Newgrounds "comments" are not for people to bicker back and forth off topic, they are for reviews, which is exactly why they are called reviews. They are for feedback for the animators/developers/artists/musicians.

Then the problem is that you can't comment at all, not every single thing said about an animation needs to be a review.

Also, Svivel is a good software for converting Flash videos, but it ruins the colour of the video, and it's incredibly annoying to use because every single time you start it you are forced to see a splash screen with an intro music that is too loud and to wait until the intro animation is done to use it.

Are you really complaining about a FREE program that converts SWF to videos because it has a splash screen? God damn, that is ungrateful. As for the color, I have never had a problem using it so I assume you must be setting something up improperly.

Swivel is the only single software I found to feature audio it its splash screen, I'm not complaining on something that they couldn't do, I'm complaining on something they put time to put in place.
As for the color problem, it doesn't support properly color spaces, giving washed colors with H.264 videos.

You keep praising the CPMs of the site, but I never got a cent out of this, to the point where I realized I wasn't there to make money, but to make videos and learning more about animation. I'm now using YouTube because I got more audience than Newgrounds. The same video on Newgrounds and YouTube got 9482 views here, and 545,329 views on YouTube, that's more than 57 times the views. And no, not a single one of my videos is monetized on YouTube.

My problem with Newgrounds isn't even with the views, it's with the way it handles comments and votes. YouTube allows only one vote by user on a video, while Newgrounds allow one by IP address by day, that's just perfect for any troll who wants to watch the world burn, and the way comments are working here doesn't allow someone to reply to a reply to a comment like YouTube does, so the discussion is almost inexistent for a video.
