There are DEFINITELY enough artists and animators out there to sustain a happy and healthy business providing specialty products and software to people within that community. What there isn’t, is a large enough consumer base to make the line go up forever for shareholders

This is why every company that makes specialized tools for particular communities starts to fall apart when they set their sights on increasing shareholder value, because that always means “find a way to make this product with specific utility appealing to people outside of that community”

They don’t care if the niche community that needs the product gets left out in the cold because the goal isn’t to provide them with the tool they need, it’s to convince a lot of other people outside that community that they need it and then cut and run when the numbers stop going up

So that’s just a reminder that your outrage isn’t futile, it actually affects their bottom line.

So tell all your friends. Make some memes. Stay fuckin pissed. (3)
