How very absurd it was to think we could actually change something by requesting basic, fair changes to the treatment of musicians. What idiots we were, sheesh.
The reason I resent Equestria Daily has zero anything to do with my personal belief that they've consistently and actively given brony musicians the shaft, but everything to do with the fact that they expect to be treated as a legitimate journalistic entity but fail to act journalistic in any way. The idea that EQD is just some guy's blog is laughable. EQD is a curated, submission-oriented periodical with a provable bias against brony musicians.
Also, if you think the mlp music scene is dying, what are you doing here?
I wasn't putting the blame, I was making a suggestion. In the thread that sethisto created requesting ideas for changes to EqD's music program, we piled our ideas ontop of him and argued over nothing. Since you seem to have the answer to how EqD should be treating brony musicians, let's hear how you think Seth should treat us.
I don't see why Seth wanting his blog to be treated as a journalistic entity is a bad thing. Of course EqD is a journalistic headquarters of the fandom. Journalism is defined as the activity or profession of writing for newspapers or magazines or of broadcasting news on radio or television, or the product of such activity. Just because he isn't running a professional level site doesn't mean he's less of a journalist. He started the blog and then it grew and submissions for content increased, so he needed more people to help him. He's still in control of the blog. That's why he'll give big musicians big single posts, because perhaps he likes their music, or something. And for the record, I don't see how EqD is treating musicians unfairly, they seem to be doing everything they can without flooding and boring the audience.

You have seriously got to be kidding me. Are you going to start ranting on 9V for being here even though
he isn't even a brony? And then are you going to follow up with senntenial? No, just... no. Honestly, just leave this thread. Hit the power button on your computer and go do something else for a while. All that has happened in this thread is you got your panties all up in a bundle by getting over defensive of your friend and started to veer off topic and insult everything you think has done you any wrong that you could marginally claim to be on topic, and now you're on the path to making the insults personal to people on this forum itself.
Uh, would you believe me if I told you there's a website with all of those things in the topic of this very thread.
Would you believe me if I told you that there was a semi-successful website in complete working order as we speak.
Would you believe me if I told you that.
Could we get a mod to work out a temporary ban on DerpyGrooves? Doesn't have to be super long or anything, just long enough to let this thread go away and DG cool down.
