I knew when I first saw this that this was going to blow up on tiktok... and it's at about 15 million views across 5 videos. I can't be too surprised; rage quit feels specifically designed to blow up on tiktok or on a Nexus showcase. I could go on and on about how social media algorithms prioritize attention above emotional depth and why I think that's bad for art (take it from a former TikToker that made brainrot), but in short, rage quit prioritizes your attention above all else. It's a Stereo Madness remake, meaning it appeals to anyone who has ever played at all, but to me, a Stereo Madness remake is so fundamentally uninteresting. The "story" of this level is about a guy raging at the game's easiest level, because that's all people who have only scratched the surface of GD know the game for. Additionally, a lot of the flashy effects, especially during the ship part have no reason to exist besides maintaining the viewer's attention. I do want to make it clear that I have no ill will towards Bli as a creator. I respect the guy and like a lot of the stuff he does, such as Change of Scene. If it wasn't for waboo's contests, which are not only content oriented, rage quit would've never existed. These contests are also a way of Waboo shoving his tastes in levels up people's throats. I believe he is an art fascist and is contributing to people losing their tolerance for others' opinions, but this is another conversation entirely. Bli is capable of making so much more and I can only imagine what he would've made if it wasn't for Waboo's contests.
