Unfortunately, I am fully on board with this decision. I have actually been waiting for this to happen for a few months now. I mean no disrespect to Clock mains/enjoyers, but I am glad for Clock to be over. I never really saw Clock as a good event, and always viewed it as a meaningless puzzle compared to the other events. I just never understood what all the hype was about. I personally agree with the decision, but by no means am I glad of the effect this has on the Clock community.
So just because you see clock as a “meaningless puzzle”, that justifies the removal of clock??
What about the people who spent HOURS upon HOURS of time practicing clock? What about the painful drills, and weeks of what seems like no improvement, just to try and become good at the event?? People have dedicated their entire cubing careers to clock, only for it to mean nothing because it got removed for what seems like NO REASON. Do people actually know how hard it is to truly try and get good at an event??
I really don’t see the point of removing clock. I’m not actually mad that clock is leaving, I’m mad over the fact that they are willing to put the years of hard work of competitive(and non competitive) clockers to waste. I can resonate with the clock community right now because i know how it feels to spend hours of practice just for it to go to waste. I don’t even have a clock (lol).
I don’t really see the point of removing clock. And i don’t understand the thinking of people who want clock, or any event, to be removed. If you don’t like an event, ignore it.
A bit off-topic, but I observed something:
When people dislike something, they bother to pay attention.
But why would you pay attention to something you don’t like?
Wouldn’t it be better to just ignore it?
Of course there are exceptions, but it’s a common thing i see in social media. When people see an AI slop video, they bother to actually click on the video and call out the slop.
anyway, sorry for my rant, and sorry if it feels disrespectful
