An animator's rant on why motion smoothing is terrible for animation:
I once saw a TV at an IKEA playing old 1960s Tom & Jerry cartoons with frame-doubling and motion-smoothing on. Made me very uncomfortable.
Yeah, I could never put my finger on why I didn't like it before, but then I saw this video and everything made a lot more sense.
Although, with the recent AI boom I could see this process improving a lot (such as what DLSS is doing)... but I would still want an artist in the loop for movies/shows making it look just right, rather than my TV trying to guess how characters should move around between frames.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Ugh... It's like watching TV at my parents' home on their Smart TV with all the stupid bells and whistles enabled. I can't stand these things.
It's just on some TCL tvs that have Roku built in. This might be TCLs fault, they control their updates
