A little bitter aren't we?
You make some good points, but it doesn't bode well with me simply because you get very transparent.
For instance, you spend so long on your examples of what not to do (Half Life parody). So long, that it begins to feel like you actually are getting into your depictions of crap flashes. Like you are enjoying the direction it's going in.
You make a cock joke after listing it as a cheap way to get a laugh. You make fun of all the anime impersonators, but you're style is clearly a by product of it. I just get the impression that you are your own worst enemy. Your internet meme's and blatant self promotion don't help either. I smell a rat.
Good intention, but you're not the man for this job.
