@gooseworx I have a few words of advice for you.
1. Don't let the toxic behavior you have bared witness to completely deject you. Take your distance if need be, but art & animation are still worth it. Watch from a distance before deciding to approach to avoid internet borne entitlement.
2. Avoid Twitter if you can, that place is a cesspool.
3. You don't need a studio to make a show, just look at Joel Guerra Castio & how things worked out with his webseries.
4. Last but not least, ditch glitch studios & their Australian gov money. You deserve better than them. If somehow you can't do things on your own, nor can you form your own studio, perhaps seek the help of those who know to only get commissioned by the distant armaments of the state rather than accept a large sum from them directly; someone like BobbyPills, who knows how to keep their indie roots intact even when working on an Amazon Prime show.
