I've had a lot of dm's in the past few months about why people are good enough for eRa and telling me I'm making a mistake not recruiting them, unfollowing me and bashing me for a LOT of advice I've given and time I've wasted on these individuals. (for content creation and streaming) I'm talking DAYS worth of Discord calls sharing screens and helping with the BASICS of video editing, recording and streaming.
This is going to be a longer message so apologies in advance.
People are dm'ing me saying the reasons they should join are "consistency" which is true, that matters a lot when wanting to make content and stream to join teams, orgs whatever. However... I could have no facecam, barely reply to the chat, not make my stream any different from anyone elses or "entertaining" not try grow my platforms just stream for the sake of streaming and similarly. Have Youtube video's with poor audio quality, poor template editing styles and still be "consistent"
I am looking for people who want to try make content that stands out from other people, not blends in and just does it "consistently" Creators with experience on these platforms they're using and be open to learning new ways of growing, editing, recording, and live streaming. Not people explaining to me "I'm good enough" Because honestly It's around 10 individuals who have messaged me telling me this. When if you were good enough and at that high level CONSISTENT, I would recruit you as there isn't a BUNCH of people to recruit in the community to start with, so I'm trying to not be EXTREMELY picky.
eRa currently have 3 amazing content creators who are all individualistic in their owns ways, but when we come together to record and game it's like we're all close friends and I want to keep that vibe within the team while maintaining that level of high (ISH) standard.
If you feel you deserve a place in a team for just being consistent even though the standard and quality and mindset is not there, you're just deluded. Try to improve weekly, make yourself stand out in one way or another (which isn't hard as the community doesn't have a bunch of content creators) so just have fun with it and use tools like Youtube for advice on how to improve and make the quality of your content stand out. It's ALL on there...
Apologies for the rant. But yes, the eRa RC is out and I will be watching all responses, if anyone wants to dm me and ask for OPS, I will be honest. But I'm not here to babysit you and pick out flaws and tips every single video. I can just tell you parts I enjoyed and parts I didn't and you as a creator or streamer do what YOU WANT with that information.
