A thread about no communication on Elite Dangerous from Fdev that has nowhere to go? lol... kind'a feels a bit meta that you do communicate and you're having to defend yourself doing that.
Scraping OA's YouTube channel for "dirt" is creepy no matter who does it. For a Moderator it's unconscionable. At least use a non-moderator account.Great to hear!
Actually I mentioned that I have no major issues with you using it as it is your business to monetize after all. Be my guest.
And yet you do indeed use clickbait that results in higher view videos for your Elite content thanks to the related drama.
Here is another quick view at your Elite videos tagged under 1 year by YouTube. As you will see the click bait videos generate on average double the views per video than the rest of your Elite content published in the same period. And click bait related views have risen to amount around 20% of all your Elite related views for videos created less than a year ago. Granted your click bait trend is relatively recent, as was my decision to watch other content.
Views in thousands
As mentioned I don’t have any major issues with you using click bait to enhance your viewership and monetization. It is a fair tool and it is your business to manage after all. I just opted to watch other Elite content when you started doing that.
The fact you insist in down playing it is not helping too much to change my mind, although that is just probably me. Happy to hear you welcome all feedback though.
I'd agree if they were rummaging through the rubbish bins at the back of his house or his underwear drawer, but no, it's his publicly available videos. I don't think looking through someone's past content to justify criticism is creepy.
No info. It's the classic Frontier pattern.
It may be (in my most humble opinion) off-topic and discussing a poster rather than the post itself, both of which are against forum rules (link at bottom of page).
I think (i might be mistaken) the 7 year period refers not to the precise lifetime of the franchise, but to the amortization period for the LEP money
(the 7 years mark happened last year btw)
That would also mean if they would actually to release another payed DLC, the LEP-ers will incur them costs.
Slim chances tho
Your examples would be illegal, as well as creepy.
And as I said in my original response, I'd agree if that were happening. But it's not, is it.
Yes, we both agree it's creepy, but not illegal. GJ
I mean, I tried to talk about regional colloquialisms but no one cared. A bit like that time I started a thread after I realized that the Queen's subjects spell it "Alfa."
