Actually coming back to what kataryn said, I think the feeling of "innovation used to be cool" exists because osu! content creators don't really cover map showcases anymore, even top players who have the ability to playtest and showcase groundbreaking maps. They only care about setting amazing scores, whether that's pp or something else.
You rarely see videos like BTMC showcasing Probox's ETEA map, or Mayday 2b nowadays and imo that kinda takes away from the incentive to create something original if you're seeking clout. The only time when that happens is when Aspire contests happen and ppl like Koifishu cover it.
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.
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*
Can't say I didn't try :shrug:
But its not like vetoes ever get upheld anyways anymore
Holy shit Isomir's diff is so good and so fun to play
