I feel Dampening is a better word than balancing when it comes to these loops Reinforcing = Make thing stronger Dampening = Make thing weaker Balancing = Both depending on initial state

2024-01-23 03:15:34 +0000 UTCUnfortunately Firefox on iOS isn’t really Firefox because Apply forces the developer to use a different system. I think it’s Chromium based and that’s where all the problems come from. Desktop is the only way to beat the YT Ad dominance right now.

2024-01-19 23:25:10 +0000 UTCUnderstandable—but I pay to watch the videos here using the Patreon app precisely because of the ridiculous ad breaks on YouTube. I checked when the video went up on YouTube because this isn’t the first time I’ve seen this lag. I have notifications on about Patreon content just for this purpose, so that I can avoid the ever increasing ad content. By the way, have you had a Hardee’s Hot Mess Penn Station Liberty Biberty? Because it’s “agony, agony, a-gony” having to listen to that unskippable shit.

2024-01-19 18:05:30 +0000 UTCThis is why they're forced to conduct their official tournament Pokemon format in double battles. No one thinks doubles are the "normal" or "typical" format for Pokemon. They're just unwilling to balance the game enough for singles not to be a broken overcentralized cheese-fest. Only fan formats can be singles because we have to make up our own rules and ban lists.

2024-01-19 17:59:10 +0000 UTCIf you got EIGHT ad breaks, that's on YouTube. We have 2 set in the video and that's it. As for Patreon, we don't do Early Access anymore, everything is uploaded on YouTube for everyone at the same time, so the only thing you're waiting for on Patreon is the post that it's live. Usually up right around the time it goes live, and then the post goes up on Patreon. But the videos are always live for everyone on YouTube at the same time.

2024-01-19 17:58:49 +0000 UTCGreat video! Now for some shade. I pay for Patreon access so that I can watch these videos without ads. Yet the YouTube version of this video has been up for over an hour. I wanted to watch the video, and there were EIGHT ad breaks in that 12 minute video. Literally an ad break every minute and a half. I don’t know if it was just that YouTube was throttling me or sending me extra ads because I have been fighting them with adblockers, but that’s on YouTube. What’s on Second Wind is that patrons AREN’T getting early access to videos. We aren’t even getting simultaneous access to videos. We’re having to WAIT for ad-free videos. So that’s my gripe—why can’t you upload them simultaneously? I’d much rather not have to listen to fourteen ads about Hardee’s and Penn Station subs and Liberty fucking Mutual every minute. But that’s what trying to watch your videos on YouTube has become. Please, please, for the love of piss, upload for patrons sooner than an hour after everyone else.
