"i'm not that invested in attacking your chart in particular. this is another grandiose fantasy of yours."

Then stop reverting the edits. I don't care who made the chart, I just care that there be something better than the previous chart which didn't even have classical and traditional music. If you don't personally like me, that's fine, but don't deprive others from the chart because of this fact.

"but the former chart at least attempts to encapsulte something that could be called "/mu/ core""

It doesns't. The chart is titlted "/mu/ essentials". Only the ones at the top row are /mu/core (and labeled as so). The metal and electronic sections are not /mu/core by any stretch of your imagination on the other hand.

"honestly I think it succeeds moreso than it fails"

Only if you consider the /mu/core and sub-/mu/core section, everything else is super flawed. Still, we can have both, which is what the other contributor said.

"yours has a weird pedagogical mission that is irrelevant to most people who use the board"

They are all essential albums, therefore it suits the interests of the board.

"your selections aren't the music that /mu/ cares about more than any other music"

Neither was the previous essentials chart.

"your chart is straight up unpopular"

According to whom? You and your other account? The chart has gotten a lot of praise on its initial /mu/ thread, and also on specific music subreddits. It wasn't devoid of criticism (obviously, not chart can ever be perfect), but calling it unpopular is a big exaggeration. It's well liked by both /mu/ and other music sites.

If you don't like the chart, fine, but the chart does what it says it does, which is the same as what the "/mu/ essentials" attempts to do in the sections other than the "/mu/core and sub-/mu/core" sections.

Now, stop reverting the changes, and if you don't like the chart, specifiy why you think it's bad. A lot of changes about the chart have already been made based on user suggestions (Viper was eventually replaced, as was Isn't Anything, among many others), so don't be afraid your suggestions will be in vain.
