What can i say guys...1 MILLION+ views in less than a week. This is a record, and for a 25 minute video too! That's INCREDIBLY impressive, and it thanks all to you guys for sharing the video and having a good time with it. This is literally the fuel that motivates me and keeps me going. Thank you all for supporting me in this journey. Awesome stuff is coming.
No problem Diego, it's important for me to read a different point of view about my method, you've been really helpful actually. Have a great day dude.

Thanks to you too for taking some time to answer my ramblings

It's because if i upload the video on different platforms at the same time, it's inevitable that the video on youtube gets a lower view-count and i want to maximize the visibility as much as possibile. For me, visibility is probably even more important than the ad revenue itself. If i do switch to a new program i will surely go for those new ones and not a new version of flash, that's for sure. I tried already even the newest one and i really didn't like it. thanks for the advice though and also good luck!

Still cant understand why cant release your videos on youtube and somewhere else too , but nevermind ; just remember when you do change , dont change to a more recent version of flash , but to another program , i recommend you opentoonz , but if you arent sure , send me a message , and i will inform about the developements in animations softwarsoftware , who knows , maybe i would have my own software by then .

It's true man, but still it's too risky for me to change platform since i don't have the money to risk that process of putting out a video on a different platform and maybe seeing it not getting enough views. It's just too risky. Same thing for the software: many people apparently use different softwares but for me, since i'm not studying anymore and i need to have a continues flow of money coming to pay my bills, i just can't risk investing a lot of time on learning a new program (and reaching the same speed with the workflow too, because that requires a lot of practicing.) Maybe one day, who knows, i will do the passage to a new software though. Thanks for the explanation on what legacy means!

You know , creators don't have to post your content exclusively in one plataform , if they think like that , youtube's monopoly will remain unchallenged and you havent answered if 10 minute videos can be succesful in youtube

A legacy program is software which is not being updated anymore with new features , but may have its bugs continued to be fixed , because some people are still making use of it , your specific version of flash is legacy in both ways od the word , but new versions may become that too , as many people have jumped ship to toomboom or opentoonz as those programs are better workflow and feature wise and because they fear that flash as whole ( not only the animation part ) may soon going be legacy too

what do you mean exactly for "legacy program"? But anyways to answer you, yes, the subs are growing, if you see the graph it's really impressive, i really can't complain man. Doing anything outside of youtube would be losing ground so for now i'll continue on this platform. Even doing shorter videos, if my patreons continue to support, are still useful now because they don't take much of my time and people keep their eyes on the channel (tomb raider took me way less than 2 months). Also, as you know i try to release behind the scenes and other cool stuff like podcast to involve the audience in the meantime.
But in general, the perfect scenario would be to have enough support on Patreon so that i can make short animations of many games and keep people coming for a new toon every week.

So , you think that by this point you will start gaining much more subs ? Btw : you have repetameadly stated that videos shorter than 10 mins no longer fly in youtube ( which doesnt happen in twitter or facebook ) if you did that stopped using a legacy program , maybe you could upload much more frequently , and that means more subscribers each new video , that will wait for the next one , there probably people who forget about your channel , because you dont release anything months at time

Nah man the subs are coming ;) My gmail is exploding! I'm happy on how is going. Also Patreon is even more important than subs at this point, but yeah the new subs are strong.

The only sad part is that you havent gained that many subscribers
