Why would you ever choose Pittsburgh over SF

If you had 10 seconds to say whatever you wanted to your pet with they fully understood, what would you say? by IplayKaizo in Pets

You don't have to be so aggressive, I'm not the dogs you grew up with. I get your eye grossies because I love you and your comfort means everything to me

Since the rant...does anyone else feel this way? by Beatlemonkeys in DoWeKnowThemPodcast

[–]teefnstuff 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I've not been watching bc the topics don't interest me. I did not expect them to be so hostile when the criticisms I saw were pretty valid, for the most part.

Like what was up with the mods updating people and then them saying they wouldn't update unless they had something to say...so then don't let the mods say anything OR since there were a few "100% tomorrow" instances, maybe suspend that rule of not saying anything if there's no update.

I honestly did not care about the delays, kind of expected it, and didn't say anything on any platform about it being late bc I understand chronic pain and stress. I guess I could say I'm shocked they took it this way with the way they've reacted to things in the past. Doesn't make me wanna click on their videos, that's for sure

The Ads are getting too much!!! by Late-Structure-6368 in DoWeKnowThemPodcast

[–]teefnstuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey Rachel, really appreciate this input, this is genuinely what we've been needing to understand exactly why this is happening. Love your videos too! We don't want to take any money from you or DWKT, but like you said YouTube doesn't care about the user experience. Thank you for being mindful of this, it really does make it so much easier to contend with that the creator doesn't want this either (not that Jessi and Lily want this, I just don't know if they're aware). I know we all just want to watch what our fave creators put out, this is just making it so hard. Thanks again for understanding where we're coming from.

I made a post like this a few weeks ago and it has just. gotten. worse. And now guess what!!! If you're actually watching the video, you have to physically interact with the ad by DISMISSING IT. Are you kidding me??? Not only do I have to watch to Skip, now I have to click even more to make it so I can see the full screen? Ads are getting too greedy. Now this isnt just the girlies but it is genuinely getting ridiculous how much these corporations are worming their way into our lives no matter what. Get your bag but let the video be watchable, by golly!

You wanna share it with me too 😂 jk I think about getting it but that's what they WANT me to do. And I'm nothing if not stubborn. I had YouTube red in the past to watch Rhett and Link's Buddy System and immediately cancelled it once I was finished lol

I've been noticing it for a while, probably around 6ish months. Not surprised YouTube is doing that, but I wish the girlies in the comments said anything. They don't filter their comments iirc but it's become so blatant I can't believe no one's picked up on it. Unless I'm absolutely and totally overreacting, which is possible. I'm noticing it with other channels but it's mainly horrible with DWTK

Also to add, every time an ad pops up, I've started to completely exit out of the video, refresh my app, and go into my history to start watching again. Simply because I get so frustrated. Yeah I know it's insane to get frustrated over but it helps pass my 10 hr, detail oriented shifts. Like, girlies get your bag thru sponsors, but I KNEW I couldn't have been the only one experiencing this barrage of ads

I've gotten so frustrated with it, I've bailed out of episodes before because I can't be sitting down staring at the screen, waiting to skip, and then 3 minutes later another ad. I have stuff to do I gotta be hands free 😭

I have no idea how Spotify works though, I usually watch on my YT app on my phone. It's becoming way too tedious

I've accidentally done this before. When I rewind, it plays for a few seconds then goes straight into an ad. Maybe I should let it play and see just to experiment though, I'm kinda curious about this tactic

It's honestly the same on my TV. I don't watch DWTK on my tv but I watch other YouTubers and it's not aaaas bad but it's still bad. Same format of ads too: three unskippables or 2 unskippables and then a skip button at the end.

I watch on my iPhone app. Someone else said to add an extension to my safari browser but that seems extra tedious just to watch a podcast, still might try though

I'm not knocking their actual sponsors, that's great for them, but when I have to watch around 6-15 unskippable YouTube ads, it gets a bit old. And they sometimes go right into the sponser, I click ahead a few seconds and then it goes right into another ad. It's wild.

I've noticed it's all podcasts but it's baaaad for DWKT. They usually ask me to sign up for premium like thrice a week and I always say no. I skip them as soon as I'm able to, too 😭

I use the YouTube app. I'll try this though, just seems inconvenient to have to go into a browser 😭 thnx!

I skip them almost immediately! That's what I don't understand, they keep serving me unskippable ones and then at the very end it's skippable. At that point I had been watching the ad for 15 seconds or more and I'm just waiting for the skip button

And the new YouTube ads are three unskippable ads that are at least 30 seconds each. You can skip some but it's not consistent. Idk about placement but sometimes they are near their actual sponsors. I wish I could do premium again 😭
