On February 17, 2025, "raxdflipnote" joined newgrounds. He started on youtube, making simple flipnotes based on simple punchlines. I have no problem on his content there. I do, however, feel a little peeved with his content on here. All of his animations are extremely low quality. If he wasn't known before making his account, all of his submissions would be blammed. Take a look at his animation "date night flipnote"
There is basically three frames of animation. Think about it, it's two stickmen yelling into the mic with low quality audio with a background of a line and two boxes. His account isn't even a week old, and (as I'm ranting this) he has 85 fans. 85. Think about that for a moment. Imagine that you spend time working on your craft, I'll use art as an example. You work hard, improving, looking for feedback. Then, you make an account here. You post art once or twice a week. You only get 60 fans. I'm not saying it's about follower counts, far from it. I'm saying that there are underrated artists out there, and someone who makes stickmen with wide ass heads yelling has more popularity than them. Think about that. Newgrounds is based off of quality work, his animations have no right being here. I'm not saying my shit's perfect either, but you can tell some work was put into it.
Final statement
I am not attacking raxdflipnote in anyway. I am not hating on him as a person. I do not wish to start any drama or anything bad. I am simply expressing my concerns about him on this platform. His audience is young, and I'm worried that his audience will flock to newgrounds and flood the site with more insanely low quality work than there already is.

Blake I must say that I see it the other way. I'd say that his work is alright quality for this site, if not a tad lacking, but either way he's still making something. And clearly people are enjoying it based off his follower count, which, also you have failed to recognize is also a partially result of his previous fortune. And as for the perceived influx of young users, that would be beneficial for the site. More users posting more content would mean more potential 60-fanners contributing hard work to the site. You yourself are a younger artist for the site and you're putting out good content; why would these newer users do any different? In conclusion, I think Raxdflipnote is doing a good thing by joining and posting to the site, and almost anyone else would be. Would it be better if he put more work into his animation? Yes, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't post it.
