There's a fan animator on YouTube who did some awful things.
The secret?
I saved some of their videos to my computer to watch them without giving them views, and I know there's people who would hate me for that.

Is this about that one Warrior Cats animator?

OP

(Anonymous) 2020-04-24 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's that Warriors animator.

For those not in the loop, there's a fan animator on Youtube called Draikinator, and a lot of their content is Warriors content. They did some stuff I won't get into here (think abusive and illegal behaviour), and there's a lot of people who don't like them and want them out of the fandom.

This means that I can't easily talk about still enjoying some of their work, even if a lot of it was multi animator projects that were made in collab with multiple (innocent) fan animators.

Well, it sounds like a better solution than giving them views...

(Anonymous) 2020-04-23 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, I think that would be too much of a hassle for me, I admire it honestly.

(Anonymous) 2020-04-24 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
There's no problem with that. You're not supporting the person who made them, you've actually gone out of your way not to do just that, there's no harm in enjoying something you find enjoyable. It's sucks they're people out there who will have a problem with that.

What if you use Adblock? Do they still benefit then?
venusundae: taeyeon and sunny aka danshin duo sit and chill (157 (these precious tiny minutes))

[personal profile] venusundae 2020-04-24 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
yea, because upping their view count (along w other engagement like comments, likes, etc) increases how much youtube promotes the video to others

I think it's a good solution to the problem OP.
venusundae: rei looks up at the falling rain (126 (after all))

i think there are also some people who would appreciate that solution tho~ i for one think it's a good idea. i'm glad you can still enjoy the fan videos in your own way even if it's not something you can necessarily discuss w others anymore!

As someone who is in the Warriors fandom and thinks that animator is an awful person, I don't have a problem with this at all. You are not supporting them.
