HELP WANTED!!!!!!

I am now on strike, I will not contribute anything to newgrounds until my question is answered to anyone who reads this, pease answer my question, I am in dire need:

I love newgrounds. I love alot of the flash on it. I can usualy see the effort put up to make the flash good, but now, I have a problem: I see some flashesthat are really bad, no effort, nothing, and they get better scores than the movies I put effort in. Take for example the Letter B, someone makes some piture that anyone can do in seconds, the reveiwers (for reasons like tricking other people into wasting their time into seeing the movie, or them just trying to be funny) vote 5 and reveiw 10 so that it becomes really successful.
I have also noticed some of the flashes on the front page, by artists who have never made front page before have the same quality as my movies, but people still critisize mine by saying things like "it's too short," when there are plenty successful movies that last less than a minute. The animation is good, graphics, everything! There is something I'm missing, but I don't know what. Please help.

Strike.

If you have an answer please post here

If it is good it won't matter if it's short. If it is bad it won't matter if it is short. Just make your movies better and listen to what people say in their reviews. Just by looking at the picture used for your little rant I could say that you should have used a bigger brush for the outlines and the words on the poster. The hand's fingers just look downright sloppy. The thumb should be on the other side of the stick like a normal human hand. Also the way you have the poster sign colored makes it look like it should be a sphere or something.

Basically what I am saying is to take a drawing 101 course or something, it would really help the quality of your movies and you'll have a good foundation to work from.

Thanks for the help. This is not a rant, though. I'm just asking a question on hope of making myself better. I just checked out the "drawing 101" course, and It had bad graphics to offer, so I'll just practice more, and I will not listen to reveiws posted by trolls, they never help, but I DO listen to other reveiws!
