User blog:XXSebbanXx/proof mapping is not dying

So now you know i once thought mapping was dying

but i have evidence to support mapping not dying

but in order to understand it we dive back in history to see what went "wrong" with out community

In 2008 a 12 year old called Mervue made the first ever Mapping Video. Back then it was most likely hated but now we all know that without the video he made mapping would most likely not exist. In 2012 it started to become popular but in 2013 it started to grow faster then ever before. By 2014 we had many good mappers who made simple videos in paint.net and ms paint. This all changed in 2015 when some mappers started to improve their videos by upgrading their maps and many others did the same. Now there would be layers and it would look better but it would take up more time if you used paint.net since .pdn files had to be converted. 2015 was Still a Great Year for the Community because of the many new mappers who made good videos. In 2016 Mappers quitting became more common. I think its because of the time it takes to make a mapping video today compared to back in 2014. 2016 was still a good year for tfoe wiki and mapping communities on google+. Its also the year i joined tfoe wiki. Going to 2017 it got a bit worse. In 2017 more and more Mappers on Google+ became toxic circle tool haters. Especially those in the old TMC. We still got a great year in tfoe wiki with members like Luka and Tudor joining. I actually remember when they were both new to this wiki and then months later they got more edits than me. Also in 2017 we saw old Mapper Quit. This didnt mean the death of mapping tho since new mappers appeared. Also During 2017 we had the horrible alt maker Rodeblur and also the immature MSG. Now to 2018 and whats going on here? Ofcurse Mapping is changing. None of the Current Mappers will Map in 10 years if it continues like this. Also Mappers on Google+ have became more toxic then ever before

here is the proof

mapping is just changing
