After reading this back, I should also note that both Cat Cammy and incross post much more on the Capcom Cup side of things in particular than me. So it also makes more sense for both of them to feel more disheartened by the situation than I do. I'm hopeful that Capcom will reverse their decision.

I simply find it interesting to see and learn about the ongoing metas, and even moreso the shifts over time. Whether that be due to patching or players improving and learning more about the game, etc.

I am just drawn to the data.

As a partial example, I do statistics for CotW and Nen Impact. I've never played those games and don't have much interest in playing them. But I can't help myself from being curious about the information that's there for either of them. So I use my time to investigate and find that out.

I don't think that the work I do for infographics and statistics have much, if any, bearing on the sales/profits or player retention/gain of any of the games I do them for. Even if they did, I am simply interested in the numbers. I enjoy seeing the data myself, but share it for others to enjoy, too.

Less about the fun, more about I don't think I'm improving and the things I lack are things that I genuinely do not see as things I can improve. Like I said, I'm going to give it another week, but I really don't see myself getting better.

Like no matter how "big" I get, I'm not a personality. My content is devoid of anything human, it's just data. It would be hard, if not impossible, for me to promote a product because of this, I think. It's a weird space to be in, and I'm not sure it's something that has a direct or simple answer.

THANK YOU!
