Whiny bitching about the top 10%
So I'm poking around looking for good videos and I realize the top 10% sucks royally. There's only 23 videos with enough ops to make the <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... &c=12">top 10% dance</a> list and only one or two of them are less than two years old. We need some fresh blood on the lists. Go download, watch, enjoy, and most importantly op these videos right now:
<a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... 45">Beyond Rhythm</a>
<a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... 4974">Life is Life: La la la la la!</a>
<a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... 78">Spirit of the stage</a> (kinda old but whatever)
<a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... 45">Ayumix: D a y b r e a k</a> (ignore the last track, it's a substandard piece of shit that the editor put almost zero effort into. Trust me, I know this for a fact. Other than that it was decent.)
and whatever else is a good dance video that wasn't part of DDR.

My first initial reaction to this was:
Why not just make a "Top 10% Classic" and "Top 10% Recent"
But then I found that they have a "from" filter.
i.e. Top 10% 5 months ago, 6, 7, etc. etc.
So, if your tired of all the same stuff, use the filters. They are there for a reason.
Note: If this in any way sounded mean or condescending, I apologize.

Whoops, I forgot about my public persona for a moment there. Let me revise my comment:Niotex wrote:=\
So I'm poking around looking for the very rare good videos that are actually worth pausing in jerking off to view. I don't know why I was doing this, experience has taught me that pleasuring myself for four minutes is usually much more enjoyable than the vast majority of crap people produce. Hell, given how horrible most editors are I could wack off with sandpaper and still find it more enjoyable than watching their videos. Anyway, like an abused wife, I just keep coming back over and over again while hoping the world suddenly changes and I don't end up in the same intense pain like before. Considering that I continue to download Decoy and Inthesto videos chances are I'm gonna continue to get hurt but hey, what is life without hope? Well, a life without hope is marriage but nevermind, it was a rhetorical question. Forget I asked.
So anyway I hit up the top 10% in the vain hope that humanity has suddenly developed taste and monkey cum like Naruto's Technique Beat suddenly has an all 1 average but instead I find things are even worse than I thought. If you start searching for the top 10% of genres you find that out of literally thousands of avalable videos there's only a small amount with enough ops to be rated in the listings. Dance has 23 videos on the top 10% which means theres ~230 total on that list. A supersearch shows over 3000 dance videos are on the org and downloadable. Good lord, to have less than 10% of the avalable videos to have enough ops to be listed is fucking pathetic. We need to start oping this crap. Do it for me, I need my cute loli moving in semi-erotic ways to get through the day. Incidently, it's not just dance. There are 13 trailers listed. Parody only has 41. Instrumental has 12. Horror has 17. I just care about the dance though, parody and horror videos just aren't wackable. Well, not that often at least.
There are, roughly, 230 videos with enough ops to be listed in the top 10% dance catagory. There are over 2800 dance videos downloadable on the org that will never appear because they don't have enough ops. That's why people should op these videos. Reorganizing how the 230 videos are listed isn't going to change the fact that the vast majority have no chance of showing up no matter what.ANTDrakko wrote:My first initial reaction to this was:

Actually, if you sort by genre you only get the regular top 10% list with only the Genre's videos on it; a smaller list that is limited by the low number on the basic top 10% list. On the other hand, if you sort by date, it actually recalculates a new top 10% that is larger and excludes the ones out of that time-frame.
The methods used to display results are simply not equal. I'm not sure if it's intentional or just an oversight though.

The dance results are nothing compared to the 17 horror results, or only 80 vids for a huge category like comedy. If there were only 800 comedy vids with 10+ ops, it might make sense to list only the top 80 in the top 10 % list. It's not the number of ops making those lists small - it's the 9.0 cutoff.
Cutting all the lists off at the 9.0 mark took a stagnant list and made it smaller and even more stationary. I still don't see the need for that. Only one person complained that the lists shouldn't go below 9.0 - one complaint and everything changes? Since when? And the top ten description is still claiming to use 10 or more ops as only the necessary qualifier. It should read 10+ ops and a 9+ score.
But, hey, maybe it'll encourage people to make more videos for those unreasonably small categories. We only have 80 really popular comedy vids on this site. That's just sad. It's a clear sign for people to write more ops and make more vids for those neglected areas. The site's too big to have so few worthy vids.
