Changing the Way Newgrounds Flash is Made.

Update: Read my responses to comments.

Two Words: Ad Saturation. It is the future of the newgrounds flash cartoon.

Don't believe me? Watch NEWGROUNDS AD GONE CRAZY!!!

With the revenue system fully in place, Newgrounds flash artists have finally begun receiving a little cash for all their hard work and effort. Revenue systems, I believe, are in part responsible for the rise in quality flash movies and flash games in recent years, not to mention the quantity.
However, I recently noticed something while looking at Newgrounds medals: EXT and you may have noticed it too. That's right. It's just one big point giveaway. That and it has NGads on literally every in-game frame. Think about this. Ugolegend has about 6 advertisements on that flash and the flash has gotten 37,000 views. That means ugolegend has got somewhere between 37,000-236,000 ad impressions!!! And it's not even that popular! Here's my theory:

People will start realizing that making games and movies with lots of ads in it makes more money than better games with only one. Since ads need to display for a certain amount of time before it counts as an impression, some people will start to make games and movies where the in-game ad stays on screen for awhile. But seeing as that will make for more boring games, they wil figure out a different way of getting more ads in their flashes. This is the conclusion they will come to.

Replace Everything With ads. EVERYTHING.
This means flash artists will make their characters ngads, their backgrounds ngads, their stories ngad related.

Now some of you may be thinking: psshhhh, this is never going to happen, they'd get blammed for sure.,,,, BUT!!!! Doesn't The Clock Crew exist? The Lock Legion?

The Clock Crew: Newgrounds Gang
The NGad Alliance: Newgrounds Gang with Financial backing from Newgrounds.

Which gang would you join?

.... Now go watch my damn cartoon. I know it sucks, but seriously, this is the future of Newgrounds Revenue.

I'm not trying to sound like an asshole or anything, but your Flash about ads was kinda hard to understand. Was it supposed to be an eye crying because of all the ads he saw? BUT!! I do have to agree with you on this situation and I did like the movements of the eye so I guess it was decent. :)

The3DragonsGroup 2010-10-04 21:51:47

OKAY! Now I saw much of the Flash and thought it was just going to repeat after the eye but I did like the message you portrayed later on. So... good!

Yes thank you. Indeed, everyone should watch the WHOLE flash before commenting. Note that this is an old flash of mine that I submitted long ago, and now I've just modded it with ads all over it. :P

Lol, I bet your ecpm for that movie is terrible

EKublai 2010-10-04 22:12:09

45 cents, which for me is a little higher than average. I haven't had any major hits yet so I don't think any comparison is fair right now.

I'm not paying anything and the arteests are making money. Seems good enough to me.
Toss the Turtle, for instance, made 2k without filling the game up with ads.

EKublai 2010-10-04 22:13:03

wait, didn't that have small ads between every shot? I don't know, I'm asking.

What muh boy archer said

EKublai 2010-10-04 22:16:15

i mean, so far it's made me as much money as the one that got daily fifth made for me.

Your animation may be deleted.
Let us know how it goes!

EKublai 2010-10-04 22:35:33

Will do. I submitted this one just to see if people were receptive to it. The next time I do this the flash itself will have artistic worth. If a tutorial can have multiple ads in it without getting deleted, a well done flash featuring ads as the characters shouldn't get deleted either.

^I'd think he uses Flash, Neoncouch. Just a guess.

doctormario 2010-10-05 14:24:34

I refuse to make a dime off any of it. :)

EKublai 2010-10-05 14:24:34

good for you man! And in truth, I doubt highly that I'll ever reach the amount necessary to get paid anyway. In the end this was an ironic submission (I do this alot btw). I don't believe getting paid on here means anything, nor even that ngads have had an effect on the quality of flash submissions. It's totally been the increasing collective experience of the newgrounds community that has resulted in the world's best online flash site.
