This isn't me saying its bad - so don't get me wrong. But this post's score seems botted as fuck. This is so suss - the sheer amount of upvotes/favs aren't in line with the comments - and the flash is okay but its not amazing - there's flashes out there that are way better with less appreciation given to them in the scoring system than this. And the content of this flash is actually low - its well done but for example - mittsie has more options and content in their flashes than this by far.

*shrug* I'm not sure what you mean by the upvotes not in line with the comments, but I'm not as desperate as to create some kind of bot to pretend like I'm better than I am. it's not like upvotes or favourites give anything on this website, either.

In terms of animation quality, I admit there's a few people that are better than me like Fuzzamorous, Hopfel, Orange peel and blitzdrachin to name a few, and I don't really understand why they don't get more votes either.

As for why other flashes that have more content don't get as much appreciation, that might be because a lot of people are using after effect's puppet tool or flash's tweening for their animations, and generally it looks kinda bad. Now I'm not saying nobody should use it, I'm just saying that it's harder to make something that looks decent with those tools without extensive knowledge of animation and 2D rigging.

It might be that tweening seems more appealing to many beginner animators because they think it's easier and less time consuming, and I'm getting the feeling very few try to learn animation before tweening and instead attempt to just...make their drawings move back and forth with no regards to any basic principles of animation, which raised some kind of spite among the community against this technique over the years, to the point where some very positive constructive criticism I was giving on a puppet tool animation was downvoted by people who were insulting the artist for using it.

People might give more appreciation to frame by frame because they know how hard it is or how long it takes, or because they prefer how organic it looks.

TBH, it doesn't really matter if you have 20 different clothing variations with 30 different backgrounds and 10 different positions in your animation. If the animation quality is poor, all the work that was put into those options is kinda wasted.
