An animator's rant on why motion smoothing is terrible for animation:
I once saw a TV at an IKEA playing old 1960s Tom & Jerry cartoons with frame-doubling and motion-smoothing on. Made me very uncomfortable.
Yeah, I could never put my finger on why I didn't like it before, but then I saw this video and everything made a lot more sense.
Although, with the recent AI boom I could see this process improving a lot (such as what DLSS is doing)... but I would still want an artist in the loop for movies/shows making it look just right, rather than my TV trying to guess how characters should move around between frames.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Ugh... It's like watching TV at my parents' home on their Smart TV with all the stupid bells and whistles enabled. I can't stand these things.
This is grounds for a class action suit
Honestly worse than ads
I kinda like motion smoothing, especially when there is a setting that allows you to adjust it and not just a toggle between vaseline and off. A lil bit goes a long way, but I do think it's a good feature!
You are, of course, entitled to your very wrong opinion
It's just on some TCL tvs that have Roku built in. This might be TCLs fault, they control their updates
