true, but that presents an alarmingly narrow view of the future, as i'm sure you're aware... high pp plays have always influenced osu music notoriety for sure but the difference now is that Maps For Top Players have been narrowed down into 2 hyperspecific archetypes
also i feel like innovation used to be cool? people stood out by creating things players couldnt quite do yet, and it feels like any instance of that now is met with either who gaf or hate train. the easiest example i can think of is exit this earth's atomosphere but this is where my turbozoomer status might kinda derail my point bc i don't know if that map was as well-received at the time
though there is an easy way to popularise songs, and that's simply by making a farm map of it. That's exactly what happened with Glory Days and many other power metal stream farm maps in general.
also i think the "no one downloads maps anymore!!!" talking point kinda applies here, people keep mapping the same "classic" osu songs because that's one of few ways players will notice the map and go out of their way for it. to many people, popularizing a new one doesnt seem possible (although i'd love for that to be proven wrong)
i mean sure the game doesn't NEED a third map of this song but it's an entirely plausible thing to just make for fun, it doesn't have to be more complicated than that
idk about "clout chasing". It just happens to be a good song that it popular. It'd be clout chasing if they mapped it right after mrekk got the pp record or smth, but I don't think that's the case... *shrug*
fuck yeah arthro

I was gonna typr like an actual coherent thought but this comment under me stunlocked me
map feels like a stake ad

no one downloads maps anymore
and some people still manage to get 5k playcount on remaps of classic songs, wonder why......

it’s basically if clout chasing was a map or at least that’s how it comes off as but then again that isn’t new
allow me to introduce to you the concept of "farm"
whats with making a hard map and then not doing anything actually hard lol
