I thought I should finally let y'all see why Vivziepop blocked my main. So. I made a post. That detailed that it just doesn't add up how she could have afforded to pay even a livable wage for all of her animators during their time working for Hazbin. This is due to the length of time for production, the amount of staff, etc. I think it cost somewhere between 3 to 7 million dollars worth of work.
Anyway for some context I pointed out that she makes enough money on YouTube according to multiple sites that she likely didn't need to pull from the Hazbin fund to move to LA or she just flat out gets barely any money from YouTube because her channel was declining.
Here was her response to being asked about a living wage for all of her staff.
Please note the phrase "I paid my team more gradually as the project made more". Now. She also implies Hazbin only cost 1 million. And she acts like she followed union standards (which I'm about to prove she didn't) Well, that would mean each animator only got paid around 10k on average for anywhere from a year to 3 years worth of work. The average minimum wage in the US is $7.25 per hour or $15,080 per year. If you worked on Hazbin for 2 years, which was the average, according to Vivziepop you only got to make 5k per year. 1/3rd that of a minimum wage job. Now here is the kicker.
"Animators paid full time rates" was promised by Vivziepop on her patreon. Bull. Shit. You wanna know what a full time rate is for an animator based on union standards? The lowest you can go is $35k per year for an animator. She paid 1/7th of the lowest full time pay rate that the union approves of. She did this knowingly. This is why she targeted animators not in a union. She didn't want a union to shut her project down. If she paid her animators by union standards Hazbin would have cost 3 to 7 million based on the size of her staff. The reason a pilot typically costs 1 million is because no one dallies and the pilot takes 4 to 6 months to be animated. She straight up is either lying about the budget or she is hiding that she severely underpaid her staff and that Hazbin and Helluva Boss were made with unsavory business practices. She blocked me because I called her out on this and pointed out the math. Just let that sink in.
