Butch Hartman was once one of the most innovative animators in the United States. Working closely with Nickelodeon, he became known for having a very distinctive visual style, today known as the "Butch Hartman style", and for creating fast-paced, visually hysterical cartoons filled with sometimes vulgar puns and action, thus making him one of the most identifiable figures in American animation. Good old Butch became one of the most notorious auteurs in his craft, amassing fans, and had everything to become the next Genndy Tartakovsky - another giant. But Butch slowly started to change: he published a video on his YouTube channel announcing that he was quitting Nickelodeon, and that he had a "new project" going on. In the announcement, he talked about biblical passages, about how blessed he was for his career, which was strangely unusual for him. Then one day, he revealed that his new project was a streaming platform with "wholesome" content, which apparently failed miserably. He also

Before I dip my toes in the conflicted relationship between Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher and Netflix, I would like to talk for a bit about a seemly completely unrelated movie.

The film however was savaged by critics, and largely ignored by audiences, grossing little over its budget of a million dollars. What saved it

Every once in a while, I decide to take a trip down the memory lane. I watch an old movie; play an old video game, see an old cartoon... I indulge myself. And I also watch old YouTube videos. It's a funny feeling to watch such content today, those Let's Play videos in which gamers just wanted to have fun, those early reaction videos. They're nostalgic already, and before you notice, an entire decade has gone by. YouTube has launched the careers of many people - for better or worst. Thanks to its easy accessibility, anyone could become popular, while traditional media is more selective. It's true that, as such, lots of shitheads reached stardom due to YouTube, and the world surely is a slightly worst place with Logan Paul in it. But likewise, a lot of bright minds and brilliant entertainers also made waves in pop culture starting from there. And such is the case of Ethan and Hila Klein, who run the once super popular YouTube channel H3H3 Productions. The couple had an unconventional
