I always liked google because they started out as underdogs and they managed to become this monster that they are today without, however, being pretentious about it, they did remember their roots. And i think we should appreciate them more, we should promote that attitude because it is hard to not become this greedy money making machine - i will give examples later on.
However, we are promoting google, indirectly, through the use of their services and all they stand for(all of which i enjoy) and some may think that it is enough but i feel that we should go that extra mile for google, because they deserve it, they also did that themselves everytime, can anyone remind me of a time when google didn't account for it's users first rather than profit?
But let's get back to square one, the reason why i even started this, is because i feel google has lost some of it's initial principles and by that i mean the new "5 second add" at the start of a video on youtube((this was written prior to google merging google+ and youtube)), yeah we all love it, but to be honest it isn't even that bad, but it does mark the beginning of what could become something much worse.
And i feel NOW is the time to help OUR NIGGA OUT! (you're white ) Because google is our nigga, and he deserves to be reminded we have faith in him, and not turn our back on him. Google is probably one of the best niggas on the internet, give him some love, remind him of the days he fought for a clean look on their search engine and how he should do the some for youtube. Aren't those recommended nikky minaj videos on fucking the weeknd songs enough? Nobody can actually complain about that, you're making a buck and all we have to do is ignore that, which isn't even hard considering it's not in our "working space".
But anyway i have been going on about google so much that some of you may think i've been hired or something so let's look at two other "new kids on the block". First one, and the one i've grown to hate is facebook, and i know i'm not the only one. To be honest i never really liked facebook to begin with, but i never hated it, they just had a different approach rather than google. They were more about the goal and less about the means and to be honest, as long as the goal would have been a user-friendly page i would still only be on my "fuck you" phase; I remember when they introduced the new look of facebook, i was left with the impression that i can turn back if i don't like it maybe it was because of "try it" or something like that, i have a bad memory, sorry, and motherfucker, i can't, i even searched on google, and that nigga didn't give me anything conclusive, how fucked up is that? This has been a while ago and i just let it go. But honestly what i fucking hate is that i have to see every stupid shit a friend posts or "shares" and i know, i read somewhere, that you can disable them, but why the fuck aren't they disabled to begin with? Let me choose if i want to see every single thing a friend does *cough* crush *cough* you fucking stalker *cough*. And to be honest i think the "share" feature is a great thing, as long as it wouldn't have a life long history of abuse, i mean come on! And then there's the games notification, i have had it with those motherfucking games on that motherfucking facebook, i heard you can disable them aswell, got my dick wraped up in the ceiling fan((i have found out how to disable them eventually, or maybe they just introduced it after i wrote this dunno)), but at least nigga google tried *fistbump*. And i don't want to rant about everything that's wrong with facebook (everything) but it's the sheer amount of automated crap that gets pushed on to you and you just have to swallow. I actually wanted to try a fucking game but i got terrified that it might do the same thing to my friends (send them game invites). Come visit my farm, FUCK YOU!!!!
Enough about facebook, let's go over to the other new kid on the block and that is league of legends. Now league of legends is so money hungry that they litterally forget who the fuck is paying them. Stop the rage, yeah they tell you to stop the rage when they incite to fucking rage.
- From the beginning - , first lol problem, is feeding us skins with no soul in them but on insane prices just because they were a popular demand (hint beach party hint). And i don't wanna hear bullshit "oh but they listen to their users, because everyone wanted a beach party leona" crap. Yeah they did, but they did it MOSTLY because they saw it would be prolific, then they considered the impact on the users, or better said: the impact on the users was a by-product of their money hungry scheme. And on first glance that would contradict itself, because the majority would have to vote for those skins in order for it to be prolific, AND THAT WOULD BE TRUE, but the majority are kids in lol, and i don't fucking see kids representing them at tournaments, i doubt kids make up for most of their income, no, it's us, fucking working adults no matter how you look at it, it just so fucking happens that there are more kids than us, SO FUCKING START A KINDERGARTEN AND LET THEM PLAY WITH HEROES, you won't get exposure as a kindergarten you pieces of shit, KNOW YOUR PLACE.((i so had a bone to pick with them, well still do ))
This leads us to our second point, the matchmaking system. In lol there are 2 modes i play, normal and ranked. Now on ranked games the matchmaker pits together people of the same rank (bronze/silver/gold/diamond/plat) while factoring the number of games played to reach that rank, it's like a relevancy algorithm. Now the problem with this one are it's flamers and the only way to punish them is "report them" and hope something happens to them. Really?
Now off the top of my head there are 2 ways to make this work.
If the guy you report actually gets a warning/ban make it so that i can see it, to get some sort of closure that my whole game wasn't fucked up for nothing, or that i didn't try to be nice for nothing.
*disclaimer* i'm not nice, i bash their fucking heads in when they get cocky and stop blaming the team, i single them out every time, because they deserve it, i'm not playing this game to babysit, if i wanted that i would play Sims* So closure wouldn't work that much for me, admittedly.
But my 2nd point i can't see why it wouldn't work: Just factor in flaming warnings into the matchmaker. make a relevancy algorithm for flames aswell.
And i'm just gonna be short about normal games, i got pitted with 2 premades, bronze 3 and 4 vs a 4-man premade, with a single bronze 1 silvers and a diamond 4. This happened because matchmaker in normals factors only the number of games, or it's more prominent ~.
And now to the actual point of this, because i don't want to look like i'm just flaming lol for nothing, the reason why they don't change their matchmaker (which is the bread and butter of this whole game, the source of excitement) is because the waiting time would be MUCH longer, and that would look bad to the stupid(which make up most of their community), alienate users who want to play asap (the type that just ate a can of sugar, KIDS) and it would be counter-productive. Well i'd rather wait 20 minutes for a good game, than 30 seconds for a bad one. I know it would make you earn less, but you forget your goal should be a GOOD FUCKING GAME, not a money making machine.
And the same issue goes for world of tanks, and the laughable part is that world of tanks already has a fan-made sort of relevancy calculator, they just need to implement that into the matchmaker. But they won't. Fuck it i'm not gonna start explaining why that is wrong as well.
I guess my qualm is also with today's view on how a customer should be treated, there is no more passion just a blind goal to get rich regardless of means, and it's the reason why we have so many good visual games but no gameplay, so many good 3d effects but no story-line and it's partly our fault because we stand for that, and we buy said games or go to said 3d movies, start making a difference.
Back to google, i honestly love this nigga, because he hasn't lost his love for what he's doing, google you mah nigga!
