People's low standarts for AMV

[Romax24245]

I've seen many AMVs from the early years of YouTube that were made with even less effort than that.

I mean what's the point in spending dozens of hours meticulously editing something for something you can't monetize and maybe a dozen people will even see? And why am I still here lmao

AMVs have a number of things working against them when it comes to distribution within the general USA and beyond. This is in no small part to the words "in limited instances" and "non commercial video"existing in the same section of the DMCA 2012 update and even stricter copywrite protections in the EU.

Those words "in limited instances" run directly a foul of video sharing sites goals of getting the maximum views causing even the best AMVs to get lower than expected views.

In addition AMVs historical use of pirated software and Media makes new advertising using AMVs a touchy subject.

At least in my experience.

There will always be amateurs in the hobby or at least amvs that you think are terrible based off your standards. Also, the hobby has grown. More people and higher expectations combined with different styles are the new norm. It can be challenging to find new great amvs. I do know that I do see some great amount of good amvs every year still.
