So yes, there has been a massive, massive increase in non-flash video content
how many of those are animated video. holy willful misinterpretation.
In fact, most of the old flash videos have more views on youtube than they ever had in their original forms.
what point do you think you’re making here?
this whole thread is lamenting the fall of interactive animation. you cant hide a funny mouse-over easter-eggs in a youtube video, like OP is talking about. The file sizes are huge.
Flash was abandoned as fast as possible as soon as newer, easier and better alternatives arrived.
except that the alternatives that fulfill the wants of OP are way harder to make the equivalent art.
You have been elitist as fuck throughout all your comments in this chain, thinking that you are somehow better than everyone else because you got stuck in some old software and didn’t manage to migrate to something better.
Only because, as you demonstrated in the other thread, you’ve (willfully?) misread what I’ve said. meanwhile you’ve just told people “learn to code or pick up a camera, fuck the art that you actually wanted to make”

Definitely much, much more than anything that was ever made in flash. Also, flash animation started because there was nothing else that could fit into a size that was affordable enough to host and small enough to download over low bandwidth internet. Two constraints that don’t matter any more.
So now we are back to “needs programming”, which you just said in your last comment that it is not what you are talking about. You aren’t just moving the goal posts, you are switching them back and forth.
Who cares? It’s not the early 2000s any more.
Again, you seem to think that Unity doesn’t exist, same as you claimed above that Unity can only do 3D and you claimed you need to know how to program to use Unity. None of which is true.
The art that YOU wanted to make. Apart from you and that other dude in this thread I have never actually heard of anyone being sad that Flash is gone.
And if you really want to make flash stuff, you can use one of the dozens of Flash to HTML5 converters (that you apparently don’t know exist) or a Flash on Webassembly implementation, which exist as well.
You are crying over the loss of something that still exists, and people are not using it because it still sucks.
