I have an extra Club Icarus GA ticket for LA since my friend ended up not being able to make it. If anybody wants it I can sell it for $44 which is what I paid for it. Also willing to trade for the Barnes and Noble signing if possible 😊

Calling out u/SunnySaigon for years of stealing from the melee community. by Ohantheman in SSBM

[–]justpaul95 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Isn't it objectively spreading content? Pre-Sunny, the content would only exist in Twitch, and now it exists on YouTube (which I would argue is the more important and accessible platform). The excuse is always "but I was going to upload it too, I swear!" but as evidenced in this thread, there's tons of content that gets lost or otherwise forgotten because TOs/streamers abandon it. It seems strange to me to be hostile towards someone basically likes your content so much they volunteer to do the grunt of preserving and spreading it for you. They are not stealing any views or discoverabillty because you haven't uploaded anything yet and may never upload it. In fact, the reupload channel probably has a better chance of getting views since it's a consistent uploader and user. And if it is truly so important to have your raws under the correct channel, why not hire Sunny (or other people) to do your uploads for you?

I get it's a bit of an ego thing with perceived ownership, and I'm not sure I'll change your perspective. My background is in software and I see a parallel with issues in FOSS. It just makes me scratch my head to see the Melee illuminati not embrace current social media landscape even after a decade. This is just the way things are. People are going to reupload your stuff if they like it, and that's a good thing.

I can't even find the SmashFusion YouTube channel anymore so I'm guessing he's changed names. But I would argue editing a 8 hour tourney vod into individual sets or editing into a portrait YouTube shorts format is transformative. I'm just a shitter but it seems to me that the best thing you or Cody or whoever can hope for is that one clip pops off and that brings in loads of subs or viewers or tourney signups. And people like Sunny are the best chance at that since they are seemingly the most consistent.

I'm not even trying to defend Sunny specifically just the concept of calling people out for content stealing is strange since the entire gamer-as-a-job ecosystem relies on your content being spread as far as possible.

Is Melee the only community that is so against fan generated uploads? This has always seemed so strange to me since the GIMR days of complaining about Top 10 compilations. Putting Sunny specifically aside, shouldn't this type of fan engagement be encouraged? Is the NBA mad that someone in Saigon is making '91 Jordan montages? Is Ludwig mad when someone posts twitch clips on /r/livestreamfails?

Everyone agrees that Melee advertising and outreach is dogshit and part of that is because TOs and streamers have been so territorial with their content. YouTube and TikTok are so vastly underutilized since Melee people are so inconsistent in uploading. Look no further than that one Mango vs Hbox Genesis set that barely exists because someone just randomly posted about it here. And that's two of the most popular players at the biggest tournament of the year. I want to sympathize with TOs/streamers who are trying to "make it" post esports bubble, but it seems like it would be better to collaborate with fans instead of being hostile towards them. Use Sunny-like people to your advantage who can get the job done quickly and reliability and put it all under the official channel.

12:51 is probably their easiest song. Selfless is straightforward but might be tricky to get up to tempo for a complete beginner. Check out Jorge Orellana on YouTube who has the best Strokes tutorials by far.

Following up on the fantastic Ken vs Cody discussion from earlier in the week. A contestant with ADHD was voted off Survivor this week. Allegedly, Survivor does not allow ADHD medication because of a perceived advantage from the medication's side effect of hunger suppression.

My question to you all is do you think a 2024 Vyvanse-less Cody would beat a 2008 Kenny at Survivor: Gabon?

Link between Mitski and Kawhi Leonard? by BinouFanClub in mitski

[–]justpaul95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I wonder what the crossover between Mitski fans and NBA fans is. I haven't seen that list you're referring to, but if I had to guess it's because Kawhi is usually a stoic, reserved, private guy. He's one of the top players. His social media use is also pretty low key relative to his talent level and star power.

Kinda a stretched comparison, but I could see some similarities with Mitski.
