Ya know, 'popular' and 'good' aren't synonyms...

I think the same thing. And actually, they shouldn't get 'old'; those that were good enough should get shown somewhere. But the problem is that the list is constantly growing, and there's practically no way to stop that. There must be hundreds ands hundreds of videos that were really worth watching, but you have to leave new space for those that are new, give new opportunities to new videos. As someone wrote before, "they had their time", the people had fun watching them, we have to move on :mrgreen: .

that's a misconception, something wouldn't be popular if something about it weren't good... BUT not everything that is good is popular. It's an oxy-moron. appropriately named, in this case.

You can't just spurn popular things thinking no good can come of them (Linkin Park)
If you do not think so... you will DIE

Pauly Shore. Jim Crow laws. Whisper of the Beast. Over 9000. Disco. David Koresh. Leave it to Beaver. The Nazi party. Spoil. The Bee Gees. Communism. Lolcats. Death Note. Killing native americans and stealing their land. Vids from the wondertwins. Michael Jackson. Hillary Clinton. Ayumix. Pee Wee Herman. Throwing Japanese Americans in interment camps. Jim Jones. Ranma 1/2. Catholicism. Metallica. Naruto Technique Beat.


At some point or another each of the above was popular. It's highly questionable on if a single one of them was good.

Popular and good aren't the same as godix says IMO. In your list, there are a few that I recall as "good" (Ranma 1/2, I liked a few songs of Metallica; that's all). Those that are popular have more chances to have more people that likes them and hates them; and at the same time, they're hiding other shows/bands that would deserve at least the same popularity that they do have. I think it's always a matter of how to announce it (if Bandai is making a new anime, chances are much bigger that it will be a lot more famous than the one that was made by an unknown but good studio).

BTW, Ikore, what's that avatar? Haha, I know what it says, but still..

I'm mildly surprised no one has claimed nazis, commies, religious cults murdering people, or racist are good.
