Elite is not Doomed

True, but in my mind its like a litmus test of what people talk and think about in the game. As time has gone on, screenshots of planets and ships has become the most upvoted content- what about the other things in ED?
Screenshots have always been amongst the most upvoted content on /r/EliteDangerous, ever since the first public Alpha in Dec 2013.
 
In the case of KSP, the most popular videos are always those of great skill such as landing and returning from Eve, going to X with only SRBs and impresive designs (please note this is not determined by aesthetics).
The top ten posts of the year on /r/KerbalSpaceProgram (#7 is a video of great skill):


Just for fun, the top ten posts of the year on /r/EliteDangerous (none are in-game screenshots 😯 ):
 

So you think 600 views is a lot?

And all of them are dwarfed by popular KSP Youtube videos.

Just to make the point clearer, there are a bunch of KSP videos which outnumber the number of members in the KSP subredit.
 
I see you would like to move the goal posts now. We were discussing videos posted in reddit. If you want to discuss Youtube ones maybe we can go to watch Isonona´s for example, with tens of thousands of views regularly.

I merely stated videos, I had in mind youtube videos because they are more watched than Reddit posts so no goalpost there and 600 views really is not much.

Well we were discussing reddit posts and you literally said:

And I did post exactly several examples of the same in Elite´s subreddit. No more, no less.

The rest about Youtube etc is indeed goal post moving. Fun, but goal post moving.

No its not goalpost moving because I made no claims on Reddit videos, I merely forgot to say Youtube videos but since the vast majority of videos is watched from Youtube, I don't think it's a stretch to assume it was YT.

Well the context of the conversation was indeed the types of posts we see in reddit, so if your intent was to discuss Youtube videos you were goal-post moving indeed, weather you mentioned it or not ;)

That's not goalposting because it is you the one who is defining the initial goal.

You were not starting a statement on its own and in the vaccum though. You were directly responding to a conversation clearly focused on types of reddit posts, not Youtube ones.

Which only means the post was not specific enough and slighly OT, not goalposting, heck, I don't even have a reddit account...

That is fine no worries. The Youtube detour was fun as it was also.

Edit: Although @StuartGT may disagree some may think that not having a reddit account helps with your sanity 😁

Please quote me where I explicitly claimed that 1. there is a category and 2. that a specific group exist in this category.

Well, i already did that, but here we go again.

Elite currently lives from the casual crowd who are statisfied with good looking visuals and a screenshot generator. However, those of us who value gameplay and balancing are obviously unstatisfied
