Now Plotagon videos have to be posted on other platforms such as YouTube. This part of the website shut down in 2018 and users were called to download their plots before they were deleted from the site. They could be liked, commented on, and you could follow viewers.

The app had its own social media where you could create an account and 'plot' videos could be shared. Grounded plots have been hard-coded from appearing in anyone's feed and are viewed as uncreative. The Plotagon creators at first were not remotely amused by Grounded videos or their creators, actively deleting accounts when said creators start spamming the comments of their beloved 'Featured Plotagonists'. This is essentially why characters like Barney, Thomas the Tank Engine, and the Teletubbies were dropped almost completely. It is even harder to pull off non-human characters when using Plotagon than it is when using GoAnimate, due to lack of stock image compatibility. However, GoAnimate is more well-known, popular, and grounded videos are associated more with GoAnimate as such. These videos are especially known for the trouble-making kids usually being characters from TV shows aimed at young kids, such as Caillou and Dora the Explorer.

Primarily made by young kids, the 'grounded' videos detail the misadventures of various kids as they cause or get themselves into trouble in all manner of ways, followed by them getting busted and grounded ( grounded grounded grounded grounded grounded grounded grounded) by their parents for absurd lengths of time. Plotagon would just be another video-making website if the 'X Gets Grounded' videos didn't migrate to the site after GoAnimate switched to HTML5. Unlocking all the site's other features costs a mere $3. Posting a video is free, unlike GoAnimate.

Unlike GoAnimate, there is no watermark throughout the video or 'created with' logo at the end of each video. You can also make more characters and post your videos on YouTube. You must be at least 13 years old to join, but like everything else limited by the American Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), many younger than 13 just disregard this requirement and put in another birth year. Signing up is free on mobile devices (you have to pay on Windows or Mac), though you must pay if you want to have access to all of their backgrounds and characters, though you can make your own of the latter. Plotagon is a Swedish website that allows people to make their own animated videos.
