So on one hand we might get a lot of them all at once and a lot of them could be very good.
On the other hand these companies may be putting all of their eggs into one basket that may very well blow up in their face, and on top of that a lot of these shows are going to be made on the cheap side if they're going to be made in bulk. Which can work if creators can compromise and make appealing styles that use that workflow. On the other hand there may be a lot of burnout.
Basically, we may have a simultaneous 90s style economic growth animation boom AND the 60's-80's style dark ages of really really cheap animation.
I'd say this is a good time to shine for writers to make these shows stand out and a really bad time if you're a traditional animation artist who can't deal with the digital revolution taking over. There's always the chance that something could come out of left field, though, maybe Klaus will turn some eyes.
My advice is if you're a consumer, specifically hold out on subscribing to any new streaming services until something that specifically caters to you pops up. If enough people subscribe in bulk for that, even if they unsubscribe, that's still enough money for the services to make more (this is what kept ash vs evil dead going for a while). If you're a creator, make a ton of pitches and shill even if you're a rando, because if there's even a little bit of promise these services are going to lap it up. Just research what audiences they look for first.
