as an add-on content creator though, just sticking with the same bad, "non-serious" content isn't going to learn you or help you on anything unless if you choose to do it that way on and on, and that isn't a problem
actually, when you refer to bad, "non-serious", are you referring to the kind of addons that are just glitchy model swaps or such just "because it looks funny" or something? in those cases it's definitely a bit of a problem to do, but i was moreso referring to the more cartoony/anime/joke addons that actually do have a bit of effort put into them to actually make them look right
however it's just irritating in my perspective and many other people might agree to it. i don't care what their purpose is and i don't care if it's them being serious or not, a bad add-on is still a bad add-on, and there's no problem with thinking this way.
i understand that a lot of people may get irritated by the sheer amount of some addons, like the amount of anime mods going around or simple flashlight retextures of some random image that barely doesn't cross over the nsfw border so i really don't blame you there, it can get really out of hand.
there's also always a larger surplus of bad content over good in most of the workshops as well but it can't really be helped as long as people are actually going to learn from their mistakes, though most don't unfortunately
again, never said that it's a problem when you like sharing your add-on to the community regardless if it's bad or not. it's the clear thought and effort put into it.
it's always better to see good, effort-filled addons than sloppy messes; i did think you were just referring to some mods that fit into the joking kind of category, but still have the effort put in to make them function properly so that's my bad
what is this supposed to mean?
this is just my own 2 cents since i'd rather get some oddities into whatever the workshop supports rather than the same theme of the game all the time
i don't personally care if the person decides to replace the tf2 heavy as pinkie pie, but if that's the case then it shouldn't be in glitching, bland, or straight-up trash levels of bad for the sake of that one "what-if" though. years ago that's what i've seen half the time when i used steam workshop
i can respect that & i understand where you're coming from now that it's been cleared up, as i do get quite annoyed myself with the low-effort addons that come out in swarms over content that's been worked well on; it's happened to my own addons before in the left 4 dead 2 workshop as well
