As a Newcomer, I'd like to share my biggest 3 problems with this site

Thats cause ultimately, y'all aint doing enough to stop people from no-showing, and or not giving them motivation to battle.

Why battle on here? Most people that are battling on here are here for two reasons only, to try and become good, or to battle because they love battling.

Only one of those two is sustainable, and that is the latter.

When something is your hobby and you become decently good at it, it becomes fun to try and test your skill against people of high caliber and be in competition for titles. You have nothing but your prestige to lose. But you don't care about prestige because you value the art form and want it to grow. The art form itself is encouraging you, as well as everyone complimenting your skill level and shit.

But when you're starting out, literally only you are motivating yourself, the thought of becoming top-tier, the dream of becoming top-tier. But when there's nothing else, it feels like there's no reason to continue battling.

It's actually the reason for both of my hiatus's. I didn't feel like there was any reason to continue.

Of course you could make the argument "If you truly wanted to become the best you would try no matter what" or "You should have to earn shit" but there is limited to no reason as to how to improve. Skizzo's Rap Bible needs more shit and updating, and is hard af to find, people dont respond when you ask them for help, and most "elevation crews" run by certain people are basically just people with a powertrip that want to be "at the top" of something. Now if these crews actually had people that would actively help you, they wouldn't be that bad, and if they were run by champions, it would be even better.

Problem is, and let's face it, Letsbeef only caters to people who know what they're doing. Most voters just say "This was shit, this was shit. Bye", and that shit does nothing. You need to DM people and tell them, "Yo, your shit might not be the best now, but do this and try this instead, and that might help make a stronger bar.".

Not tryna say rookies or champions are more important, but its a matter of fact that without either of them the site would eventually fall.

Thats why you need to help people.


Also you is not referring to Kiwi, it refers to everyone reading this thread..
