Animation: The technique of photographing successive drawings or positions of puppets or models to create an illusion of movement when the film is shown as a sequence.

Post videos that were put together by some human, combining elements of animation and music, in some conscious attempt to make one compliment the other. Animated music videos in other words. This includes but is not limited to: vocaloid videos, anime intros, anime music videos, original animations, disney songs, video game music videos, and so on. 3D/other SFX is fine so long as it's not actively trying to look (hyper)realistic (Does Teardrop pass? Who knows.) Err on the side of cartoon/anime vibes.

Don't be a dick.
No AI slop.
Attempts to avoid YouTube are appreciated but don't upload what isn't yours (support artists). Recommend you remove the tracking ID from the YouTube URL (?si=CODE)

I'm so tickled that I get to be the one who recommended them to you. And yeah, isn't it kind of a great time to be skipping the big studios and doing it indie? Modern production tech has never been better, and there's a huge appetite for anything that is less corporate, less focus-groupy, and more about strong creative choices. I've been considering grabbing a Dropout.tv subscription for that reason, after seeing a couple seasons of Game Changer. Might even fuck around and grab some Glitch merch while I'm at it, some of the Gameoverse stuff is kinda cute.

Definitely. Even accounting for YouTube's anti-long form, animation-hostile policies, it's never been so easy to produce, publish, and disseminate your animation on your own. It's also never been so easy finding and collaborating with such a wide variety of artists outside of an industry setting, either. It's still definitely a mixed bag, but there are definitely a lot of advantages in that mixed bag that weren't available to us before.

Also, Dropout is great! I love their content, and their people-over-profits principles make it so easy to want to reward their excellence. I love that they don't try to erect any barriers preventing you from dropping and re-subscribing month-to-month at your convenience, nor try to adopt all the anti-customer policies that mainstream services use to extract as much profit as possible, such as preventing screen/account-sharing. If you do pick it up, I hope you enjoy! :)
