"For example, I can't help but feel like if you can't draw a masterpiece, Compose a Banger, Or Traditionally animated, you are below the elite and don't deserve to be here."
I see the high quality standard as less of a form of snobbery but more as a motivation to get good. B) And by "good" I mean really good. Initially, ur gonna keep getting low-ish scores, but if you set a goal to outdo youself with each new submission, and you reach a certain level, you're on the top of the world! B) Newgrounds is this sorta litmus test if your content (mostly animations) is pro or you're not there yet, imho. There's no YouTube sugarcoating here.
