Grounded for Nothing Videos

Grounded for Nothing Videos (also known as (Character) Gets Grounded for Nothing Videos) are a type of videos that are found on GoAnimate/Vyond. These videos are made as a pilot (or sometimes, a season premiere) for any grounded series from the GoAnimate community. These videos had gotten some praise originally, but they have become stale (and they have been for several years, actually).

Why You Shouldn't Ground Anyone for Nothing and Why These Videos Should be Grounded (Why They're Trashy)

 * 1) To start off, these videos involve a character (usually one the creator hates) gets grounded by their family for no reason.
 * 2) *The family never gets punished for what they did.
 * 3) Carrying on from pointer 1, the characters used (while there are original ones) are copyrighted characters from popular and unpopular media. Adding on, some users would use pictures of them, instead of creating them accurately and when trying to create said characters, they would look different from how they actually look. However, this is GoAnimate/Vyond, still they could’ve made them more accurate.
 * 4) As stated above, these videos are usually the first episode in a grounding series, which makes them even worse, and is the worst way to start a grounding series in general.
 * 5) The ending of these videos has the troublemakers going to their rooms crying, which is annoying.
 * 6) This video is filled with spamming, with one of the relatives saying "grounded" more than once and with the characters spamming the "a" in their crying line.
 * 7) The ending is also mean-spirited, as the relatives laugh at the child crying. This is simultaneously unnecessary and immature.
 * 8) The siblings also ground the character, when they're either not old enough to do it, or don't need to be in the video at all.
 * 9) Quantity over quality: Literally all of these videos are exact duplicates of each other and they even flood Wrapper LVM websites on Replit and Heroku. All of them have their scripts plagiarised and they're done extremely lazily.
 * 10) *Weatherstar (and his clones) are notorious for making these videos, as they're made of generic Mario enemies or dark versions of characters that don't need to exist, such as Dark Bowser and Rookie.
 * 11) *Some of them use the international voices only to make the videos even worse.
 * 12) These can be made out of users who may or may not deserve it, which would be against the YouTube community guidelines regardless of the excuses made in regards to them being criminals.
 * 13) The titles of these videos can be misleading, as the description may state the reason why the video was made (i.e: the user was stalking or harassing the uploader), which contradicts the video itself and is a missed opportunity to address that outside of the description or to make the video anything but this.
 * 14) Every single one of these videos is a missed opportunity of making an original grounding video, regardless of who made it or if it's a joke or not. If you ground someone for no reason, then you don't deserve to be a parent.
 * 15) Some of them can be shorter than the intro of the video itself, rendering it pointless to include an intro for 20 seconds of something that's redone hundreds of times over.
 * 16) Just like the other grounded video variants, those videos are one of the few reasons, Vyond went downhill.
 * 17) These videos are so bad that they don't deserve to have any redeeming qualities at all, due to their abusive and unfunny nature.
