User blog:XXSebbanXx/what i feel about this community

i havent been active in the mapping community for about a month now but that dosent mean i cant critizise this community. please dont take this as an insult because this is my personal opinion about this community

TMC & Other Google+ Group for Mappers
i dont know if tmc is still there. thats why i also include other google+ mapping groups. the mapping community is one of the few communities that are still on google+. im still in mapperverse and i've seen how everyone there host elections. it just dosent work that way. its full of circle tool haters. not saying that google+ is the peace of shit of the mapping community. it still has alot of nice people. the reason that im kinda against it is because they are the most toxic out of all

The Experience of Being a Mapper
i switched to mapping content on my old channel in july 2016. it was fun in the beggining. i had alot of fun and also learned a few paint.net features during that period. after a few months i started getting bored of mapping. starting a new series required me to make a perfect map with over 3 layers just so that it would look good. the mapping of today requires a highly detailed map and it makes it longer to make your videos. i took a break from youtube the entire summer that year which effected my channel. my return was harsh tho. i became less known in the community and defintly fell off the top 5 mappers from sweden list. by january this year i uploaded my last mapping video but then focused on my gaming channel which made me completely abandon sebbanmapping (i still decided to upload trash videos for a while). the community was also a pain in the ass. many toxic people from colenia, litteral bullies and the copyrighted music i had to use just to get a decent song. earlier i could just use kevin macleod music but i moved on to copyrighted music due to everyone else doing it

Mapping Discords
i have ofcurse been in mapping discords. the worst of them was mapper school which used to be good. its owner (pothauland) decided to bully me and zyxoriv helped him. they made racist jokes against swedes just to trigger me. zyxoriv has changed since then and same with pothauland but its still a pain in the ass. when kohali took over it turned into a litteral pile of shit. other mapping discords were also cancer. some were good. spork empire was a good one but most others were just boring

TFOE Wiki
i dont really have to say that much bad stuff about this community. this is actually a pretty decent community. the downsides are ofcurse the song contests and map games. i used to love the song contests (and made 2 song contest which both failed). i also once joined a map game but quit it really fast. this is ofcurse also where i met lukarion and tudor and when i met them they were new to this community. especially tudor were. also back then the live chat wasnt dead. its died out now due to discord servers for mapping. discord servers arent bad for this community, its just that i miss the live chat. this community is also dying slowly. no blog posts get over 10 replies unless its batran's blog posts. we also get less people creating new pages and stuff

overall this isint the worst community but the mapping community is defintly gonna be dead by 2028 due to these toxic anti-circle tool mappers and quality of the video becoming more important than the story
