For me, this was just a test of my editing skills, both visually and audibly. I am by no means a professional at either of these. Compiling fads is a good way to have a large image and sound database to edit with. Plus, how many other people take time to add 6 stories to the University of Texas tower to fit YTMND on the side.
Well I guess I'm glad I'm not the first one to rant about this, again. But, I think this might be much worse than the K12 site. Yes, I think it might. Again, it comes across as a bunch of themed images with cut and paste of fad characters. No real though process involved, nothing clever about the manipulated images. If you're going to fad whore (from experience), put some time and effort into it. This is still better than 80% of the material on YTMND, though. :P
TASTLESS VOTE BAIT ON SENSORS. LOCK DOWNVOTE. FIRE, FULL SPREAD. God damn, I wish I could downvote harder on gayass multi-fad conglomorated bullsh*t. Seriously, I know your e-peen tingles when you make a "OMFGGGG YTMND TRIBUTE ^___^;;" site and see the mindless fanboys of this site bust one over it, but you're producing the TRUE kitsch of this website. PLEASE, DIE!
@MasterSitsu & syncan
Don't you think you it's a little hypocritical for you guys to go after a guy for making a fad comp especially after you guys have 5'd and fav'd other fad comps and have made rather popular fad comps yourelf? The guy's trying to become like you guys and you have to shoot him down. Remember folks it's thanks to the work of Sitsu and Syncan that Fad Comps are not only popular, but take up 5 slots in the hall of fame.
there are fad comps I do 5. but they are ones I believe either have a strong concept or at least were funny. I don't see that here, I think it looks cheap, it feels cheap, it isnt funny, and like the "YTMND Spelling Bee" various characters are used as fillers rather than actual jokes. THATS my problem with it, it isnt rage on fad comps as a whole, even though there are now TOO MANY of them to the point where it keeps new fads from thriving.
Oh to Syncan. If you're such a non-NARV fair voter: If the quality of YTMNDs is assumed to follow a normal (possibly left-skewed) distribution, shouldn't "Better than 80%" put you somewhere just above 1.5 standard deviations above the mean? In case you're a dumbass: You downvoted, change your vote to a 3-4 if you're not lying.
I check YTMND maybe once a week. My favorite sites are noise ones (see Kassius, Aegisreflector, alholm2000). I don't vote unless (a) it's exceptionally appealling to me (note, appealing is not necessarily original, or warranting accolades for artistic endeavor), or (b) the author is an *ssh*l*e, in which case it's 1'd.
"shouldn't "Better than 80%" put you somewhere just above 1.5 standard
deviations above the mean?" - No I'm pretty sure my measly 1 star still keeps that 80% standard deviation of cross-product matrix iso-formed geometric iterated result. *Insert more useless mathematical jargon that this programmer doesn't care to go on about for a YTMND site*
@MasterSitsu
You should have thought of that when you made runaway ytmnd. Newcomers to the site who look at your admittedly simple site would think, 'Hey if I make a simple YTMND like that, then maybe even the oh so mighty syncan would say that my work 'should achieve eternal greatness'' alas they would be gravely mistaken. You reap what you sow pplz, if you don't like cheap and simple fad comps, don't make them yourself.
So what if its a fad compilation? Huh? Isnt the entire YTMND site a fad compilation? The editing was good, the image quality high, the sound quality high, and I found it to be humorous. So what if its "unorigional"? I think this is a fine site no where near deserving of a 1 vote. Talk about swing voting...
mike, I havent made one since and dont intend to. However when I made mine there were only around 5 successful fad comps made before it - Cheers, YTMND 1945, YTMND Gameboy and YTMND.co.jp - plus I'd made hundreds of sites already before even making mine. users are signing up now and making compilations already... go ahead and call me elitist, but shouldnt someone avoid making a fad comp until they you know, actually use their Photoshop and audio skills to make SOME original material?
so mike, i just dont see your point. i mean, i've made 'shoe on head' sites, but now thats played out. so am i a hypocrite if someone makes a new one and i dont like it because its old and boring to me now? i dont think so. For the record, I actually LIKED k12, near the end there were clever frames and it made me laugh. I'm always open to be surprised, but its very rare now with fad comps and this one is no exception.
"honestly based on what? Because i honestly don't think this site deserves a
one." I don't either, hell, it has more effort than 90% of YTMNDs, but still, I think we should be encouraging people to be original and creative, not just churning out soulless fad comp after fad comp in a transparent vote grab.
twerent i refractor, you're entitled to your opinion and to think this rules if you like. i know what its like to be e-venged for being in the minority opinion. hell, when syncan first made 'paris hilton only had a brain' i hated it and suffered massive damage myself for being in the minority. but you're in the majority here...
IDT - i agree, and I'm willing to take the hits over it... but now that school is starting again a lot of the fairweather users will bottom out. unless i'm wrong and the alternate scenario presents itself - they all go to school and tell everyone about YTMND, and then all sites glorifying YTMND get 4.8 even if they dont really understand the fads within.
"Well... it takes SOME creativity to figure out how the next fad comp should be created.." no, it really doesn't require creativity. this YTMND wasn't creative or clever. A high score is so damn easy to achieve now (by following a cookie-cutter model on making generic fad compilations) that its no wonder demsthenes took that route.
That said, I'm in the rare spot of not hating a fad-pile site. Yeah it wasn't creative. Yeah it was obvious fad whoring. But something about where you put the "Yes" heightened the drama of the football theme. Your unoriginal hackery (which you should be ashamed of) inexplicably got a smile out of me.
