A note to both of you.

In Response To: This is what I was talking to Eli about... (munky-058)


: More like annoying as hell.

: Nothing against you, Zylon, but your video is a perfect example of videos
: that didn't earn their views, and that don't deserve them.
: You take two minutes to regurgitate information that this month+ old video
: presents in 26 seconds: http://youtu.be/CdRg76WMAac

: THAT'S a video that deserves views, because it presents information in a
: timely manner, without an annoying intro/logo, and whether it was entirely
: new at the time or not, it was uploaded over a month ago.

: Also, if you've only recorded for a minute, and you realize that you forgot
: to turn off the notifications, it shows how lazy the effort was to make
: the video if you don't bother to turn off the notifications and start
: over.

: And if you say "I didn't know that there were videos on it
: already", simply typing "halo 4 spartan laser glitch" in
: the YT search bar reveals three videos that already cover the subject.
: Keep that in mind next time you find out something interesting.

Wow. I hadn't realized we'd hired an official forum originality enforcer.

I get your point(s) - but I think you really need to work on your presentation. His video didn't have huge "I FOUND THIS FIRST" notices all over it - yes, it's true that there are other videos showing off this glitch, but I, for one, had never seen them - I appreciate the fact that Zylon brought this here. And while he might have spent more than 26 seconds showing off the glitch, I don't think he ventured into the realm of unacceptably long.

I find it interesting that you look at the notification popping up and see lazy filming, while I see a funny little sidenote with his 'goddammit gambles'. But I guess you were already predisposed to view his video as a waste of your time, so anything that wasn't 'perfect' was fair game for criticism.

Look - I'm totally fine with people calling out injustice when they see it... but I disagree with you that this video is unfairly taking video views it shouldn't have. And I STRONGLY disagree with your choice of approach.

That said - Zylon, your response was over-the-top rude and pretty offensive (to the forum in general, not just munky); you can be displeased with how someone addresses you, but you don't need to be a jerk about it.

This whole thread makes me disappointed. :(
