Is this AI Art, or is This Something New?

The training on particular characters from your own art has made for a dramatic improvement! However, it's noticeable how primitive the mouth animation is in this iteration - there's very little shaping of the lips, only opening and shutting of the mouth. I wonder if you had got Josh to draw a lot more examples of character mouths saying various phonemes whether they would have come out better.

Exciting to see the progress!

These behind the scenes videos are just as exciting to me as the show. The passion behind the project is palpable.

I really appreciate Corridor for addressing the rising controversy around AI with their own exploration from the position of artists themselves and finding a way to use it effectively, ethically, and while preserving their own expression and style and skill in their pieces.

I loved the jittery art style because it literally looked like just that, a style.
It reminded me of 'a scanner darkly'.
And since the last ep I've been curious what a scanner darkly could have looked like had it used this Ai technique instead of the hand drawn stuff.
Could be an experiment for a future project maybe? Scanner darkly with todays technology

Much of my issue with AI art is the uncredited/unpaid use of source artists work (after which many suggest it is their work). In this case, an artist was paid to generate the training data for your model. That feels like the morally correct way to use AI.

I’d love to see this built on with additional training for lip syncing. Like adding a library of animated expressions and mouth shapes (similar to the old school stuff they made for the back end production on The Nightmare Before Christmas) and see what kind of boost we can get from that. Plus, the challenge of figuring out how to implement that in the best ways would be interesting.

It looks great, one of the things I notice is the eyes still distort and break. We need a way to generate the eyes an have it stick to the same shape. One of the idea I had was to make clean versions of all the eyes from each angle, and have a seperate AI pass that just does eyes. Hopefully it can track them better with most angles and pupil directions. The other thought was to have the eyes rendered with a 3D AI, that actually makes the physical eyes and lighting based off the drawings, then applies them to the characters appropriately. Gen2 is currently doing some nutty stuff with video shots. Especially with stable models from frame to frame.

Proud of you guy's for inventing your own art style. (If there is anything left to invint really.) But still, you didn't have to but you cared enough to listen to the people. Despite how crazy some of us can get. 😉

I really like the artstyle Josh came up with. very contrast, vibrant, and clear.

I personally LOVE the new artstyle, it's such a great blend between anime and cartoon, which seems perfect when using tools that struggle with clarity and consistency :D

I would be fascinated to see a breakdown of how long it takes to do this, versus a studio doing a more traditional animation technique. Obviously the Crew is still feeling out the work flow and everything, but the time comparison would be interesting i think.

The AI obviously still struggles a lot with the mouth animation, but it's a lot easier on the eye without the flickering lines. Also I'm really glad that you used the drawings of an artist who fully knew about the project and consented to it, because that's what usually makes me mad about how people use AI art. I'm still sceptic about AI art, especially for commercial use, but I know we can't put the cat back into the bag, it's a thing now and it's impossible to stop - so I think what you are doing now is a move into the right direction. I really hope we'll soon find a way to make it fair for artists.
Edit: To clarify, I don't mean "slap copyright on styles so you can sue anyone who creates something close to it". I mean "let artists keep their jobs and make consent a defining factor in training AI." Would be nice if we could find a way to make that work.

you know what? god bless yall and i love seeing people work on something they're passionate about. you're hardworking and you'll be the one to break through this new gen of production and animation

I feel you guys have been a lot more creatively free and playful with your compositions and scenes thanks to this new work method, It will be interesting to see where you go with it and if you could blend it with your "traditional" way of making videos.

Absolutely love this pipeline! Keeping the artists involved improves it so much 😍

The directing and effects still are art, thats stuff still takes some talent.

I'm neutral with AI and I love how you're handling this! Making your own art was definitely the right call but I would still love to see more articulated mouths because I think being able to do those would elevate this technology even more.

So cool that you guys listened to the main criticism and really went the extra mile to make this project your own rather than pulling from and already existing style.

Whatever AI art become real things in future or not, you guys is making history as one of early AI arts adaptations.

Very impressive and intriguing. Just showed my wife both episodes and she loved it.

I appreciate you guys doing your own art this time major improvements

I will never get tired of watching this channel.

AI has yet to discover what a tounge is. Artists remain safe for another day.

i think part of the controversy is that people tend to think that AI is a replacement, that the hard work of artists are now void because of how easy AI does it in comparison.
but the tools you used in RPS 1 and 2 are not for replacement, its for improvement, a tool that does things better.
if digital art is an improvement to traditional painting
then the AI art animation you did is an improvement to traditional animation

Thank you for using commissioned artist work that they gave their consent for to be used in this project. This is an ethical use of AI and should be the standard.

Part II is by far visually more appealing in it's consistency. I Love both but this new version is perfect!!

love how you guys are always pushing the medium, inspiring!

I'm positive this will be the industry standard within studios to avoid copyright issues.

The improvement on the sequel is absolutely wild.
Keep pushing the boundaries crew 💪

A great informative video, as always guys. Looks great.

_Rock, Paper, Scissors_ always gave me huge _A Scanner Darkly_ vibes. The style may be different but as an animation tool it's basically very advanced rotoscoping, and I see how it can lead to new and exciting art works.
I also don't see it replacing traditional animation. I mean, can it be applied to the style of like _Futurama, Samurai Jack,_ or _Bojack Horseman?_ It woiuld be interesting to try just for the fun of it. But other tools and techniques will always be around. Photoshop didn't replace oil paints either after all.
What I dislike on the ethical side are the passive income bros who are touting AI as a way to "democratize art" while pumping out derivative kitsch. You're not democratizing anything, you're replacing real artists with machine learning. Not the same vibe at all.

Really appreciate that you guys created your own training data

100% believe this and several other of your videos are used in schools around the world. Amazing work.

Could you simply train a separate models for each element of the face and then combine them together? That way you could sharpen the eye models as an example by having an eye-specific training set or mouths, etc. Then use a separate machine learning model to combine the elements. It adds an extra layer of machine learning, but I would be curious to see if it generates a cleaner end result. I freely admit this is likely to be massive amounts of extra work, but it is an interesting thought experiment.

The original art style was far superior but I understand why you guys needed your own. Very cool to see. Keep it coming!

I do enjoy the previous art style more because I think it looks more gritty and visceral and I love that rotoscope look, but I appreciate the reasons why you changed it

I liked that you guys hired an artist to invent your own style. I think that over taking the work of an other artist is great. this video is great because it creates a good synthesis between ai and art.

THANK YOU for using dubbed style and paying homage to its eastern roots. its can be confusing those that haven't watched the style & genere, but is on brand for your creative style and team. Thank you for your art.

This makes me think of motion capture for 2d animation. Definitely a lot of potential when used correctly.

The creative juices are strong with this one 🤩

I appreciate that they’re not copying another art style through ai, but at the same time I do think the art style outputted from the ai looked much better, more detailed and serious, than their own new style, even if the flickering itself was improved

I find it especially intriguing that with a solid pipeline, projects certainly seem so achievable that were never previously. It really let's your creativity go wild with the possibilities.
It could even be as draft or a strong pitch for a much deeper, more expensive, and involved full feature project.

You could try using a bilateral filter for smoothing the original video while preserving edges. Theoretically this makes stable diffusion even more stable because there are less details/noise

100% agree. I have never been artistically talented and never thought I would be. I had dreams and ideas but was never able to articulate them. AI tools have allowed me to bring expression to those ideas I thought would have to die within me.
Tools like these are always met with disdain at first, in the same way that the photograph was thought of as a false medium for people who weren't talented enough to become painters.
Thank you for speaking some common sense in pointing out that anything that gives people the ability to express themselves artistically can be used for good.

The fact that this is trained on custom artwork and not artist who haven't consented puts every fear to rest. This is an incredibly powerful tool that still takes amazing skills and artistry to use, and if emotionally impactful art can be created with it then that's excellent in my book.

Well it’s finally happened. Major CC content locked behind a paywall. I can only hope it eventually comes to ESclips.

the eyes still breaks the magic for me but it's quite cool to see how far did you come from rps 1, great job everybody

I am really happy to see you using an artist who consented for the reference. That makes a big difference. Keep trying to be great and ethical at the same time.

I think if the voices can line up with the mouth movements, it will be solid gold

i feel like a lot of the detail and shading was lost with the new style as there was less training to go off of and it was a different style from the first one, but I think it also looked much more consistent! maybe traingin on more open-mouthed poses for the new one could have worked though, the comparative lack of training data did sort of show. Though to be fair even with highly trained ai videos it still gets mouths wrong sometimes, maybe in the future there can be an automatic sort of process where another ai can detect things like open mouths and map it to be used for the ai to match the footage more accurately. amazing to see how much better ai generation over video has gotten over such a short period of time!

I'm right there with you guys in finding new ways to use these AI tools in creative ways,
it's exiting to imagine what will be possible in just a few years, AI opens the door to a lot of creative possibilities

I'm still mixed on the use of AI art, mostly because of the training data being stolen artworks; but with this setup of yours, creating your own data set with an artist who consented, it gives me ease.

This is really great and a good example of how more traditional forms of art creation and the use of AI don't need to be adversarial.

Im glad to see you understand the use of AI. It is not about replacing anyone, it's about working hand by hand with the AI to make things e
"easier".

Is it possible to train AI with 3 D models of the characters in your anime? Maybe that will help with the flicker. It could use the models for the motion blur and perspective changes which may be causing the flickering. SN: I have zero effect experience btw I’m a photographer 😂

10:51 That's what I think is the problem right there.
The issue with Ai isn't artists like you making new and exciting content for the sake of creativity, I do fully agree you're on to something entirely different, and in fact is something quite intriguing and awesome. However, sadly, artists like you aren't the ones who lead the world of entertainment. The concern I personally have (and the one I've heard other animators like me have) is that companies and studios will only see the last part of your statement "Here we are, with a full episode of an anime, made with 6 people over 4 months". That's what's scary, that because of a new form of Vfx, the side of animation is in danger of being seen as something worthless by corporations, all while animators are already being neglected and exploited as I'm sure you know.
So I think that's the fear- that this fantastic tool is going to be exploited by corporations by kicking out animators and artists in exchange of something more efficient. Leaving artists with almost nothing to fight back- no matter what we do AI is always going to be faster than traditionally drawing and more efficient- and that's all that corporations see, and that's all that gets out to the world, making it all that people will see devaluing artists even more so than they already are- so If I were to assume why the controversy exists, it's just that... we are scared that something wonderful you are making is going to be used to harm other artists, is nothing against you or Ai really, it's fear of loosing our livelihood. It isn't just that AI is stealing art and what a machine is doing is being referred to as "art" (which is demeaning and terrible because it carries no emotion or creativity, it simply blindly replicates what others do and blends it together in a big slush of an image)
Right now they are writers on strike, and what Disney is doing is trying to replace them with Ai. You, with a small team (relative to Disney) was able to improve Ai this much, imagine what a corporation with ridiculous amounts of money can do with Ai- So it isn't even an irrational fear anymore... I'm happy that you've used an artist to create your style from a new, and I'm happy you're excited about the progression of Vfx with the use of Ai- but this doesn't really make it any better, if anything you're kind of proving the point that if anything the art world is becoming even more competitive at best and becoming truly horrific at worst, so while this isn't anything to do with corridor, it is a situation which may bring consequences might be a lot bigger and dangerous than one might imagine. So are you responsible for any of the things that might happen? Not really, but by normalizing the use of Ai it's discrediting what artists like me or other animators can do.
So if anything, I'd just ask that anyone using Ai can really understand that the commercial use and normalization of it hurts artists, not because of you, but because of how corporations and the public might react to something like this.
That's what I'd like to say, personal opinion but based on what I've seen with the art world I'm in... I hope it helps shed some light in what I think is the other problem you didn't get to address here. But again, thanks for getting an artist to make an art style, if the entertainment world wasn't so focused on making money and cared about art, that would solve the issue, but we don't live in that wonderful imaginary world were artists are valued...
But that's what I think, regardless thank you for the video addressing the artists, I know it isn't for me but as an artist I appreciate the effort :) it was a good progress to witness and it was great to hear your point of view

What you guys made is art, un-debatably. You used a tool that complements your creative art form. With WORK. It’s the next steps down in human input that put it in the ‘needs to be debated philosophically’

Flickering/consistency has been a huge problem for me. Fine tuning models that map one person to one character is a really interesting solution and clearly it's made a huge difference. This entire workflow is just on another level. Well done demonstrating the best this technology has to offer.

I love the approach you're taking with this. A pencil is only as good as the soul which wields it. Excited to see your progress on this.

I think you are onto something amazing, first congratulations to the team.
As feedback I think that less flicker might not be the perfect solution, because then some flickers might become more visible, it would be similar to reducing the frame rate of a fast paced animation.
Keep up the good work!

Amazing, but I honestly loved the first one more, I literally had never seen anything like it, all the flicker gives it a unique touch, almost like an aura of tension

This looks really good! I think the 2 pieces that are the most jarring afterwards are the mouth movements and the motions. Animated character movement is generally not bound by human anatomy, which gives this movie a distinct feel in how the characters move within their environments.

Wonder if you could create characters in something like blender, with all your own styles and such, and then have an animation set that just ran through all the poses, lip movements etc and then feed that into stable diffusion. Could be a much more automated proccess and you just do the animation set once and put in on any new character model

Good on you for not using existing art. Getting a real artist to make a style guide is the absolute best way to go. Big ups.

The fact that the key to embetter the animation was to avoid stealing artists was pretty unexpected and welcome !

Interesting to see that the emotion came through better on part one

They basically traded the general flickering for the mouth animation(which doesnt work now) if you get proper sheets of main characters with different mouths and expressions it should solve both problems even further. (Adding more angles would help too)

This is more in line with how I feel like these styles of Copying AI should be used, taking your own assets and using it as a tool to expand your capabilities.

Some people I know at university made their own ai short, but due to copyright rules and limited time/crew they had to find some none copyrighted art that was in itself very inconsistent. The result was a flickering mess. Using your own art for this is much better and I think that it will be less controversial when the artist agrees to it and you have the right to use the artwork.

It's really cool seeing how this tool is used. I loved the first RPS and I look forward to seeing this one. Honestly though, I'm not too big a fan on the art style of this one. The Vampire Hunter D style looked so good. I understand why y'all went with your own art style. I just wish it was more on the anime side instead of the cartoon side

i like that corridor shows us that AI is a tool and not a cheat that can make a whole movie in minutes (i can assure you having tried it takes quite a bit of work)

Great improvement than the first one. Less flicker, more consistent. Might be the 'feature' of rotoscoped animation (Since we also R&D in the most economical, fast way to do rotoscope, yet still looks animated (and not 'filter' look). :D

Wow, you guys did it better than the last time.
Stick with the in-between and keep the keyframe constant (human work whenever possible), and it should be good for now.

There is no doubt that this is art made in collaboration with AI, but guided by real human artists who put in a lot of painstaking work. And it looks astonishing at times, but the disconnected dialogue just breaks it for me... You were so close! Next time?

I’m so happy this got a continuation.

My biggest issues with AI generated art always comes back to consent of the artist whose works are being used in the training model. Training a model off of you own art (or commissioned art in this case) is IMO the ethical way to go about it. I really appreciate that you guys put in the work to use these tools responsibly!

I think what would help validate the improvements faster to your pipeline is to create a 3D model that will allow you to build out training data much quicker (as you can much more easily mess with lighting/mouth movements etc). That way you can experiment with how much training data you can remove before it makes the result worse and figure out what to actually ask your artist to draw.
For cohesiveness in the lighting maybe that can be a second process after the fact? ie. play around with an initial pass with just flat imagery with 0 shading and after another transformation that applies the "lighting" to that. No idea though as I've not played around with Stable Diffusion but I do think splitting the task out into smaller chunks will let you have more control and finetuning of the models.

I want an episode 3 with improvement in facial expressions and motions of bodies.
Anyway.. I love your video.
Hope one day A.I. will be able to creat motion pictures from comic books with exact same art style and dimensions of bodies. Love to see some 🗣️ahm !! “Normal Comics” comes to life.. 😅😊

For now now, AI is still not much more than a very advanced tool. Much more imitative rather then generative. And needs a skilled artist and a vision to develop its full potential. And you guys really demonstrated that. What amazing things can be achieved with this, but also how much effort is still involved in the process.

You were one of the first AI obsessed guys I saw on the internet, if not the first. It's awesome to see your creative progress so closely, thank you for sharing it with us.

I love anime rock paper scissors and tho it’s controversial I’m so glad to see you embrace it and make more! Love your content guys! Definitely like the anime art style of the first over the second but it’s still great

When you create your own art stylebook specific to the project and train the AI to do that specifically for each character, I'd day there's no longer any problem at all. It's now performance capture with AI-assisted animation. 100% your own product.

5:32 yeah but an emotional reaction doesn't always mean it's good art. The discussion is based upon if it even is art, or to what degree it is art. The emotional response was not to the "art" itself, but solely to the tools and techniques and them being viewed as a possible erosion or a flippant viewpoint towards animation by trying to present the thing that you made as being something approaching or being on par with the things that we highly regard as animation, like the source material for example. And you even presented it as the thing that's going to replace animators or that made their lives easier, when it's kinda disrespectful to try to compare the two things. the fact that you equated it as being validation for the "art" being good kinda worries me that you've missed the point people were trying to make or don't really understand the discussion, there's like a smugness that you knew it was gonna be controversial and you did it for the controversy and are very happy with yourself but idk man, I'm just one man who loves animation, and of course I could just not comment, and be like "hey let him make what he wants to make" and I feel that but something deep is calling me to even just add a little bit of context. Because vfx≠animation. Theres a lot of overlap but theres some distinct differences. Animation is very dear to me and it feels like its something worth fighting for. I'm not trying to fight against you, but I'm trying to fight to help you understand.

It's exciting when something can lower the bar to entry so more people can create something that was out of their reach. Understanding the basics of animation is incredibly important, but if you don't have access then you'll never have a good foundation to start from.

Neeko didn't need a wig. His hair is already magical.

Cool stuff. If the faces and mouth animation gets better you cant tell the difference between a "real" animation and one generated with ai.

v2 looks gorgeous!
Something I'd be interested to see in v3 is incorporating more stillness.
Like, most of the time in anime, only the eyes will move, or the mouth, or the hair, or one arm. A whole body moving is pretty rare. And even then, they probably move less than the "still" shots of your actor. Or it's more deliberate-looking, or something.
I feel like you guys are going for this in the composition and acting. (Esp 10:04-10:06, which I love. And maybe also that shot of the guy in the window.)
It would be interesting to experiment with mimicking the way people used to animate, like, just eyes on a see-thru paper and then place it over a blank face.
Like, 9:33-9:36, you could def just paste a moving head on a still body.
Or you could try letting the AI animate, cut out the moving eyes, and just paste them on a still image.
That might end up being nightmare fuel. Or the intermingled full-rotoscope-y next to partly-still might be too jarring.
(I know you guys know how anime is made. I just couldn't find a way to articulate my suggestion without writing it all out.)

Corridor showing what can be done when you put effort into the process of making stuff with AI instead of “this is the future of animation, fire your VFX artists”. Truly good stuff

This reminds me, a little bit, of Delta State. It was an animated show in Canada back in 2005. It would be cool to look at how they achieved this kind of “real actors with a cartoon shader” look.

I think that doing the voice recording as your videoing would make the dialogue match better. Similar to how actors record their voice while face tracking for cgi

From what I gathered the AI in the 1st animation grabbed info from VHD and that style often uses squint eyes, closed eyes then animating them wide open in times of shock surprise etc, this is a key style while the AI couldn't allocate where these changes should accour, so even tho you could take care of the flicker fixing the face is a nightmare.
So if you are going to train something I guess a code needs to exist that covers opening and closing the eyes, because it pulls it all over the place at random and if you spend time fixing it frame by frame might as well make everything from scratch since you will get more clean results lightyears better in comparison and original style too.

I like the consistent style based on one artist and I imagine the results could be improved by accumulating more artworks (especially for face animation), but still the concept is proved.
I'd love to see you now have some little collaboration with Aaron Blaise regarding traditional animation and boosting the workflow with Machine Learning. I suppose it might be interesting to replace video footage with simplified drawings as the input - and in this way achieve some squashing, stretching and overexaggeration of the animation.

I'm glad that you have now used AI and fed it your own art. This is the most ethical way of how to use machine learning software that uses images. The controversy stems from using copyrighted art and was used without the permission of the artist. I for one am now all in for the support of this because you've reached out to an artist and the artist created art with the knowledge and intention to have their art be used on the software.

I do admit I love your passion and hype for this project.
The ONLY thing that worries me so so much about this, is whenever the big studios get their hands on this, jobs for animators will be cut in half for sure.
And jobs for animators are already barely a thing anymore, let alone jobs that pays well.
BUT, maybe the introduction of this will allow traditional animation to become a rarity, thus being more sought out? I dunno.
It's a scary world.
However, if we look at this project secluded from traditional animation, I think it's a pretty cool project where you evolve techniques, push limits, and try something new.

Even though I'm still not on board with AI being used this way (Sorry, but nothing will beat animation by hand), I will say that I'm glad y'all at least hired an animator this time around and the output is *slightly* better than the first. But that's a very small *slightly*.
But my problem this time around is that this video just feels very defensive about this whole thing. I would honestly respect you guys more if you just came out and said 'We're gonna keep doing this, go jump off a cliff if you hate it so much'. Because that's the vibe I get, especially with that schpeel on art generating an emotional response. If anything you guys hiring an animator just goes to show that things look better when they have even the smallest human touch.

Cheers for the video guys! Some really interesting topics you bring up. It got me thinking on a couple of points too...
I would say that A.I. art isnt just a matter of taste, its also a matter of politics. I saw someone over on twitter put it in an interesting way earlier 'Humans doing the hard work on minimum wage while the robots make poetry and paint is not the endgame I imagined'. 😄
So I'm all for these tools being used by a passionate creative, but do we have to ask ourselves what the knock on effect is going to be? Is this technology going to open the door to new creators and allow them to make a real living, or is it just going to play into the hands of studio execs who will be able to produce anything they want on a shoestring and crowd everyone else out of the market?
I think theres more to the 'controversy' than corridor have touched on here too. I mean, it's a little bit in poor taste to make a video like this during the SAG-AFTRA strikes and not mention the concerns of all the artists out there whos livelihood is threatened by this tech. Are we kidding ourselves here thinking that this sort of thing isn't going to put people out of work? Its fairly obvious that the big studio execs are drooling at the thought of replacing all those 'uppity creatives' with a digital counterpart that they dont have to pay a living wage. What is the legislation around all this going to look like? Who is going to end up with the power of this content creation in their hands? Better to ask these questions now than to stumble over them in the future maybe.
Otherwise, I can see how this tech could be used to augment a piece of content, but I can also see how it could be used to turn it into a bland 'designed by committee' product too. Its always going to vary from project to project I suppose, but I think its worth considering as we develop the culture around this tech and how we use it. Are we going to stifle the potential of performers to practice their art? Is there a point where streamlining a creative process goes too far?
And by that I mean, are we going to end up depriving ourselves of the joy in the process of creation in the end? What film fan doesnt look back at some of the analogue techniques and think that we've kinda lost something along the way for example? It was probably a pain in the ass back in the day too, but I still think its worth considering haha.
Personally, I'm a bit tired of the movie scene out there at the moment. So many Marvelesque movies that are just being pumped out and it all just feels so bland. And I say that as a nerd who would have been excited for all that stuff in my time! It just worries me that we're going to see that same 'safe', moneymaking approach applied to more and more mediums out there.
Hope I'm not being too critical. I very much appreciate the effort you guys put in for this and I can see the huge potential here too. I just think we need to plot our course wisely so that the maximum amount of people see the benefit from it all. Its about being smart and nuanced maybe.
Speaking of nuance, I think a great test of this tech might be to see if you guys can truly replicate (or even enhance) the "emotional connection" garnered from a tried and tested peice of art. If you guys were to take say, Boromirs death scene in LOTR for example and truly capture the subtlties there, I think you might have something to write home about. Make a room full of grown ass people cry with this stuff and you've got my attention. 😂

It's cool to think of the AI as tool that can reproduce a style. It's more like a student to a real artist, rather than a replacement. Perhaps in the future, artists will have copyright over their original works, and then can either choose to license or reserve the rights to their art style.

I definitely think this is a step in the right direction for you guys, as far as AI goes.
I don't necessarily like AI, but I think the fact that it's now trained on an artist who's given consent is fantastic.
With the visuals, I think the lip flaps still aren't that great, and there is still a bit of inconsistency here and there.
I wonder, what would it be like if you picked and chose specific frames to keep, and had your artist manually tweak them to touch it up a bit? It would be a bit more anime-like (having fewer frames, but animated more strategically), and it keeps a larger human element (not to discredit all your other work on the project, of course), while still automating the process a bit.

Awesome Job guys! It's obvious that a lot of thought, effort, and artistic technique goes into everything you do down to the wardrobe - Just make your art and have fun the way you do - If people don't like it, they can watch something else - Most of us, just want to be entertained, and your content does that perfectly, so keep up that great work :)
