You seriously need to quit being the white knight of the Mapping Community.

Mapping is not dying; it is growing, yet growing in low quality mappers.

The mappers who actually are good have mostly quit mapping, or been on an indefinite or unannounced hiatus. This opens up many opportunities for poorer mappers to grow, thus they become the inspiration for new mappers, which are equally bad.

In conclusion, the reason mapping is getting worse is because those who put effort into their videos do not have commitment to their videos, and fall out of relevancy. The ones that don't put effort become the dominant mappers since they are the ones actually uploading, and new mappers form from these, so the low quality reproduces in a way.
