>Even some of the bader fics look like gold compared to that era.
Even Double Rainboom and awful but popular animations or fic from the early cringy era have some genuine qualities despite being atrocties for the gen 4 period.

>I can find art in all categories that could be described considered elite tier. You don't have that to such a degree with other fandoms that is for sure.
I will say that Deviantart/Derpi has uppered their quality in terms of ponies. I find those cringy and edgy images quite often but their frequency has definitely lowered, either because the artist has got better or because there is so much art that balances all the bad stuff and puts it into the background.

>JanAnimations? You could be mistaken for us because of how popular you are. Lullaby for a Princess? Pass.
Yeah, ponies are fortunately easy to make for the projects. They make the original franchise honorable without having all the tools or an official qualified drawers for making good entertainment. I guess accesible technology and the standarization of the pony models to draw have helped for such things to happen.

>I still standby that they have treated us way better then they have any right to as a bunch of old stuffy executives and what not, doesn't it has been perfect.
Nothing is perfect and you have reasons to believe those thoughts. Hasbro has recognized they have been experimenting in ways to promote their brands or make plans, I think dealing with the fandom dynamic was one of them and I see they call us to collab. They know it and cannot hide fans care for their survival, those gestures are paid with care as an exchange.
I think they have seen that fans care about their financial reports. I guess this may explain all the fanservice (and counter fan service as intentional as well) received over the years
