This is all correct, but also notice that the most recent video among those that break the pattern of animated videos is 7 years old. When we’ll have accumulated a lot of animated videos those old videos will be relegated at the bottom and have approximately zero impact on how people view the channel, other than being old curiosities. Also, an interesting datapoint that contradicts your thesis (although I agree with you, I wanted to point that out): VSauce. Look at his older videos. And they are a lot more!
One thing that I could do is to simply hide the minecraft videos for a while, till the channel has more animated videos, so it can have a more consistent aesthetic early on, and then unhide them later. I don’t like this option but I will consider it (in part I dislike it because public from the old videos is saying “wow you hath returneth!”)
