subscriptions, and they dont host ads or product placement so they cant have their bills paid by hostess fruit piesso that leaves direct merch sales as the their bread and butterwhat precisely do you have a problem with? since this is one of the feasible ways for them to keep a light on while also giving you shows essentially for free on youtbe
>>156096034>>156096065>>156096516I think you guys are missing the forest for the treesThe point is that merchandising this heavily before there's a real foundation is a huge gamble, otherwise the company wasted so much money on shit no one is gonna buy. Sure it helps fund the project but you should really start small before deciding to make a bunch of costly shit to peddle.You'd think with all the 80s and 90s cartoons that had this exact strategy and failed if they weren't Transformers or Ninja Turtles, that people wouldn't make the same mistake but that's greed for ya
>>156096003What if Instead of Kit her name was Nig and instead of going on adventures with a purple dinosaur she went on adventures with a pimp in the hood and eats fried chicken
>>156096003worked for rick and morty.
>>156096615>I think you guys are missing the forest for the treesits just an objective description of the situationglitch makes no money except through merch because this stuff is released for free on youtube>Sure it helps fund the project but you should really start small before deciding to make a bunch of costly shit to peddle.it does not "help" fund the project, it funds the project almost entirely by itself>The point is that merchandising this heavily before there's a real foundation is a huge gamble,launching a show without merchandise is the gamble, because it means the show would have to be so absurdly good that it would cause people to be willing to buy merch of other shows already airing solely by associationwhich is unrealistic compared to just making sure every show they release has some kind of revenue generation to go along with ityour proposal of releasing a show, which can be very expensive, without any guaranteed way to get income back from it until after its already established, which may or may not happen is an order of magnitude more risky
>I HATE MERCHWhy do we have this thread nearly every fucking day? No-one is forcing you to buy merch if you don't want it. Does the existence of every product you don't want to buy annoy you?
>>156096856its usually people who cant afford the merch.
>>156096877Well that's dumb. There are a plenty of things I'd like but can't afford, you either make the money or just accept you can't have it.
>>156096928only just heard about avarice?
I've never seen anyone call Glitch a small indie studio except sarcastically.
>>156097001Rolls Royce are a small aerospace company
>>156096791they put ads on videos you dumbass
>How DARE an animation studio ask for money for products that require money to make and have no other real stable source of funding to make them grrrrr
>>156097168they should make better cartoons so they can sustain themselves on ad revenue like a man
>>156097186Because Youtube's ad revenue is famously generous towards animators or anything related to the medium. Surely they would help sustain this growing studio and multiple projects
im happy for ross even if he only got to be successful because of that one guy. at least he got to pork a semi attractive e-thot
>>156096059Kit & Kaboodle is copyrighted.
>>156097360Of fucking course it is, and by a catfood label no less
>>156097186no one can actually sustain themselves on ad revenue, its literally pennies
what do you call a company that isn't indie, but started that way?
>>156097547a company
>>156096115gb2s4s
>>156097142the ads on youtube are not equivalent to the kinds of ads you got on television, if they were then they wouldnt need to rely so heavily on direct merchandising in the first place
>>156097547A limited liability company?
>>156096615>merchandising this heavily before there's a real foundationAnon, Glitch has existed and used this model for 9 years, what about this is not a real foundation?
>>156097186No one sustains themselves on youtube ad revenue
>>156097186what fucking ad revenue lmao
glitch productions shows (or any “small indie studio” show for that matter) are just products to create an autistic fanbase disguised as a show and nothing more
>>156096034This>>156096615And thisIt'd be interesting to see the numbers but we never will
>>156096003>has mass produced merch ready to go before a second episode even premieresThat's nothing compared to this.Pic related got a video game that launched before the movie did.Anyone who played the game would have also discovered it didn't even match the source material other than using the same characters.They're just products.
>>156096003>"How dare they make money to fund new episodes, new series and keep themselves afloat"
>>156096003GLITCH knows their formula>release new dogshit cartoon>retards don't care that the show is dogshit because it has sexy marketable characters>sell merchBONUS FUN FACT: Kit has the exact same design as she did in her original pitch over a decade ago except her boobs and hips are bigger.
>>156096353There was some guy in the thread having a clitty leak over the thread's image and text being TADC related.
>>156096003>yurithe hype died for me
>>156096003Don’t care what anyone says, I like the look of this figure.
>>156097186Retard
>>156096003Glitch isn't indie, but they make good stuff so who cares?
>>156099480why wouldnt they be indie?
>>156099515Indeez nuts
>>156096003It's just Hasbro 2.0.Boomers obsessed with He-Man cartoons, eat your heart out
>>156096115Actually if you go to the Screen Australia website, you'll find that everything after Murder Drones has not been funded by the taxpayer.https://www.screenaustralia.gov.au/company/glitch-productions-pty-ltd/
>>156096003Glitch is no longer indie
>>156099267>Kit has the exact same design as she did in her original pitch over a decade ago except her boobs and hips are bigger.So they improved her design?
>>156096003>It's not real art unless the artist dies poor and penniless, otherwise it's been corrupted by capitalism. Based and true.
>>156096115Preach, pedo
>>156100317Fag
Imagine if this was an actual NES console.
>>156096003they are milking all the autists glitch is no different than any other corporation
>>156096856Commies hate capitalisim so much and are such envious people that seeing any amount of success makes their heads explode.
It's so funny that the same snobs that use the term "toy commercial" to describe actually good shows from 80s that still hold up are also the ones that make/eat up indie slop merch
>>156097186There isn't any media compay, specially television that sustains itself purely on ads.
>>156099068>le token brown girl (asian) protagonist>alien sidekickomg..... did lilo and stitch predict indie cartoons
>>156100724No, tard
>>156098722And before TADC did you see Murder Drones merch just flying off the shelves?
>>156097142Its 2026, the ad money is nothing. Regular YouTubers needed sponsors
Cum jar kit
>>156100802then explain all the youtubers who vlog themselves in mansions who dont have sponsors
>>156100882Thats from ancient millennial times. YouTube jew'd up afterwards
>>156101410nigga people were making youtube poops and machinimas back thenare you zoomer or just plain retarded
