DBZA is a parody, not an alternate dub. Technically speaking it falls under fair use, and they don't even profit off of it in the first place.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

They commented on the Youtube video that they're going to continue working on DBZA, so it's not cancelled. They just don't know when they'll be able to release the next one, for reasons they've requested we not speculate on.

Does anyone actually read these?

And a bit more...

Yep, there is also the fact of You Tube enforcing Youtuber culture and long videos devoid of content being favoured over short witty ones.

The average Youtuber video will forever be inferior to the average sketch short, in my opinion.

10 minutes of doing something that would take 5, with more focus on who is doing it than in what is being done.

They are a tad more common in Spain and Latin America, however.

Why would Youtube punish shorter videos? If anything, I would think that it would prefer those.

YouTube's algorithm prioritizes watch minutes, how many minutes of a video is watched, over everything else when it comes to determining what pops up in recommendations (among other things). Because of this, channels that can produce longer videos daily and can get their audience to watch the entire video (or at least most of it) are more likely to pop up in recommendations over shorter videos or channels which produce videos weekly. Of course, that's just for one video. If you want your entire channel to become more visible, producing multiple 7-10 minute videos per week works far better than one 15-20 minute video per week.

If you want to learn more about how the algorithm currently works, MatPat of Game Theory has done a couple of videos on the subject seeing as how he and his wife also work as consultants for hundreds of channels on how to better grow. Even major companies like LEGO (I do believe) have approached them and even YouTube employees have commented that they know the algorithm better than anyone outside of YouTube.

[up] The algorithm is particularly hard on web animators. Making an animation that's just a couple minutes of long means drawing thousands upon thousands of frames. It's just too much work for too little return.

If you ever wonder why Harry Partridge only releases something new once an eon nowadays, that's probably why.

Yeah, I'm subscribed to a channel called Hyun's Dojo which specializes in bringing together smaller Youtube animators for big collaboration events where they all contribute a short clip of animation to a larger project centered around a theme and it's only staying afloat because of the sheer number of people contributing to them, which makes the videos longer.

Alright, since TFS is in the middle of some Post-Goku Exhaustion and it's been at least half a season since the last time somebody asked this, open question: Whose got the funniest dynamic in this show?

  • Goku and Vegeta?
  • Goku and Gohan?
  • Goku and Chi-Chi?
  • Vegeta and Nappa?
  • Vegeta and Trunks?
  • Vegeta and Tien?
  • Frieza and Zarbon?
  • Frieza and Ginyu?
  • Hercule and Jimmy Firecracker?
  • Piccolo, Nail, and Kami?
  • Roshi and Krillin?
  • Tien and Yamcha?
  • etc

Goku and Vegeta amuses me endlessly solely for Goku's inexhaustible assertion that he and Vegeta are best friends.

I've been really enjoying Yamcha/Cell too. It's a really fun twist on Yamcha's relationships with everyone else. I have to say that Cell's interactions with basically everyone have been really fun individually, from his open annoyance at Tenshinhan's continued existence, to his friendly and amicable relationship with Goku, to how he takes every possible opportunity to break down Vegeta's ego.

My favorite dynamic was probably Goku an Freeza, though admittedly what makes it so funny is putting it in context with Freeza's dynamic with everyone else.

to how he takes every possible opportunity to break down Vegeta's ego.

To be fair, that's canon. tongue
