I also want to jerk newgrounds. Unlike youtube, it actually promoted new content authors and filtered in tiers. "Under judgement", "best of the day", "the week", "front page", "all time" etc. It was meritocratic and gave a lot of artists an opportunity to build an audience. A hell of a lot more functional than reddit ever was.
How is it even possible to discover new animators on youtube? It just force feeds you ads and algorithmic garbage. Such a worthless website.
