I think people are confusing variable stream spacing with circle stream jumps.

This is variable stream spacing. Notice that there are no stream jumps.

Based on this, I will rate a 2.

Though they can be mapped well, I never have fun playing these types of streams. It just brings down maps for me to where I rarely play them, even if the rest of the map is epic.

If it's an actual jump during a stream, I cannot possibly give it a low enough rating to represent just how much I hate them :/ They can, by themselves, bring a map which would be a 10 to 1 in my opinion.

Depend on the use, so 3.
They can be as fun to play to receive 5, but they can be misused up to being utterly disturbing to have 1.

I always enjoyed muya's maps with this kind of streams. They are awesome. 4/5

EDIT: I just remembered that I used this technique too, in my "Tsunamaru - paranoia" map:

streams are hard so I hate when someone do this without reason

I like the ones in Mythologia's End, and Image - Material Version 0, but I don't really recall any other ones that I actually liked.

4-5, it shouldn't be completely random and be somewhat supported by the song (not evn talking about following it note by note, but if a section of a song gives a somewhat inconsistent feeling, streams can follow that idea well), but it's extremely fun to read and play in most cases

Variable streams get annoying and confusing, I rate it two because of the added challenge

oh man i hate this so much, i just cant read it
That said, it worked out beautifully on this map, so I'm not entirely downvoting this. Requires lots of mapping experience to be done right.

I wish I 1'd

It'd be better to ask why you're thinking out loud on a forum.

Very messy and disorganized flow. Only the 3rd image actually shows a good example for this type of mapping technique imo, so I'd give it a 2.
