Top (number) favorite user list videos

Top (number) favorite user list videos are a genre of user videos in GoAnimate, starting somewhere in 2014 and becoming popular once again in 2019 onwards. They feature the uploader's favorite users along with their avatars being shown in a list that goes from the lowest placement to the highest (usually).

Unfortunately, they are somewhat controversial due to the opinions that some of the users have, and because of the fact that, like the rest of the Internet, this community tends to have copy/pasted opinions.

Why they Cause Complaints, especially if Silenced

 * 1) The videos shown don't even explain why they think that a user may be average to the best. Instead, they make the avatar of the user cheer at supposedly nothing while looking at the camera (or dance).
 * 2) The opinions of some of these videos from users can lead to controversies (to the point where the users in these three points appear more than anyone else).
 * 3) *Weatherstar4000video is notorious for starting plagiarism in the GoAnimate community, along with getting 30+ people to copy his prop character usage/grounding video style. He had made a few controversial GoAnimate videos, such as a bootleg Bro character drinking bleach and a character elimination that's so bad that it ruined the standards of all future ones.
 * 4) *AzureMidnightGemstoneDude is controversial because of his childish behavior from 2018 - 2019. He had jumpstarted the "typical Vyonder" craze, popularised fictional OC besties (remember Superstar Luna?) and GA-styled exposal videos/posts which promote cancel culture and slanderous behavior, started the "no second chances" cliché, and his fanbase tends to copy everything that he does, especially PrincessElla2004.
 * 5) *Michael the Wrapper: Offline Guy and Brendan Barney are both controversial for popularising GoAnimate/Vyond-styled rants and salutes (along with the infamous GA-styled commentaries for Michael's case), causing many people to copy the ideas instead of noticing their flaws and leaving them dead.
 * 6) Speaking of OC besties, if a user has one (such as Goobtoob6), they would be included in the video even if said bestie is controversial or a hatebase was made of them.
 * 7) Because the community erroneously uses the words "outdated" or especially "disowned", these videos age like milk almost every time. In other words, many of these videos add either word, which does not fix the problem as they could've cut a specific user out of the video using YouTube Studio instead of putting that information in the title and description. Even if doing that wouldn't be necessary, it's inconvenient for both the uploader and the viewers to add "outdated for [whoever]" in the title/description - no exceptions.
 * 8) Sometimes, more than one user is put in one position in the video, which makes the title mostly misleading, because it lists more users than what the title specifies. For example, Azure and Goobtoob could be placed at #7 in a video, instead of either individual person being either #6 and #7, or #7 and #8, respectively or not.
 * 9) These videos are very, very biased (even to the point where it's not even fair on GoAnimators who don't even have many subscribers in comparison to those with 30K+, despite being well-known just about everywhere):
 * 10) *Overrated (listed above) or exceptionally popular GoAnimators (African Vulture, GoTube, Rack, etc.) appear very high up (close to #1), every time, guaranteed - even if they didn't do anything.
 * 11) *Likewise, underrated/obscure GoAnimators (MJ, the Spirit, NotSmirks, Mimefan), even if they're former, either appear very low on the list (early on in the video), or not at all - even if they do so much for them via any means necessary (recording videos, giving them advice, making avatars, and more).
 * 12) Because of #6, they have similar problems to dead meat videos that feature users (especially if it's ONLY users, such as this video); truly favorite users get the best card(s) whereas trolls, criminals, or other malicious scoundrels of the community end up getting cards that are either close to, or in dead meat.
 * 13) The music that they use for the videos is either protected by Content ID, or is a random song from GoAnimate's library or NCS.
 * 14) The creators of these videos try way too hard to silence complaints on these videos, despite their flaws, which in turn leads to criticism being silenced.
 * 15) *They may instantly block a user over them complaining that they didn't get added, which is a very stupid idea because they could've given the uploader constructive criticism afterwards; blocking them over focusing more on a complaint rather than trying to understand the details better would be bad for both sides; the commentor, for wasting their time typing up something only for that to disappear without warning, and the person who blocked the user, for missing their opportunity to be given the criticism to improve on their video(s).
 * 16) *Not to mention, normally once you're blocked by a GoAnimator, you will never be unblocked again on that account unless you apologise (which is hard to do if they don't use Discord), and using alt accounts to bypass the block doesn't last long before they get blocked too.
 * 17) Adding onto #9: The uploaders will usually wait until a random person repeats the "don't complain" phrase in the comments only for them to instantly pin that comment, usually because it says "pin this" in all caps (usually), which is a wasted pin as it could've went to someone who would've been happy to give constructive criticism on the video. Because it's impossible to tell if a user takes criticism as a complaint or actual criticism if you don't know them well, it's almost impossible to give that information in the comments without someone bombarding your replies of the comment.
 * 18) *The uploaders don't even make their own comment and pin that (usually). If they don't pin the comment that says "don't complain", they'll pin the person who's the best (usually #1) on the list.
 * 19) *Some people may not understand that there will be others who will complain about the lists (of the lack of quality of them), and there's nothing you can do about that. If people aren't given an explanation as to why certain users are on specific spots on the list, then people are going to question the video.
 * 20) Sometimes, they put their list in the description of the video, instantly defeating the purpose of the video in the first place.
 * 21) *Likewise, the thumbnail (such as the one used for this page) can spoil the users who end up appearing in the video.
 * 22) "Least favorite user" or "criminal" versions can be made of these videos, which shouldn't even exist because they will always show the users crying for no reason and that can be seen as a way of harassment, even if it wasn't intended. An explanation helps, but the arbitrary crying doesn't.
 * 23) Community posts can be made of these, which retain most of the mistakes made here except the user avatar cheering (because it's text being used instead of an audiovisual list).
 * 24) *They usually do not remove a user's name and replace it with someone else's if the creator no longer likes them; they instead use either of the two words of erroneous terminology (outdated or disowned).
 * 25) The community posts can cause many instances of the following:
 * 26) *Mention abuse, where an @ symbol is used before the name of the user.
 * 27) *Instances where people end up putting "can't tag" instead of just saying their name normally, especially as a shortened instance.
 * 28) *Somewhat childish jokes on usernames (some of which make no sense).
 * 29) Lack of consistency: Some of these lists can be backwards, where #1 is last in the list whereas the highest position is the first. There is no explanation to this, so it's impossible to tell who's better and who's not, according to the info in the list.
