User blog:Asgard6791/The New Mapperdonia Theory

A lot of users have been making theories about how they think Mapperodnia will be in the future, so I decided to make my own. I read all the month pages and the timeline and based these prediction off of what has happened in the past.

Introduction
This theory is about how I think Mapperodnia will function in the future, because all the theories about this I have currently seen I feel are unrealistic. This is called the New Mapperdonia theory because this is about New Mapperdonia AKA google+.

Eventually Google+ Will Become Centralized
The wiki used to be decentralized with all of the factions. Eventually they all united and the wiki became centralized. Google+ mapping communities are younger than the wiki so they are less developed but will eventually catch up and become centralized(Google+ is progressing and growing quickly). This is already happening, this week the Google+ Cooperation Agreement was made which is focused on centralizing google+ and bringing an end to the childish conflicts that occur there.

Decline/Irrelevance of the Wiki
As google+ communities grow, more of them will overtake the wiki. Arguably some google+ communities already have already suppressed the wiki. The wiki won't die, but it will come to be irrelevant in the politics of Mapperdonia. Many g+ communities have popular, influential, fast growing mappers leading them or supporting them, and this is what makes them grow so fast. The wiki has no popular, influential, fast growing mappers leading us or supporting us.

Colonization of Other Websites
From 2012 to 2016 the only major community for mappers was the wiki, but in 2016 Super LV started to get mappers to spread onto Google+. Mappers will most likely move to other websites as well, in a way “Colonizing” them. The next website that will probably see this happen is Reddit. Why Reddit? Reddit is similar to Google+ in some ways. Why would mappers move to other websites? It could be for a number of reasons. Most likely the reason why LV got mappers to go onto google+. LV didn't like the wiki so he made his own community. Maybe some mapper like Bace Bulgarian Mapping(Who is very popular and has lots of influence) doesn't like google+ so they make there own community on some other website. Or maybe its because mappers decide the website there on is cancer so the leave to start their own. When mappers first go to a new website it will start out unsable and decentralized but will eventually centralize itself like the Wiki did and what Google+ is doing.

Future Growth of Mapperodnia
Moore's law says that technological progression will increase more and more each year. Something similar can be said for the subscriber counts of mappers. Mapping was made in 2008, it wasn't until 2016 that a mapper got 10,000 subs. In 2017 the number doubled to 20,000. Now to be in the top 10 most subscribed mappers you need more than 10,000 subs.

Future Styles and Popular Mappers
Mappers likely to be popular and influential in the near future(2017-2019) are most likely Cheezewafflz Mapping, Proxima, Imperalis, Carthpian Mapper, Imperial Mapping, Japanese Mapping, Portuguese Mapping, and Bace Bulgarian Mapping. Each of the mappers just stated are growing extremely quickly and have the potential to suppress Romain Mapping.(Romanian Mapping has quit) the Mappers who are most likely to suppress Romanian Mapping are Cheezewafflz Mapping, Japanese Mapping, or Bace Bulgarian Mapping, and they will most likely do so in 2017 or early to mid 2018. The most popular styles in the near future will be Eradiate style, Romanian Mapping style, and LV style. In the far future of Mapperdonia(Anything beyond 2019) its really hard to say what mappers will be popular and what styles will be used, but in the very far future I think the 3 main core styles Eradiate style, Romanian Mapping style, and LV style will have evolved and changed so much they won't be recognizable and they may become so different that mapping splits into many different types of genres. The most popular mappers beyond 2019 are almost impossible to say, the most likely ones are popular mappers who have managed to stay popular for a long time already such as Void Viper.

2020 and Beyond
At this point we can only guess, by 2020 almost all popular mappers will likely be replaced, and the most popular mappers will probably be over 50,000 subscribers. Many different websites will have communities for mappers and each will be at different stages of centralization. The 3 main styles will be unrecognizable and extremely different from each other(This could lead to conflict) Mappers may even go to other websites for video publishing (Maybe youtube gets shut down or something).

Death of Mapping??
I think this may never happen. Mapping has grown so large it's almost impossible for every mapper to quit, and if every mapper did quit, someone in the far future could see mapping videos and revive it. Its more likely that Mapperdonia could be overrun by shity mappers or mappers start to run out of original ideas.
