# On The Evils of Adobe, The Newgrounds Generation, & The Need For Non-Extortionary Creation Tools

Its kinda offensive how adobe animation is so much more complex with such a higher learning curve meanwhile flash 8 had an entire generation of children starting their careers in animation making shit when they were in grade school that was good enough to get assloads of views.

We need to bring media creation tools back to the people (read: ZOOMERS).

why are they so complicated? 
*SO THEY CAN SELL YOU CLASSES AND MANUALS.* 

why do they change every year 
*SO YOU KEEP GIVING THEM MONEY*

Show me a grade schooler these days who is gonna pirate adobe animation and figure out how to use it 

HOW COME HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF KIDS A DECADE AGO COULD DO IT WITH MACROMEDIA FLASH 8?

The newgrounds generation is DEAD and we are forever worse off because of it
