Other content I wanted is documentary style highlights for battlers, extended trailers for events, exclusive interviews you can’t get anywhere else, a weekly podcast going over events happening in the culture even if they take one that’s already active and put it on there like Black Compass or HennyMan and his crew.
I feel all that except the podcast or weekly run down thing. I can’t see a blogger cutting their audience down so far to such a niche like that, and if they made their own, it would compete with guys who essentially promo their product for free

But if they’re gonna put up and comers like Ace and Jey and Don Marino there and not YT, then yeah they need to create an aura and backstory for these guys

Serious question. Do y'all tell them this? At least give the appearance of cancelling if they don't fix the thing up? I see people here and a few other places complaining, but never saying it to them and putting any sort of pressure on them. If not, this is likely it. You know damn well Smack isn't giving whoever he got to code this thing any extra bread u less you make him. I wasn't aware the casting didn't work/exist. Deal breaker. My home theater cost a nice used car, I'm not properly enjoying a battle for the first time on my phone :stopitslime:
I’d tell them if I could. They said casting would be happening, it’s been 3 months, I give them another 2-3 of hearing nothing about it before canceling my sub

What do you mean "if you could":what:? They are on more or less every social media platform. If nothing else, YT. This is what I mean, people don't want to actually take action, but complain. Why are people cool with taking whatever they're given? Appreciative or not, you owe URL NOTHING.

A podcast that is exclusively on the app also crossed my mind. I'd imagine they could just move the Norbes podcast on there, which would make the most logical sense. It just keeps it in house.

At the end of the day, people that purchase the app, are hardcore battle rap fans. It's more then just battles, but the culture and I'm sure they know that. You gotta provide that full experience imo.

That's why I've held out.

Chill fam

I don’t have any social media. Smack is not reading YouTube comments and I don’t leave them anyway

I spend under $10 a month and get 3 battles a week on a 2 month old app. I’m in school and working full time and raising 2 kids. Just being able to work out 3x a week to avoid onset :flabbynsick: takes strategic planning. My 1 year old son is getting surgery next month. I wish I had time to be protesting R&D tactics of a privately owned small business. This battle rap shyt is a release to me, i can’t afford another point of stress in my life

In the post of yours I just quoted:

"I'd tell them if I could"

I tell you how you can, then you go back on that

Oochie Wally :hula: One Mic

On another note, I wish your son the best.

Appreciate that

by “tell them” I meant actually get my voice heard. I can leave a comment somewhere but what’s the point. Ten toes down or nothing imo
