I've been thinking a bit about animatronicswarehouse, Aaron Fetcher, and the ethics of putting rare or lost media behind a paywall. Last month, animatronicwarehouse launched a subscription service in which for $30 a month you can receive rare prints of CEI characters and shows. This is quite similar to Aaron Fetcher's premium video service where for $65 you have access to private videos of Aaron's current projects, old CEI show footage, stories, or just general updates. Aaron's service is pretty notorious for being needlessly complex for subscribers and easy for "thieves" to just screen record.
What really gets me though is the wealth of lost/rare footage sitting there collecting dust. Many of the digitized films from CEI's earliest shows sit behind a paywall. I wouldn't be as frustrated if premium subscribers received videos a month or two earlier than people watching the main channel to make both parties happy, however it seems that many won't be released for quite some time, will only have very short samples posted to lure more people to the premium service, or worst case, not seen at all.
Back to animatronicwarehouse. I'm concerned that this new service will become very similar to Aaron's service, albeit much less bloated. AW already knows Aaron, I mean, they did a good amount of work together to create one of, if not THE best RAE shows. They seem close and I'm worried that he'll start taking cues from Aaron. Yesterday he announced that he's selling posters of rare, high quality images of CEI shows that are presented as a must-have collector's item. Now, I don't really have a problem with this. My and other people's complaints start with the price. Most posters cost $120 with the most expensive costing $195 for a poster of the RAE that looks extremely similar to one that can easily be found on showbizpizza.com. You can also buy a $150 picture of the Hard Luck Bears that can be found online as well.

AW's Poster vs Photo posted by Hourly Rock a-fire Explosion (@HourlyRock) on twitter
As an advocate for archiving all forms of media for future generations, I cringe a little every time I see a rare photo with a huge watermark and blur on it or footage cut off and interrupted with a plug for a subscription service. It feels exploitive to make profit off the rarity of something, especially in a fandom where most people weren't alive when these early animatronics were up and running and can only recapture that magic through photos and video. Part of the reason animatronics are still popular is because new generations can look back at them or find current operating ones. I've seen people in YouTube comment sections from countries that never had Showbiz Pizzas or Chuck E. Cheese and yet they can enjoy it because videos and photos allow them to interact and enjoy these things. If we put the past behind a paywall, what will we have to discuss in the future?

as a question for the PTT/RAE/Showbiz community, why is CEC regarded as a super toxic community like my autistic in Christ we all like the same furry animatronics

so ever since ive been getting back into animatronics (pizza time theater, rockafire explosion) ive had this question in mind ever since fnaf got me into the rich history behind them
full description of choices
Positive: Brought more people wanting to save old animatronics, more nostalgia and interest into the scene, more awareness and efforts to save old animatronics
Negative: Caused people to not take animatronics seriously anymore, only viewed them as scary and just to be the butt of jokes by people and especially, (mostly young) kids, animatronics not being desired anymore by entertainment facilities/attractions and parks due to the interest in the games
personally i think their are both positives and negatives to fnaf's impact on the animatronic scene. for me fnaf has made me care a lot about animatronics and their history, especially the cec/showbiz and disney ones (it was my cranium command hyperfixation that triggered it to come back again recently thank u buzzy) but i would love to hear your thoughts!

I am kinda outside of the animatronic community anymore but I鈥檓 curious if anybody has any idea who the VA鈥檚 of the characters in the Hard Luck Bears/Country Bear Jubilee are?
I have a list in my head of whos who but I wonder if anyone actually knows or has a more educated guess:
Billy Wilbur: Aaron Fechter
Billy Bob: Jeff Howell or John Cederberg?
Billy Boy: no clue (Clutch Bandmember)
Billy Bill: Burt Wilson
Pete Thornsberry: Burt Wilson?
Repete Thornsberry: Aaron Fechter
Mama Grandbags: no clue (the VA of Queenie?)
Gooney Bird: Aaron Fechter
Mortimer: Aaron Fechter? (John Cederberg?)
Buford: John Cederberg? (Burt Wilson pitched down?)

Psst! Hey! Yeah you!
An email for Aaron's premium subscribers got leaked with a link to an unlisted video of new footage of the Wolf Pack 5 during the 1978 IAAPA.
youtube
Get your screen recordings while you can. I know I've got mine. And remember, don't tell Aaron!

Okay, I know horror animatronics don't count, but I don't find these two scary or horror like, I like their design and I like to see them more as genuine clowns then horror clowns , plus Freddy doesn't have a character so I can interpret him as whatever, these two mean alot to me
