From my perspective, SOD is like a cancerous tumor, and VT are healthy cells, BUT only VT players don't develop the scale of these "healthy cells," but instead try in vain to diminish SOD – you're moving in the WRONG DIRECTION (SOD players don't bother with your VT – develop and popularize it, but you keep saying your SOD is garbage, etc. – this isn't a way to DEVELOP VT).
VT only exists by trying to conflict with SOD; SOD doesn't care/doesn't need it; it will popularize itself.
