why people(cubers) do not tell you what they know

[Innocence]

why isnt this thread closed.. or something

That wasn't even a sentence.

Why isn't this thread closed.

It doesn't follow proper sentence structure.

Here is a proper sentence, that also conveys my personal opinion, as it does yours.

This thread should be closed.

OK, this seems to not be an obvious thing to people who may not know all of Jaysammey whatever's history.

I'm 99% sure it's true, though.

He is a troll.

I agree. Unfortunately putting down someone else is really favored by several in this forum. Most of the people who participate in such acts do not realize that they are hurting others (and if they do, then shame on them!). The worst part is, if the individual being picked on says anything back (and in this thread, the defendant specifically restated what he meant by the title of this thread! Come on people!) is in for a deeper attack. I pity those who believe they ever have the right to pick on others. If someone is supposedly a troll, I think he/she should be contacted by a moderator privately, not publicly slaughtered for entertainment!


As far as cubers sharing information by tutorials, etc., not all of the time are these tutorials originally formed only with the good intention to "share" what they know with others. It is a possibility that some cubers make tutorials to organize the information they are teaching in their own heads as well. (Teaching is an effective way to learn what you know better). Perhaps this is why most of the tutorials out there are not very good for beginners to learn from, but appear to be perfect to their maker. There are just too many tutorials out there (specifically youtube ones) which are made by people who do not have a real understanding on the topic that they are "teaching" others.

I want to echo what everyone else is saying. Cubing is remarkable in that most cubers share everything they know, to a degree that exceeds almost any other hobby or sport. We generally tend to get disrespectful towards those who don't, probably partially because of some cheating that has happened in the past. Anyway, please slap me if I ever start refusing to tell people what I know. I don't ever want to be like that.

*SLAP!*

You refused to tell me how to be awesome

Sorry - I figured I didn't need to, since you've already got it mastered.

It depends on what cuber you talk to. Some cubers, like me, are eager to tell info of how to decrease your times and what methods to use.

I agree with this
For example, at a comp that I went to:

Tom Barlow: was happy to tell me about his times and his methods

Erik: I would ask him stuff about cubes he used and times he got and I would get very brief responces and on most ocations I would never even get a responce.

Cubers just cant make tutorials thats it..

I think we should give this guy a break

The reason people are upset is that this is simply not true for cubing, and many of the top people have spent a lot of time helping out others. For example, Nakaji, a Japanese cuber that used to be record holder has created MANY videos and websites, sharing all his algorithms. Erik also has a channel with a lot of videos, and a website. There are MANY others. The reason you don't know about it seems to be that you appear to be ignorant to all of it because of, presumably, not doing enough research on the topic. Your first instinct was instead to come here and moan... you're wrong and people will naturally take offence.

On top of that suggesting that some of us don't help each other out because we are overly competitive is easily seen to be blatantly wrong. All you'd have to do to see this is attend a few competitions: large portion of the time is spent practicing and merrily sharing good algorithms and techniques. What differentiates us is not knowledge.

Your claims are unfounded and this post is a result of rash thinking and frustration.
