Reading the first post it seems the original author of this thread is complaining about non SLRO content. So, what is he asking for? Is he asking for this content to be removed? Is he asking for some of it to be removed? As someone who reads comments for my own content on the daily, as well as the forums - it is sometimes frustrating as the questions commonly fall into one or more of these categories:
1) Stop doing content that group X likes, make more content that group Y likes, I.E., 'my wants are more important'
2) Vague, impossible, uninformed, just flat out false
3) Rude
On point 3...which is a big one that I have been noticing a lot lately.
I have seen people complain often about not being heard, or being ignored. It is often these same people (not always, but often) who are the biggest assholes I have seen. Keep in mind it is human beings who read these comments, who makes these films, who work on the content you guys are passionate about. I honestly can't believe the level of constraint SLR has with dealing with some of you, sometimes I have to opt to say nothing as how I really want to respond could be troubling. There have been creators who have opted to remove comments entirely from their channels and many creators (most) choose not to talk to their community at all.
This isn't directed at you, or necessarily anyone in particular...it is just something I have noticed. You are talking to human beings, and yes they do read what you are saying. A little kindness goes a long way. People feel confident when they feel supported and it is easier for them to create for those who are welcoming. Those who are bitching and crying may receive enough just to shut them the hell up for a while to get rid of the annoyance.
Also, just incase this is somehow dissected improperly...I do not speak for SLR and am speaking only from my point of view.
