I totally understand why SLR has decided to move compilation videos to the sandbox section. With many newer studios spamming generic, low-quality content, it’s becoming harder to distinguish genuinely creative compilations from mass-produced videos. Now that SLR has established a preference for PMV compilations, some studios are spamming the platform with short PMVs, which I believe will overshadow and diminish the efforts of creators producing longer and more creative content.
I hoped that SLR’s decision would encourage compilation creators to put more thought into their work instead of simply copying and pasting clips and spamming them on the platform, ultimately harming the quality for other creators.
I agree that we are lacking an official statement about this situation, as many of us were unaware of the decisions until this post.
Personally, I’m a big fan of linear compilations, as I think they help maintain immersion in the videos. However, I understand why SLR might view this type of compilation as “low-effort” or generic content. That said, I hope SLR will continue to allow some creators to make linear compilations, especially those who have demonstrated creativity and gained popularity.
Finally, please stop spamming compilations. In my opinion, this remains the biggest issue and is detracting from the platform’s overall quality.
