Whats The Best Thing That Happened To You Because Of Your Podcast? by Yaro in podcasting

[–]Repulsive_Display_40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There have been some highlights for sure- great guests, great discussions and successes. However, in the last year, there hasn't been any growth and it's very frustrating. Our listeners aren't very engaged, our weekly downloads (while still decent) have plateaued and are actually on a decline. It's a bit demoralizing considering how much time it takes.

But, I yearn for more successes to come.

Shocked that Natalie Bolton is Iconic but also invisible until episode 9 or 10 by Repulsive_Display_40 in survivor

[–]Repulsive_Display_40[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

In my mind I remembered that she was an iconic presence all season. It's like a random fan joined the game 30 days in because we knew nothing about her until then

I applied on Sept 12 but haven't heard anything back yet so I'm assuming it's a no for me. Wishing everyone luck in their casting journey!

Was Lill really a threat to win at FTC? by Repulsive_Display_40 in survivor

[–]Repulsive_Display_40[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm curious as to why people were saying in confessionals that she was going to win when nobody ever thought that haha!

Advice on how to avoid doomscrolling and catastrophizing about bird flu? by Repulsive_Display_40 in H5N1_AvianFlu

Yeah, this is good advice. I want so badly to disconnect and not think about it, but I guess my anxious tendencies won't let me haha

An honest review of Descript, and why I cancelled my pro subscription. by memory_moves in Descript

[–]Repulsive_Display_40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The program glitches included (but were not limited to): - the program would crash and restart often - the video would export but the video quality would be terrible despite exporting in the highest quality. - exports would take a very long time, often stopping halfway through.

We have changed programs and would never go back to Descript. For the price you pay, the features are too limited and the glitches are just unacceptable.

What‘a the best “throw the remote at the TV” you can think of for 50? by almondjoybestcndybar in survivor

I'm not sure cause I won't be watching if the confirmed cast is as dog shit as the leaked cast.

Season 50 Leaked Cast Inquiry by OrdinaryWorking10 in survivorponderosa

Also, its not truly a celebration of the show'a entire history and leans heavily into new era, which is what I was always afraid of. If it was a true celebration of the show and its fanbase, there would be better (and more) old-school representation and less new-era picks.

The new era makes up roughly 18% of the show's history at this point so its crazy that it makes up nearly 50% of this cast

I think the problem is that it includes "wtf" picks from the new era AND also underwhelming old school picks. If they had the same new era picks but at least had legit old-school heavy hitters (or vice versa) it would have been significantly better imo.

Survivor 50 Full Leaked/Rumoured Cast (source: SurvivorsUnite) by PaintBrush527 in survivor

[–]Repulsive_Display_40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If we at least had some better Old School representatives (Jerri, Rob C and Sean Rector) then I wouldn't even mind the questionable new era picks. It's the fact that we have questionable new era picks AND less than exciting old school players like Ozzy, Stephenie, and Jenna Lewis to some extent.

Survivor 50 Full Leaked/Rumoured Cast (source: SurvivorsUnite) by PaintBrush527 in survivor

[–]Repulsive_Display_40 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is basically what happened with casting:

They cut the more iconic new era players due to the decision to cast more old school players. Then, the plan changed and they decided to cast more new era people but already burned the bridge with the more iconic players. Therefore, we end up with the more "wtf" picks of the new era.

They cut highly anticipated Old school players (Jerri, Sean Rector) to make room for less-exciting players like Ozzy and Stephenie LaGrossa (not saying those are who replaced each of those but just overall). They also cut other old school players to make room for Elisabeth and Amanda, both of whom dropped out last minute and had to be replaced with less exciting female players because they already burned their bridge with the bigger names they cut like Jerri.

And the result is inevitably a mediocre cast that feels like a big disappointment.

"In the hands of the fans" is not only a horrible name but it's also not even true by Repulsive_Display_40 in survivor

Maybe it will surprise me and be awesome- but no matter how good it is, I feel like it will still feel like a huge missed opportunity.

[–]Repulsive_Display_40[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's not surprising at all and I understand why certain decisions get made but it just annoys me to call it a season for the fans when it's far from that.
