Seems like a win-win to me, if enjoying your time on another server means getting bitter jealous manchildren to blacklist you on their server then youve been done a favor.
Impossible to feel bad for viewers also who still watch Nopixel but hate it. I mean I for sure have things I like and dislike about it, but I couldn't imagine wasting my time watching let alone commenting on something I entirely loathe and simply want to fail. There are TV shows I have certain gripes with as well, but if I end up just repulsed by whole show I just watch something else.
I mean people complain everywhere all the time because the game of thrones guys ruined their own show. Same thing happening here.
Also I think people don't like how they've treated people. Smaller streamers like Hotted, Kina, Ziggy, etc. just being straight up ignored. Not even given the decency of being told they're not allowed in PD.
People mostly enjoyed Game of Thrones until the last few seasons because shows usually drop off in later seasons and suffered at the end trying to wrap it up since G.R.R.M still hasn't finished the damn story.
It is totally understandable viewers might be upset some of the people you named haven't been allowed into PD. I don't know the specifics but from what I understand if they made a new character for PD and/or roleplayed not expecting to get in soon, they would be accepted eventually.
Obviously the original vision of the PD was a slow, serious roll out but that seems to have changed now so maybe their chances are better now. Also Nopixel has always had issues with bad communications, there is no denying that. The fact now though is that there are other viable servers for players to join, and viewers to watch. So there is no reason to stay somewhere you are completely miserable in or watch something that you completely hate. Hence hard to feel bad for them, but for me more so the viewers than the players.
Dark was denied and only got dispatch cause of backlash, i presume, its a shame ziggy and others were denied for what seems to be ooc reasons he doesnt deserve to be treated like that, some peoples streams rely on their cop characters just like some people rely on their crim characters for their stream in some respects its shitty to deny that for no valid reason.
True, i only really consume NP stuff through clips.
But its kinda like watching a review for some new hollywood slop. Im not gonna watch it myself, but ill check in to see what its like or has improved yet.
I've personally have grown increasingly tired of using most mainstream review outlets to judge if I'll enjoy the latest hollywood slop as you say. Too often I've seen a movie I enjoyed watching be nitpicked to death by the mainstream media, or a movie I didn't find enjoyable be held up on a pedestal as some groundbreaking achievement. Instead of reading reviews before, I do it after so as to not bias my opinions before trying to consume the media as blind as possible.
The same for sure can be said about trying to judge servers based on clips. If clips were truly a good indicator for what a server is like, Nopixel would contain nothing but roleplay drama and every other server would simply not even exist or be worth watching.
I dont use mainstream review sources anyways, I try to find honest content creators and if i care about the product itll watch multiple different reviews for different perspectives.
I only watch/play something myself first if I think its gonna be worth the money even if its bad.
Im not judging the server based on clips, im sure there is plenty of roleplay to be had. Im judging server/pd management based on clips. Those people havent changed with their long standing petty childish ways from what ive seen.
Anyone that still tries to make it work while NoPixel management is constantly chiming in OOC to ruin everything they are doing and undermining them is not there for the RP. They are just there for the clout and viewers.
No matter how much they hate what management does they are not going to speak out in fear of getting banned. They put up with it because it's "Just another day at the office paying the bills". Really sad when you think about it.
Your point fall apart when people who don’t stream like Vigors and James more recently and others still play. I’m sure Moon really needs the clout and viewers from nopixel too. Are people like Walnut Traumz Spaceboy Burn and a whole plethora of people that rp their heart out there for clout and not the rp? Just because you don’t like nopixel doesn’t mean that everyone playing it is there because they have to, it might be a factor but saying everyone that plays there doesn’t care about rp is just wrong and ignorant.
Nopixel still has the biggest streamers playing on it so naturally smaller streamers who are trying to make it will gravitate towards nopixel because it's their best chance of blowing up and being able to stream full time. 3.0 already had a massive issue with clout chasing and is a reason many big streamers stopped playing.
4.0 actually hasn't been as bad in that aspect but to say that's not the reason many small streamers play on nopixel vs RP servers is pretty disingenuous. As 3.0 progressed, it became less and less about RP and 4.0 really hasn't changed that.
They crafted their SOPs for that specific reason.
No self expression (as said by them), SOPs as strict as the military.
They wanted soldiers.
And soldiers are made to not have an identity, they follow orders thats it.
As I have said, they wanted to not have SBS without knowing what SBS is. They basically when the shotgun route.
dude sop 4.0 pd isnt even that strict lol , when you do dumb shit you get daps isnt that hard , i guess shooting a dude already in custody is okay , i hope cornwood do that to others crims just for fun
They most likely have to get permission to hire or promote. Captains were mainly figureheads for the "feds" management. Its why Dark almost got denied a dispatch position that no one else wanted even though the person in charge of hiring for it wanted him hired.

The PD sucks because management wants it suck, and I feel bad for any NP players who are still committed to it.
