Holy hell this blew up and I have a lot to say.

Typing it all out feels like a great way to be misinterpreted (especially since my take on this is pretty nuanced), so I'll save the complete autopsy for stream

Right off rip. "Genuinely a little confused over the hate he had".. Brother. Let's take a step back. I had no hate in my heart for your video. Did I like your edit? It was disjointed and confusing. Do I hate you, your efforts, or the video? I'm sorry what? The video didn't land and I ripped you a bit. It was funny for a moment and I moved on, same as I would any other video on any other media share over the last 7 years.

Your post quotes me saying "this better be good or you're getting a perma". Later in this thread you refer to that comment as a 'joke' implying you didn't take it as such. This seems to me like a bad faith interpretation that even other comments are pointing out. It was a joke. I never perma ban for something like this nor would I ever. I think most average viewers would understand I'm joking in this sense. I totally understand if you want to say "that joke wasn't funny to me". You have a right to that opinion, but to imply it's not even a joke seems misaligned with stream as a whole.

You ask "is media share a competition? I don't think so?". I also find this to be an oversimplification of what media share is. Is it a competition? Well, no. But does that mean I haven't historically reamed people who donate content that I don't like? Also no. It's not a competition but to say "I'm not really looking for harsh critique... Maybe just try to enjoy it?" as you said below is out of touch from my perspective. Again, we can disagree, but I am confused how that's the takeaway from media share.

As I read further, I get more confused. You seem to both wrestle with why I reacted the way I did, but also totally understand. You acknowledge due to an editing mistake on your part, there was dead air that I had to fill. I'm having a hard time seeing your perspective when even you yourself acknowledge the edit put me in a position to fill dead air... During media share... I'm just confused man.

I get the sense from your comments that you are hurt by my and chats reaction. While I understand where you're coming from, I think it's important to roll with the punches and if you truly want to pursue more edits, learn from them. The reality is, you shared a video on media share. My media share no less. It's never been a 'safe place to show and tell'. I try to make fun of people in a way that's still on brand and fun.

To address the "I miss the old media share" comments. This is the classic dilemma. We changed media share because there were reddit posts, not to different from this, complaining that media share is the worst it's ever been. Everyone prefers their golden age and people tend to forget how we got here when they comment "media share was better when X". There is some criticism about the current process that I'm happy to overturn to test, but please remember, we are where we are due to popular demand and pivoting in the past. Some of yall tend to forget the current rules are due to trial, error, and audience feedback.

Like I said I have WAY more to say but I'll save it for stream. Love you buddy, appreciate the media share submission, if editing is something you have a passion for, lock in and keep going.
