The industry is absolutely shit right now. Should I try uploading like animation content on youtube or something? At least is it easier than trying to get a job at a company? 3d animator btw.

Everyone is quick to assume animators will be the first to be taken by ai.
However, I feel it will not be the first, and instead jobs like workers in mcdonalds and fast food places. Those are much easier to replicate, especially with the advancement of robots. However the main thing is, for the customer nothing changes. They order, get their food and drive off. There's no difference between a human doing that and a robot doing that. Same with cleaning, tax managing, maybe even doing business. Those are all jobs that are very vulnerable to ai replacing them.

However with animation, it's different.
Most everyone hates ai, especially watching it. While it is easy to create an ai video, the chances of that video actually doing well are close to 0%.
But what about fruit love island? And other famous AI videos?
Those kind of videos actually have more hate than like in people. The amount of people I saw ranting about fruit love island was like hundreds. I haven't seen a single video talking about how good it is.

So what I'm saying is, don't blame ai taking your job as an animator. If the company you worked for used ai, I'm sure they were doomed to fail to begin with.
Disney invested a lot into ai, and they've been getting TONS of backlash.

So keep animating. Don't give up
People watching youtube or tv will 100% skip ai content because it's just so hated and disgusting to look at. AI will NEVER be able to capture the quality look of actual animation. It doesn't understand that mistakes can be a good thing in animation, it doesn't understand body emotions like we do, and specific animation techniques like smear frames.

I have proof over discord, but if I submit a ban request to roblox copyright will it actually do anything? The only proof I have is one photo of them on discord decompiling my game.
