you should check out Corridor Crew. They're well respected in our field,

In what field? They're youtubers, none of them have held a single job in visual effects. They make react videos. They aren't in effects, their industry is youtube.

And they're pretty good at what they do.

What they do is react videos to things they don't understand, so it would be crazy to look to them as vfx leaders when they haven't even had an entry level job.

That would be like betting on someone who watches boxing every weekend to win a professional fight.

		I don't know what their current video catalog looks like, but they used to do a lot of fairly impressive VFX videos themselves about a decade ago.

That's flat out wrong. They have produced several web series, and their videos feature a lot of visual effects. Just because their career focuses on producing web content doesn't mean they're any less talented than someone working on feature films.

I can't comment on whether they're "well respected" in the VFX industry, but you're being misleadingly hostile.

They aren't, because they aren't in the vfx industry.

you're being misleadingly hostile.

No, this is honesty. People who only know vfx through fake youtubers want to defend them, but it's the blind leading the blind for clicks and views.

Just because their career focuses on producing web content doesn't mean they're any less talented than someone working on feature films.

They built their channel criticizing people who work on feature films. Their work is good according to them and acolytes who buy into it, but people who think they represent vfx don't realize this and suddenly it isn't fair to point out the truth.

> No, this is honesty.

No, it's bullshit.

From Wikipedia[1]:

> Corridor Digital LLC is an American independent production studio based in Los Angeles, known for creating pop-culture-related viral online short-form videos since 2010, as well as producing and directing the Battlefield-inspired web series Rush and the YouTube Premium series Lifeline. It has also created television commercials for various companies, including Machine Zone and Google.

You clearly have some bone to pick with them, but they're accomplished VFX artists. Whether they're good or not is a separate matter, but they're not "fake youtubers" or misleading anyone, unlike yourself.

		Making web videos doesn't mean that they are able to do the visual effects that they criticize. They don't make "vfx artists react" videos to low grade web series. They call themselves vfx artists when they have never done that. They make web videos, they criticize professional work and you are completely ignoring that.
