I'm very "central sided" about this, but i wanna know how you guys feel about it.

Many who are good, do not receive much recognition and strive to see the light shine for them, and many make ridiculous constructions and/or destroy other people's constructions, they receive a lot of points or end up on the first page, it is quite sad.
The rock running the Graingy account. They upload quite a few trashposts of varying quality.
@OrangeConnor2 whos that
Anything to discredit Grain.
@OrangeConnor2 i would say yes
@TTL Sounds like something a biased person would say.
@OrangeConnor2 erm nuh uh
biased am not
@Dragoranos truth. 60% (no stat) of these platinum tryhards become too tryhard for upvotes.
After all, it’s what you should enjoy building, not about what others or the points that they give you.
@ShiroNeko yeah, it feels as if things have changed since I joined 4 years ago.
What about trashposts? Are those considered low effort?
@OrangeConnor2 what i mean is that the person who built the airplane or anything else didn't actually put any effort into it, just put some random stuff and tweaks and called it a day
But what one may consider high effort another may consider a trivial endeavor.
Where do I fall, in your view?
@OrangeConnor2 low effort at all
Also, perhaps define “low effort”. Do you mean low effort, or low skill?
Depends. Is it a “””First Plane”””(TM) getting hundreds? I’m judgemental. Is it a clever idea with less than stellar execution? I can be sympathetic.
Meh
If you're talking about upvotes, well I just don't care about them
@Rb2h Coward.
I am going to use alt identities to take over Poland.
@Graingy Don't put politics into this
@jamesPLANESii Damn that's genius
Can this be used to influence foreign politics?
@Krmometer i would say something about yours but nevermind
A person's value is clearly measured in their SP.com points.
It is susge and/or says a lot about our society
like I've said before, "m_atr*ders and yes-men" are the only reason these builds get recognition, Its best to realize that a lot of times upvotes are barely based off quality hence, they shouldn't stop you from enjoying the game
I only upvote builds where actual effort went into. I get it, you want to support these new guys but before you upvote, before saying "let's take this to front page", take a moment and look at the build itself and you will know how much effort actually went in there. I have seen multiple good builds by relatively new players go unnoticed while these first planes get to the front page.
