Ok so why are you complaining then?If I spent those last 5 months going after collaborating with someone, I wouldn't have the content I have now.
My understanding was that a little guy usually doesn't just ask a person at the top to say "Hey! Give me some exposure!". You need to prove yourself and get to a level of having your own following. That is what I was doing. And I don't agree entirely. My model wasn't "Ride off other people".
He seems to have taken a shortcut and produced a 'poorer' product; this will always be his downfall sooner or later. But he seems to have executed it much better, in a smarter, more efficient way, and it should be a big wake up call for you to be less conventional.
It's pretty obvious what you need to do and the first part is to stop whining about it. Just get on A) producing great products B) creating some contacts.
Have you even thought to ask your friend to help you out, or put you in touch with this other guy?
