He was also reluctant to make a Patreon and actually get money, instead using that shitty Dutch site. Dude would've made so much more money if he did the Eng dub and Patreon, he didn't even need to discard the Dutch one, he could do both. I also don't know why the idiot didn't do it

Massa is retarded, but has talent for drawing. Is that enough of an explanation?

>>30322I think his idiocy boils down to the fact that he's unironic Dutch patriot and believes that his country who killed niggers for spice did it better than other countries who killed niggers for spice. Or he just loves the Netherlands idk. He wanted to contribute to Dutch culture and language. Unfortunately for him, 'zellig has become a global phenomenon.
Btw, why did Studio Massa say that one of the reasons why the show got discontinued was that Russian fans couldn't donate because of Les International Sanctions™? Did they actually send that much money?

>>30328He's talented at all these things indeed. That's why some artists hopelessly need a producer. It's a pity he never found one ('zellig is too zaryan for mainstream media).

>>30334By deel 4 he was involving other animators. He probably would have hired even more of them and hired vas for other characters

>>30334That just makes him even more retarded. Regardless, it is a lot easier to get burnout by doing a shitton of work and getting $1 compared to getting $1kk - Dude had the perfect recipe for a shitton of money and he didn't make use of it because of some braindead, nonsense, illogical way he percieved nationalism. He could've made a LOT more money, toned down the over-animated scenes AND hired someone

Can someone who watched the show before 2023 chime in? I discovered it only in April of this year and I would like to know what it was like when the show was still "running": what the anticipation felt like, how much information was disseminated by Massa or others and how much was known about the pitching/funding that Massa tried.

>>30367I find this to be most likely. He worked for 13 months on a deel alone or seven with an aide. Based on the leaked q&a he placed a lot of his own experiences into Maya, and when he cancelled the show the deels sat at very low viewcounts compared to the current numbers, so he likely wasn't going to stop just because it did not get famous enough for his liking.
<redditIf he wanted funding, he'd have done as other zaryans suggested and market it to an english speaking audience. He'd still be able to express himself, and if he cut down on the holocaust jokes he might've even been able to pitch it to some studio or producer.
<redditFor him to stop when he did only makes sense if he lost interest, I think. If he was interested in the show, it's characters and messages he would've kept on making more short deels.

>>30372This is still werid-ish
He clearly wanted some money, and doing a passion project doesn't help when the return ain't so great. He could've easily gained a bunch of money and audience + maybe even a producer if he tweaked some things. I'll stick to the theory that what led to the cancelation was Massa being braindead with no mymy trillionaire grindset + he lost his lightskin european mixed girl fetish

>>30371The show got cancelled in February 2024. Whatever, I found out about the show in 9th of December, so I still managed to get enough of emotions. I can say that hopes were very high, and everything was being felt like, idk, a fairy tale? All looked like that story was about to continue, but… But we know what happened then.
