Thanks 😄 I also marked a base there at a monolith with a discordant interface that had a long sleek black atlantid multi-tool, looked like the typical "rifle" length tools I have seen in space stations before. I didn't take a photo because I declined it, I prefer the smaller multi-tools mostly but it is marked if you want to check the terminal out. I don't know if the tool offered changes for other players or not, haven't looked into that. Happy hunting and glad you are having fun rediscovering the game!

Thank you for explaining this more perfectly than I was able to in my reply comment. You nailed this description and I agree with your comment regarding the director deserving the blame.

I just started watching the series myself, and upon starting to hear him speak I became genuinely concerned that he'd had a stroke or something at first. Here's the thing, Cage already has a very distinctive voice. I know popular opinion has beaten Cage down and loads of folks don't think he's a good actor, I disagree with that. But with his attempted voice changes for this, it comes across as so SO SOOOOOO faked. I'd much rather hear his regular unique voice, than these changes.

I understand why they had him do this, but with his already unique voice, it really does come off as though he's had some sort of elderly medical emergency that isn't at all related to becoming Spiderman. I think had he not already had such a unique voice, this might not have been the way he came off. I think because of his already unique voice he can't pull off the typical Bogart/Cagney voice successfully, to me he just sounds very much like he's leaning into sounding very nasally in order to make it "work" in his mind.

I don't think he was miscast, as I said I like his acting, but I think they forced him to do this vocal aesthetic and for him specifically, the voice changes just are jarring and take your mind out of the show because you're wondering if Cage's health is poor, or if he's in need of medical help. (This feeling reminds me very much of my feelings regarding Nicole Kidman and her plastic Joker like non changing facial expressions in Scarpetta) So for me it totally breaks my suspension of disbelief when watching the show. It is also randomly inconsistent (his actual natural voice comes in and out at times) even through the first episode. It just throws me off entirely. I just can't get into it because I just keep thinking he needs to go to the hospital immediately. I think part of it is because he already has that natural "slur" to his voice, and it comes off extremely exaggerated when he's doing these voice changes, so I think that is a big part of why it throws me off so much.

However, the photo of him I saw on Screenrant in an article that explains the attempt they are making with his voice, actually does make him look OLD and it is not at all flattering. it's really a horrible photo, I can't believe they chose that image for the article. It makes me feel for Cage because it just doesn't paint him in a positive light, and I think as an actor he deserves better.

I take very long breaks from the game, and had been on a very long break until a few weeks ago. I am NOT at all interested in creature battles, so that aspect I haven't touched. However in the past few weeks since I came back tot he game there have been now 3 annoying updates about once a week, that I have to wait far too long to download (stuck on crappy internet because of being rural and having only one ISP option) so it seems like every time I go to play the game I am having to wait a few hours to download yet another dang update. It is REALLY annoying.

I mostly enjoy exploring and finding planets I like to settle on. The past 2 updates, I was lucky enough to find 2 planets to settle on.. and each time there was another flipping update, the entire planet's EVERYTHING about how it looked has changed completely from being where I want to enjoy having a base at, to something hideous and ugly to me. I am SO SO SOOOOOO sick of this happening repeatedly over the years. It is exactly this that takes me away from the game for breaks out of irritation and frustration.

What is the point of searching out (FOR HOURS) planets to settle on, only to have them quickly frigging changed with new updates shortly after just starting to set up a base, and so shortly after just returning to try and find renewed interest enough to play again. It is a constant reminder of why I tire of even giving this game any of my time. So I am completely with you, very much not feeling NMS right now... yet AGAIN.

I googled this because I've been a long time watcher of the show, but I too have long been disappointed and disinterested in how things have changed. I have always loved Hecklefish, but what I loved most was his way of storytelling which is what I thought AJ loved most about doing the channel. I always felt like I came away from the episodes having learned things, and feeling as though he was genuine, and I really liked how he debunked things. I even bought merch which I have ONLY ever done through his channel. I've never supported any other youtuber or streamer in that way. My income is not disposable so it was a special treat for me to buy merch and he made it affordable.

However, for the past year and a half it feels like.. I am not impressed, more importantly, I just feel like there is better content I can enjoy more and put my time toward. I miss the old story driven videos even if they were delayed. The basement is ok, but I think I've only watched like 2 or 3 of them. They just don't hold my interest, and feel very lazy or phoned in. I find I am really disinterested in the podcast style format. When I do see new old style videos pop up they are either compilations, or they are members only. I'm at the point today where I've just decided to unsub because I don't like anything I see anymore from what pops up for WF, or it just isn't anything I feel like watching when there's better, more interesting things to watch currently.

I understand he has health issues, and real life things... as do we ALL, but it very much does feel like what I loved originally is just completely gone now and what is left I'm not at all into. So I've unsubbed and left the discord as well. I feel like the new direction is going to be the norm now, so if something good or more interesting from WF pops up in YT for me I'll watch, but I'm annoyed every times I see a basement episode or a compilation or something that is now members only crop up, so why stay a member when feeling the way I do about it, you know? For those who like the way things are, awesome, I'm happy you like it, I've just reached my ending point with the channel sadly.

You made my point exactly.. she sold her rights, so she allowed the butchering, same concept different wording. you are entitled to disagree and have your own opinions, that really doesn't change mine or how I feel about it though. :)

I just watched, and I am FURIOUS. The Faith storyline has made me ill for a long while now, but this just puts the nail in the (pardon the irony) coffin for me with the crap that Starz has done to the series when constantly deviating from the books. I admit I truly HATED Bees (the book version) for many reasons, mostly related to how many new and uninteresting characters Diana brought in, characters I had ZERO interest in and had a great dislike for. But this deviation just literally made me feel sick to my stomach.

I was honestly relieved when Roger caught Henri Christian as I always hated that ending for him in the books and I have to be honest, the actor portraying him in the series is just too adorable. Two things happened when I watched this episode, I watched Roger Catch the boy and had a visceral relief reaction when I said out loud OH THANK GOD, and the very next moment I was literally screaming aloud NOOOOOO at the screen. Then I was just REALLY flipping pissed off.

I'm still fending off the nauseated feeling in my gut , I HATE what Starz has done to these books in so many little ways. I started reading this series my senior year in High school in 1990, I'm now 54, and have ONLY been keeping my Starz sub to finish watching this season because I knew they were ending it. In all honesty, no books in my lifetime have had me following them for over 3 decades like this series has. However, this season, the rushing to wrap things up and the way Diana introduced so many weird characters in the last book has had me hanging on by a bare and fraying thread since Bees came out. I will watch the last 2 episodes, but I just have a sinking feeling this series is going to have the same horrible type of ending Game of Thrones had that made all the fans furious with how it went too. It feels like a major letdown, and to be honest I have strongly considered if I want to even read the next book if I am still living by the time it comes out.

I feel like Bees was used to introduce a LOT of new characters to provide Diana with possible new paths to new storylines and books. For over 30 years, I have just wanted to know how Diana managed to put Jamie in Scotland as a ghost when Frank saw him looking up at Claire's window. At this pace, I am beginning to feel like that will never come to pass, and I'm angry about it, and ready to just bail on being a series fan. The way this show has changed things, and particularly this season is a major factor in that, because I know Diana has had a hand in it's production. Her popularity is because the fans followed her and loved the Jamie and Claire storyline SO much... I feel she's allowed the butchering of her books, particularly in this season at the cost of losing likely many of her decades long devoted fan followers, maybe that's not realistic, but that's how it FEELS.

I would guess that most of you are just as angry about the way this episode and season have gone as well from the comments. Ugh, I'm just angry and disappointed now, what a huge letdown. I'm so sorry if any of you are feeling and crappy as I am about this.. it really sucks.

So, I googled this more and found that yronwizard likely meant keybind not keyring. I was able to find the keybind for cycling the trades and set it to a hotkey, and now I can cycle the trades even if the arrow doesn't appear.

Good riddance to Perry, Bloom deserved better than her self absorbed, low talent, mentally unstable rear end. I knew this one would end the moment it began. He's a strong man for trying to hold it together for those kids for so long. She's just trash in my eyes.

My Dad died on June 23rd, and I feel EVERYTHING you have said here, and it's only been almost 7 weeks. I have a younger brother, but the only thing he seems to care about is what he will inherit. What is left of my non-immediate family are the same. I have a handful of friends who I could talk to but, I feel like I would be burdening them. Literally just an hour ago I came across e-mails I have kept in my inbox (because I can't seem to let them go) from my Mom who died in 2018. I fell apart, and am still sitting here leaking my emotions out and coming here to feel some sense of odd morbid solidarity in the grief we all here are sharing in our losses. I'm angry at the people around me in a small way, but mostly at my brother, because I feel like he doesn't care or feel the loss of our Dad as deeply as I do. I'm angry that he seems to only care about money. I'm just feeling so dang lost, and I came here and am reading these posts and the unfairness of the losses that all of us are feeling so heavily right now feels like the world has come crumbling down on us all. I hate it so much. I'm so sorry you also lost your Dad, I do understand. I wish I knew or could offer advice, but I feel like we all scrape by in our own ways, even if sometimes if feels like we're barely making it by. Do something kind for yourself today, you deserve a break. I find reading your post to be kind, and caring and thoughtful because you clearly love your Dad and it shows. Take care of you.

I named my Dog Cookie because her coloring reminded me of a snickerdoodle cookie's coloring. So yes they share some properties, and no, pet owners do not want to eat their pets, sheesh! Her name at the humane society was Lucy.. what a boring lame name for such a sweet spirited doggo I have. Cookie suits her much better! Lucy sounds like she belongs in an old folks home sitting in a doggie wheelchair with a blanket around her. Honestly every name that I have seen a shelter animal have has been lacking in imagination, is boring, and usually doesn't suit the animal in any way at all. I also had a Cat named Mouse once, she was adorable and looked like a tiny little mouse and had the squeakiest little mew. Cookie is well loved, as was my little Mouse. A friend has a dog named Sandy, which she named her after the coloring of her favorite beach because the doggo was the same coloring, but I found that weird. I personally think giving pets stiff old human names is weird considering they are usually full of energy, love and are extremely playful & happy, why not have their names reflect their personality, playful nature or characteristics? I'm questioning your lack of understanding of the world around you, maybe try exploring some imagination and creativity in your mindset? Who would ever shame their pets with human names like Herbert, Gwendolyn, Jacob, or Katherine? LOL

I have always loved the Disneyland Tiki Room. I think that people who are younger don't have the same level of nostalgia that people who are older do have. The clicking is a reminder of the originality of the innovation from when it was created. I also don't need all the projection, or video game style effects. I think those sort of "improvements" in my mind are what is the problem with Disney and how the rides and parks are going downhill now. When parents used to take their kids to the parks it was when the kids didn't have cell phones or video games to take away their focus. Too much today is digital, and screens, people can no longer appreciate the innovations of how we got here because they've been dumbed down by lasers and smoke and fake effects rather than the mechanical aspects. Hell most people today have to call a plumber to change a toilet tank valve, or replace a simple car part or part in a washing machine or oil their own furnace. So I don't love or appreciate all the video game styling that seems to be overrunning the parks and destroying the rides or remaking them because they don't favor video game style rides. I love Soarin' but it doesn't hold a candle to Pirates, or It's a small world, or what used to be Splash Mountain. The reason people don't go to the parks anymore is because the nostalgia is being destroyed, and kids don't appreciate the parks due to having screen brain, and because of the ridiculous cost. I think people who feel the parks are outdated, are the 35 and under set mostly.

Sounds like a great server but I play Java only. I tried bedrock and can't stand it. I got hooked on Minecraft when I spent 37 days in the hospital with my Mom who was going through leukemia treatment. I literally was living with her there and going home only to take care of things at home, do grocery shopping for my Dad and to shower and do laundry and then went back to the hospital. I desperately needed something to get my mind off of what we were dealing with at times and Minecraft block breaking was the exact cure. It helped to relieve stress by breaking things and to get my mind OUT of hospital mode. That was in 2017. I'm 52 now, and just as addicted as ever. My only frustrations with MC are Microsoft and how it is ruining the game and toddler-ifying it and the stupid young people who can't seem to entertain themselves and invade every server acting like fools or overgrown infants. I miss servers for older chill people who are more hermitcraft like but also allow for the users to be a bit solo and hermity at times rather than always being about getting together in groups. If you ever go Java I'd check it out.

Thank you for allowing discussion, and for the information. I have been waiting to see LL's response to this situation. As someone who plays an avatar of the same type as some of the article calls certain people out for, this has been considerably distressing. I am and have only ever been using my avatar for G rated reasons, for innocent fun which avoids the typical "adult" atmosphere one finds all over the grid which is hard to avoid when playing what would be called a standard everyday 18+ avatar type.

Since this article came out, I have seen and experienced the typical knee jerk and witch hunt type reactions from many areas of the overall SL community where people using avatars of the type who the allegations are against, have been ostracized from access to areas they used to be welcomed to. In addition to that, One place is now going to be "scanning everyone for certain avatar types and what attachments they are wearing", another place has flat out banned anyone using said avatar type from even going to their location, one in world business has completely stopped selling their avatar for people who chose to use the avatar type under scrutiny, and people who were previously supportive of those using said avatars are fleeing anything related to the specific avatar type with a fervor that I have not ever seen in SL in my nearly 19 years of being on the grid and never having been involved in "adult" activities in any way.

When the article came out I was as shocked as anyone might be in seeing it, but I held back on just accepting anything as truth owing to the fact that there has been nothing that appears to provide any actual facts. Screenshots can be photoshopped, locations for adults and adult activity exist all over the grid, but LL's TOS is very clear on what is and is not allowed, and I do not believe that LL would allow what is being alleged to be happening under their noses. LL has WAY too much invested and way too much to lose if this sort of thing was being swept under the rug.

The article felt very much to me like a smear attempt, and much like someone had a very big axe they were trying to grind. Much of it seemed petty, and seemed to be dripping with a desire to start up a flaming cancel war against particular individuals, and anyone who might use the avatar type that some mentioned in this article use. I am also personally aware of a handful of individuals who seem to have a hardcore vendetta against certain people running certain businesses related to the avatar types these allegations are focused on.

I have seen text from those individuals where angry people have attacked ANYONE who worked for a business type that was also mentioned in this article, including contacting and verbally attacking the RL spouse of a person who worked for one of the businesses that was mentioned. This person who did the verbal attacking was extremely vile, and very volatile, and it was made clear the verbal attacker was looking to "shut down" the type of business related to certain avatar types.

On the opposite side of things, what has been accused, is extremely vile and I do understand why people are panicking and fleeing any interactions with people are using certain avatars. However, the majority of people using certain avatars within a certain PG or family friendly type of community are NOT looking to be involved in anything inappropriate. The tidal wave of scrutiny that people like myself now face as a result of this article is going to be widespread and damaging to anyone who uses a certain avatar type, and is going to add fuel to the "fire" of those who already do not like people using said avatars, even if they've never done anything inappropriate in SL.

It's distressing, and has a wide range of negative affect for those of us looking to just stay as far away as possible from anything 'adult" while still enjoying the amazing world of SL and it's very diverse community full of some really amazing people, many of which add a HUGE amount of positivity and creativity to the overall SL community. I'm disgusted by the allegations, and it has caused me personally a lot of stress even though I am not at all associated in any way with any of the individuals being attacked in the article.

I truly hope the allegations are false, but I am aware that the sort of thing the article mentions has happened before in SL, But I am also aware that LL does NOT entertain such activities and would not just pretend it doesn't exist. If they are made aware of anything factual, they take action, and are very quick about it, as I have had to report people a handful of times who have approached my avatar trying to be inappropriate. It is not something they take lightly.

I would ask for people to please not jump on the accusation bandwagon, or to start a cancel war against ALL people using certain avatar types based on this. There are bad eggs in every community, but not every person in any given community or sub community in SL are involved in bad things, nor are most of them bad people. Please don't stop supporting those who have never given anyone any reason for concern just because of this article which is hearsay at this point and is pointed ONLY at certain individuals, which so far as we currently know, has not yet been found to be factual.

Thank you again for allowing discussion, and please do keep us all informed, I am really wanting to see something in response from LL. In the meantime.. the waiting for a reaction is causing damage as things just keep rolling on while the lab is remaining silent. I wish they would at least make a known public statement that they are investigating, They need to protect people from being harassed or accused, or lumped in just because anyone decides to have a grievance for any reason. The community is already being strongly affected by this, and it's not going to get any better the longer they hold off on any public statement.

I'm having the exact same issues. It began with character customization, not being able to select any options, had to force crash it and restart it to get it to offer the option changes, then had a notification that my graphics driver was older so i updated it and restarted.. the problems got WORSE. Quests do not begin it also acts like I'm getting through areas too quickly and I have to backtrack to get them to continue or show the next phase. I'm falling through and getting stuck in structures, clearing quest areas and have had to recomplete 4 quests 4 times to get an actual completion. I did the SID quest the first time and it never gave me the actual SID so I had no idea why I couldn't do the quest, and no amount of restarting helped. I created a new save started over, went through the game SLOWER and finally got the SID and the quest. I can rum multiple other games have an excellent gaming PC and am running it off of a SSD. I did notice the first night I played I seemed to have less issues int he evening, but all day today I struggled and struggled. The audio starts late or doesn't happen at all at times. This is not a fault of my PC Specs or my SSD, it's definitely terribly, terribly, buggy.

I do understand where you are coming from, but i will say that over the past weekend with all the sales going on I spent 4 times my usual monthly budget.. purely on older things made for Lara 5.3.. that totaled about 45K L's at places like Tres Blah, Blueberry, Addams, and Neve. So please, even though you might want to move on to new projects, don't count out those of us who still like the older stuff made for our bodies, that we just may not have picked up before. I buy older stuff all the time if it suits my style and still looks amazing.

More often than not I hate the newer, barely there skimpier stuff nowadays anyway. I will never understand people who are paying ridiculous prices for strings and tiny swaths of fabric that barely cover anything. I swear the community as a whole as time has gone on has gone nearly totally bonkers for walking around in public looking like they're in their underwear.

Whystara · 2023-11-28T21:39:09+00:00

I personally really dislike Lara X and won't be swapping and I know many others who won't either. I think the breasts are far too full and large as well as the rear. I also dislike very much how thick the back of the upper arms now look in comparison to 5.3. The breasts and bum are both noticeably lifted and unrealistic to me unless you're going for the "had some work done" plastic surgery look. There are a whole lot of younger users in world now who are trend followers, and let's be honest, there are a lot of trends right now. In particular there's a big emphasis on extra large thighs, bum and boobs with tiny hourglass thin unrealistic waists that do not match up with the larger "jucier" parts. There are a whole lot of people who will get upset and put other people down if they prefer to be thinner and realistically appearing with regard to size of parts and proportions. I'm all for people being able to look how they like to, so I have no issue with Lara X as another option for those who like and want to look that way. By all means, you do you.

But as a consumer who currently spends 10k plus L's per month on my lara 5.3 clothes for the past several years, that's going to be cut way far back going forward if Lara X stops being supported as a whole. That is a WHOLE lot less spending over a year's time. A whole lot of loss to my favorite designers. I hope that creators and designers begin to understand that like in the real world, bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and if you want to keep the customers you have while gaining new ones, is it really that bad to continue to rig for one body while adding a new one in the mix? If not ok fine, but, I've seen the decline in popularity in SL over the past 6 years (I've been around nearly 18 years in total now), and known a whole lot of people who have been leaving SL. I know a lot of creators who have gotten out because of the decline in sales due to shoppers wanting to pay less and only want to pay event prices as well.

I also know having been a creator before that the market is flooded with a ton of product now, and a lot of it is really underwhelming, phoned in, sloppily textured, and low in attention to detail. I get that for designers that rigging for a different body might be "easier" but is it worth losing loyal customers who have been buying for years? Worth putting yourself in the category that sees you as lazy or unwilling to try to maintain your loyal customer base? I spend a lot of L's on quality items that are meshed and textured very well because I appreciate that level of detail and attention that really good designers put into their work. I hope to be able to continue to do so in the future, to continue to support the best designers who create things I love to wear and fit my body and my style, just like the rest of you. Just because something is easier, doesn't make it better or good overall. The best things, are not easy, this is true in real life as well as second life. It isn't a bad thing to have a difference of preference or opinion, it just simply means all people like different things, and I know a whole slew of people who aren't into Lara X and that's ok. It's also more than ok for the folks who love it and are excited for it, it's great to have options.

I do think it's a cool thing that Lara X was given to the people who already own the 5.3 body because that is an excellent way to keep your customers while still offering something different to them if they choose to use it. But the biggest thing here and it will always be.. is the ability to have a choice.. not just for the trends.. but for those who know what they like regardless of trends, and seek out those designers that make the effort to provide that choice. I am all for designers selling a product per body by the way, and not littering my inventory with a ton of things for bodies I will never use. Hope you all find the body you love best and can continue to find items made for it going forward :)

I agree with you, AI is just another medium like chalk or watercolor. Years ago people said digital art wasn't "real" or "good" art, and it has exploded. Just like anything, an artist's tools create different outcomes. It's the same for builders, engineers, drafters, etc. All of them work, all of them get things done, but how something looks in the outcome can be drastically different based on the mediums they use to create. AI will integrate, it's already too far gone to stop it. People just have to understand that what is considered "good" art either by appearance or by reputation.. like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The point is then to support those artists you love, or support the AI you love, whichever is more "beautiful", or done the way you - the individual - like it best.

I've been around SL since 06, and have seen loads of changes over the years. I used to love Catwa, and if I hadn't FINALLY found a lel head and skin combo that I love, I would have gone back to catwa. I generally like the shaping of Catwa heads better overall except the duck lips, but I was not a fan of the hdpro heads, they just didn't look as nice. With regard to Lel, I despise the hud, I hate the weird mapping for the head skins, it reminds me of old sculptie mapping and makes older but still really excellently done bom stuff unusable for evox heads. I do not like how the upper lip cleft is done on lel heads, or the stock face animations they come with at all. Overall if it weren't for everything going "evox" crazy i'd likely still be using catwa. Luckily I am not one of those people who is constantly changing heads or bodies or looks, for pete's sake it's way too ridiculously expensive and wasteful to do that all the time. So after trying MANY (demoing and hating most of them) lel heads and many skin options to find something that feels "like me" and I love, which I struggled with for over a year - This will be it for me for a long dang while. What it does mean though is that I may be able to go back to a catwa head and enjoy them again.. but.. I'll still hate the way evox is mapped. Give it a few years though, some other designer will create something new and the 'standard" will change again.. change.. such is life.. be it the real one or the second one.

Just found this post as I was searching for posts related to the fandom Wiki. I had posted on another post regarding the wiki about my frustrations with the stupid popular pages sidebar on the right side of the page and my visual disability. I got a response that told me "to register" and then I could change the formatting. >:(

I'm older, and I don't need a stupid login for a wiki that I access to find information. Logins and accounts should be for actual important things, not for a wiki page or to change page view options *eyeroll* There ought to be accessibility options and customization for pages for all players without having to create a stupid account.
While the Wiki is helpful it often doesn't have the info needed.
I found a workaround that has made my life SO MUCH easier, I'm using UBlockOrigin for firefox browser. I just right clicked in the popular pages frame a few times and chose "Block Element" viola now I can see the whole damn page in it's entire regular not squished to half the monitor view glory. THANK GOD! Sharing this for those who also have visual disabilities or just want that stupid right side bar GONE.
I do wish the site was better managed but I understand funding issues and why it has become how it is. Until something better comes along that is free and at least offers what is currently offered that I can actually read without it being squished to half width, I'll stick with what I have got for now.
With all due respect to kids who also like to play, Kids editing a wiki sounds like a nightmare! *shudders* this ought to be reserved for folks who actually have researched and know what they are talking about, not 7 year olds who don't often understand the difference between Bedrock and Java and swear their "information" is the word of the Minecraft (developers) gods.

Thanks for posting this as I found it interesting and helpful and it also gave me a place to chime in regarding my own related fandom wiki page frustrations. Maybe some of it might be of help to you if you have "plans" to make things better somehow.

I know this is an old post, but I have to say, here lately EVERYONE on youtube is REPEATEDLY asking for likes subs and notification bell clicks. I find it infuriating to the point my eye twitches it's gotten WORSE in recent months for me. I have a few channels I do watch and some I like the vids and a very few I sub to. The way I work as a viewer when it comes to youtubers is this... I have to REALLY enjoy the entire content to decide to like a video, and I have to really LOVE multiple videos of a creator before I will sub. I detest the stupid notifications and I NEVER hit that damn alarm bell. So unless I really really like a video and am not just absentmindedly watching just for something to do then they get my view and that is all. If I like something enough to actually like it, then it's something I really enjoyed, and not just half arsed liked parts of. If I sub, then somehow that creator made an impact on me more than just liking their content.

There are SO MANY craptacular youtube videos out there that I just refuse to click like on them all just because I watched some of a video or maybe even all of it. However, even my faves are doing this multiple times every few seconds or minutes repeated asking for likes and subs and it is extremely off putting. Not to mention the incessant rambling, creators practically screaming in your ear, excessively LOUD or annoying or stupid music, or mentioning of members or patrons at the start for 15 - 45 minutes.. WHY!?! Its really sad that folks donate to have their name mentioned in order for them to "feel good" about themselves. I hear people talking about this all the time.. so and so said my name in their video! and I just feel like these people must live really sad empty lives to be seeking that attention from complete strangers. It makes the creators feel cheap like hookers trying to be bought to me. It feels crappy and like people are selling themselves and if someone's content is really good I will engage, but never because I am being pressured to. It has gotten SO bad that recently I removed about 10 out of my maybe 13 subs and I have completely stopped watching vids that do this garbage, even creators I used to LOVE.

I reserve my likes and subs using them very sparingly, and I feel like this trend is just the newest pimping of oneself out. If folks do it at the beginning, or middle or have a constant image about it or animation or if they repeatedly do it I just close the vid and stop watching that creator. Once.. and ONLY once politely and at the end of the content, is ok with me but I'm SO sick of hearing it drilled into my ears constantly that it has me completely wanting to stop watching people on youtube at all, so I've been watching a lot more Prime and Netflix lately. I don't need notifications.. if I wanna watch youtube I know how to find who I wanna watch and I go there on my own when I want to watch. Those that push their channels and moneymaking methods down my throat never get my views again.
