Yep, I’m using wefwef.app now, which is also very nice. Still have Jerboa installed for when it’ll be compatible with beehaw again.
I don’t mind the sponsor segments as much, I usually just skip to the end of them, but that’s only because it’s how my creators make actual money, and it’s not every video, and when you have adblock on, then it’s not as annoying.
But yes, you’re right, couple ads with sponsorships and product placements and soon the actual meat of the video is one tenth of the length. So what are we really watching here?
This sounds exactly like me. I go on a few subreddits still on my laptop, but only because there is no place else for some of my very niche hobbies. I don’t engage anymore though, I’m not logged in, I just lurk (though that’s been made increasingly difficult to do).
My sleep has improved a lot by not having Reddit on my phone. Better sleep = better mental health.
Stay strong!
I would be okay with it if the amount of ads and their length was reasonable, like one in the beginning and one at the end or something. For a longer video I wouldn’t even mind one at the midway point.
I didn’t start using adblockers until I was literally inundated and bombarded and sometimes with ads running the length of movie (no, literally).
It completely ruins the experience. I’m happy to support my creators directly though and I do.
A thing I also don’t understand is why they are scrubbing the service from some of the cancelled shows (you can’t view the previous seasons either). Why?
A show I was going to watch, but now can’t, was Queens of the Universe, a song/talent competition for/by queer people. We already don’t have that many queer shows, let me at least watch the first season of it.
Thank you!
Well, we play my own folkrock songs and then covers as well. We’re trying to make a chill atmosphere. We mostly want people to leave with a: “oh, that was really pleasant!”-vibe, but also mix in some humourous bits here and there to keep people entertained.
I work with elderly people, so I’m trying to make a book that explores some of the lives left unheard thorughout the decades :)
