Abstract

YouTube has become a great showcase for audiovisual products and a source of income for a number of creators. Several pioneers of internet animation migrated to this platform to provide greater visibility and economic security for their productions. A group of YouTubers, so-called ‘Reply Girls’, achieved rapid economic benefits by publishing content without any value, neither artistic nor communicative, but that deceived YouTube’s remuneration system and prioritization algorithm. To fight this phenomenon, YouTube subsequently applied changes to its prioritization algorithm and monetization plans. In this article, the author examines more than 3,300 videos published by 25 animation channels between 2006 and 2018 with Digital Methods tools to analyse how the changes applied to the platform policies have influenced and shaped the evolution of animation production on the internet.

YouTube动画算法友好吗?YouTube算法如何影响互联网动画制作的演变

YouTube已经成为视听产品的绝佳展示平台，也是许多创作者的收入来源。互联网动画的几位先驱迁移到这个平台，为他们的制作提供更大的可见性和经济安全性。一群YouTuber，即所谓的“回复女孩”，通过发布没有任何价值的内容，获得了快速的经济利益，这些内容既不具有艺术性，也不具有传播性，但却欺骗了YouTube的薪酬体系和优先级算法。为了应对这种现象，YouTube随后对其优先级算法和货币化计划进行了更改。在这篇文章中，作者用数字方法工具研究了2006年至2018年间25个动画频道发布的3300多个视频，以分析应用于平台政策的变化如何影响和塑造互联网上动画制作的演变。

期刊介绍： Especially since the digital shift, animation is increasingly pervasive and implemented in many ways in many disciplines. Animation: An Interdisciplinary Journal provides the first cohesive, international peer-reviewed publishing platform for animation that unites contributions from a wide range of research agendas and creative practice. The journal"s scope is very comprehensive, yet its focus is clear and simple. The journal addresses all animation made using all known (and yet to be developed) techniques - from 16th century optical devices to contemporary digital media - revealing its implications on other forms of time-based media expression past, present and future.
