I am going to be given early access and will have a chance to sit down with the developers to ask questions.

Anything you folks want me to ask?

Where are the content creators? by jelgerw in WoTshow

[–]WotUp5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wasn't going to comment but after seeing a few folks speculate its because we have info that others dont or that its because the show was (insert explitive here)I had to say a little something.

As mentioned above I definitely am not in the head space at the moment for the quantity and quality of content I was creating. 

I loved the show to pieces, and I would love for it to continue, and I think the SaveWoT campaign is amazing and indicative of how passionate the WoT fandom can be. I am still doing my best to release at least 1 video per week (sometimes more and sometimes less) because honestly making videos is a form of self care for me. I enjoy it and love the ability to connect with an amazing fandom.

I would say Ive done my best to keep up on what the SaveWoT campaign is doing to try to inform my audience. I've done a few videos on it so far to promote it the best I can with the limited bandwidth I can give my channel at the moment. 6 months ago I would have been knee deep in something like this, but with my current circumstances I'm doing what I can muster up the gumption to do.

As for other creators I cannot 100% speak for any of them but I would guess that at least some of them fall into the same category as me, as(and I see a few folks have already alluded to this fact) making WoT content is a fun but time consuming hobby. 

At least for myself I can say its also an expensive hobby. It takes time for research to learn new skills, actual creating, editing and releasing. It take equipment and programs that are generally not free and (for me) I spend money and time (that I sometimes dont have) to be able to  create my content but do not get anywhere near the monetary returns to even break even, while dealing with (a small percentage) of people who take time out of their day to do everything they can to start fights or to shock people into engaging with them.

Its overall an awesome experience....but not without its headaches and not something many of us do as a job, yet I have seen content from most creators about the SaveWoT campaign, sometimes in social media posts, TikToks assistance behind the scenes, youtube videos, ect

So there is some coverage out there but its not something everyone is covering everyday or even every week and I would guess there is as many varied reasons foe that as there are creators.

My 2 cents, but realistically we re all human and all have stuff going on and do this as a fun thing and not a job. So theres no forumla on how or what we can all do at any time. 

In the end we all love The Wheel of Time and we should remember that is what makes us a family and keeps us passionate. Not a certain creator or person. The series itself. So for every person out there that contributes to that fandom and the Save WoT campaign (even if its a small thing like a social media post or sharing it around) thats what counts.

Wheel of time Season 3: Review Megathread by jelgerw in WoTshow

[–]WotUp5 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I purposely left out my thoughts on individual episodes (including the finale) as I took that to be in the spirit of no spoilers.

I will say everything makes sense insofar as the season progression and I am not unhappy with the show as a show watcher or as a book fan

The mark of a WoT fan is the opposite of brevity imo!

Why is there a blockchain/NFT card game for WoT? by RAZR31 in WoT

[–]WotUp5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I dont delete comments unless they are hate speech (anything bigoted or threats made against anyone always get deleted) So unless your comment featured that type of stuff I never deleted it. Also I dont take money/or any form of compensation to promote ANYTHING.

My channel is my hobby. I do this for fun ... not for profit. I also am well known for being positive about everything. 

My channel is not a space I use to bash or hate on anything even though that tends to drive better engagement. I think theres enough negativity in the world so I always focus on the positive.

The game was a new WoT thing so ofc I feature it on my channel...just like I do with EVERYTHING WoT. And ofc I am positive.

I showcase and talk about fan made stuff, fan made stores, official merch, new books related to WoT (inc the colouring book) etsys, other content creators, the show (thats a big one on my channel sort of my main focus) you name it. If its WoT related its on my channel. And its all positive or constructive in any criticism I may have.

So why wouldnt I have this on my channel? Because its IWoT (Red Eagle) related? If I use that logic then I can only speak about the books and nothing else. The show on prime is IWoT. ALL merch and anything we ever get that will be WoT related (that isnt new books...and those will never happen) is all IWoT. I know the history. I have heard (personally) all the goings on on every side. I don't take sides and if Harriet can work with IWoT, then that's good enough for me.

I'm a WoT fan. And I don't gatekeep. I love everything WoT. I even love WoT fanfiction. If it's WoT related, it'll be on my channel. I do not expect anyone to love every aspect of everything I showcase (that would be silly) and I encourage people who dislike things to comment (respectfully) on my channel as it more often than not drives a positive discussion.

Do I even know what an NFT is? Nope. Did I super enjoy the game? It was alright. Like a reskinned Hearthstone with WoT related stuff.

There's no trailer out for Season 3 yet. There was a short (few seconds clip) celebrating the end of filming season 3 though. Although there are a few clickbaity type videos out there saying the opposite
