Where the fuck is the next Bakshi?

No Kickstarter or Patreon could possibly front enough money for that.

Trash like Bee & Puppycat gets made by having a simple artstyle with a single big name artist that appeals to hipsters.

Making something that's artistic requires ten times the money but will get ten times less attention.

Not really, shit like RWBY was made by one motherfucker initially and subsequent episodes had a budget on par with Aqua Teen Hunger Force by like 3 or 4 people. If they didn't go for a shit anime artstyle and stuck with simple 3d or like you said, easy to animate models, I can't imagine it would be impossible to produce a quality product.

I'll do it
Give me a sec, opening Flash

I've seen patreons for projects reach like 40000 a month, maybe if it was a monthly thing and you got the team in a house but honestly that's risky as fuck would animators be willing to all live together and probably work all the time just to control the means of production?

Getting a team of people to commit to the project would be very difficult, as it is a huge risk because of how life-consuming and costly producing the show may be. Artists are mostly focused on their own personal lives, well-being, and path to secure advancement in their careers.

For artists to work on an independently produced show, they would either have to be well-compensated to feel comfortable working, or really REALLY care about the project they're doing.

I can't speak for already-hard-working artists, but the people from school I've been trying to get to work on a project with me give me non-answers, and don't sound confident, and want to keep to their own current commitments and habits. But, when I invite them out to a movie, they jump on. So I guess people either want to feel SUPER-ASSURED about doing a project, or continue to dick around with art at home. At least the artists who haven't yet entered professional environments. But yeah.

You can give a wealth of online tools. You can't easily give artists a working mindset.
And that's why you don't see many independent animation work, because some people are still living too comfortably to make decent work.

I saw a patreon project for the new generation of animators to come together and create animations, but they're only in the $30-50 range. Kind of depressing, honestly.
