Update

You do YOU! You don’t need to worry about the impossible-to-please people. Easier said than done, I know. You’re doing great and we adore you. Take time to breathe and monitor your stress level. Keep up the fantastic work and remember we’ll still be here patiently waiting and happy with what we get. 🌷

Love you, girl---sorry you have to deal with this BS :( If it helps to know, I didn't personally get any ads while watching your newest patreon videos after this policy change, so I didn't notice a difference. If others are seeing ads though, I'd suggest switching to Google Drive video embedding/sharing for an ad-free platform that keeps links private to those you share it with (aka, us patreon bubbles!). Either way, I hope your worries and troubles end soon, caitlin. We <3 you!!

ughh it drives me absolutely nuts that you even have to defend what you do on YOUR channel. I wish people would just be grateful for the amazing content you put out for us constantly. even if it's group i'm not interested in, i still watch because i love your reactions and your thoughts and opinions on things. and i also love rewatching things i've already seen because it is fun reliving it and i get so excited to see your reaction when i know something gooood is coming up. I swear we always have the same thoughts and biases etc. so i live vicariously through your reactions. I'm also so sorry to hear you had a crap week, i wish nothing but the best for you. Life is A LOT and mental health can be hard to manage but you've got a whole army right behind you ;) Sorry for this long winded comment but I want the positivity to shine for you girlie. You always put yourself first, okay? OKAY???????

Caitlin, always do what’s best for you 💜 people can tune into the content that suits them if they don’t vibe with everything and that’ll come when it comes. Please make sure to take care of yourself love 💜 you’re one person. No matter how much you press the gas if you’re on E nothings gonna come. So do whatever keeps your tank full so you can do what you love and it can stay what you live for as long as it can. I love watching you venture out to new artists and uncover all this really amazing music and these really talented artists. It makes me so full ☺️💜 you’re doing amazing. I’m going to be hoping and praying that whatever balance you find works for you the best and you find the most peace there 💜 you bring so much joy to my TL so thank you so much! Much love 💜

Thank you! It's a place to start. 💜 EDIT: That app works perfect, thanks for recommendation!

I just choose a random one I found so 🤷‍♀️& I don't use the dailymotion app . https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hsv.freeadblockerbrowser

JoY

May I ask which ad browser you use? I would like to have one but have no idea what I'm doing. lol

Louella Wright

I really wish patreon has there own hosting site it would make it so much easier. I've also seen people use this site Utreon but I don't really know to much about it. It's no problem for me caitlin I just use an ad browser .

JoY

Thank you for the love! 😭 means the world to me! 🥺💕 thank you for sticking with me on this journey!

Caitlin Benson

I’m praying for you Caitlin. I joined Patreon because I enjoy and adore you. Even though you don’t react to who I listen to. I still love and enjoy you and the way you react. Watching you venture out into new groups is actually very enjoyable for me to see and see how certain groups make you light up. I just wanted to tell you that I’m here on Patreon and watch you on YouTube for you because I enjoy you and you make me smile. And laugh. Your such a joy and I appreciate you :)

Jessica

I will definitely consider that if I can find a way to make that work although I don’t really think there is a way to just pay for one specific video. I think you have to join at least one of the tiers but I can double check to make sure.

Caitlin Benson

Hi Caitlin, since you're making some changes. I would like to suggest something. Is there anyway you could provide us an option of charging specific amount for each video without having to join the membership? Because I joined your Patreon for certain contents such as Ateez, Stray Kids and Kingdom and it's not very worth it for me when I don't watch other videos and have to wait for some times until you drop the videos I want to watch. If it is possible, I would just want to click on the video I like to watch and pay for that specific video. I'm sure there are other people in the similar situation as well. So please do consider this request. Thank you

Han Naing

No worries, Caitlin! We gotchu 💜💜💜 Thank you for the hard work and all the genuine content you give us!

Yanyan Yanyan

Thank you for the hard work Caitlin and all the content despite your struggle! We can handle the ads. Hope you sort out whatever's on your plate. Always take care. We 💜 you :)

AustineC

I'm sorry this week hasn't been the best hopefully, it gets better soon! Just like everyone else has said, don't worry too much about the ads because they really aren't that big of an issue. I personally don't know how you've managed to stay so consistent with putting out content, I certainly couldn't manage it all. So thank you for doing as much as you are doing, I wish everyone would be more appreciative of everything you do because I know it can be a lot at times. All the love :)

Michelle 🤍

Big hugs! I’m so grateful to you and all of the other reactors who put in so much work for us. Seeing how frustrating the technology is for you just makes me appreciate it more!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

MaggieQ

Omg annisa thank youuuuuu! I will definitely check it out! 😭🥺💕

Caitlin Benson

Hey Cait, ive seen some reactors switched from vimeo and Dailymotion to Muse.ai for the same reasons. Maybe you can check them out 💜

Annisa Herdyana

No worries, my dear! Love your content and give zero fucks if there are adds or not as long as I still get you 🥰🥰🥰 At least for me, the same goes for the schedule. I don’t really pay attention to it and it’s like a new fun suprise every day to see what I might get. We stan a multi stan but are well aware how hard it can be

Laura Moore

I'm sorry about your week, I hope it gets better! To anyone that is bothered by ads on Dailymotion, if you use google chrome then I highly suggest you get the AdBlock Plus chrome extension; it's free and takes less than 5 minutes to add to your browser. It blocks all ads on Dailymotion as well as ads on other sites like Youtube, so if you are truly bothered by the ads I suggest getting it!

Bless you, Caity, honestly you are the sweetest. I do not understand people who complain about a reactor not getting to their faves. It's not their channel, it's yours!! 🙃 I sincerely hope no Patreons have given you their "frustration" but if so, I sincerely hope they step in a poop cake.

Angela

I’m sorry your week has been good. I’d you can’t find a solution to the ads right away that’s totally fine. I can live with ads on a video for however long it takes. I personally like that you alternate on Thursdays. I’m very new to a lot of groups and gives me the opportunity to check them out and gauge if I vibe with the music. (Which is bad because I have almost every time 😅) I hope your weekend is better than this week and you can start fresh and stress free next week! 💜💙

Amber Lemons

Thanks for keeping us updated! I saw in one of your replies that you're going to be getting some help with your workload, that sounds like a great idea. I don't know how you've juggled all this, along with school, for as long as you have! And don't worry, a few ads won't hurt us while you check out your options (stupid uncooperative host sites). Take care of yourself💜

corey

That's okay Caitlin - do what you have to do. I'm sorry your week didn't go well, but I hope you get (take) a chance to relax and breathe this weekend. Your health is more important, so take your time. 😊💜

Vartite

It’s all good! Life just sucks sometimes lol I have head of Dropbox but they have a limit on how much you can upload just like Vimeo but I am looking at all options though! 💕

Caitlin Benson

Thank you Diani! I appreciate your feedback!! 💕 hopefully I can figure out a better solution to that and one that works for me as well as everyone but at the end of the day whatever I decide is what will work best.

Caitlin Benson

I'm sorry about your week. Have you looked in to dropbox?

Crystal Taylor

Thank you! 💕 I’m actually hiring someone to help me with the load which is weird to say but this is my job and I currently do everything myself so it would be extremely helpful to have help lol but don’t worry I’ll take a break when I need to but I already took like 2 already ahah so I don’t want to take another but I’m sure next week will be wayyy better! 💕

Caitlin Benson

I’m sorry this week has not been good for you. I also had fix feelings with your idea for the Thursdays (as I don’t stan many groups), but at the end of the day, it’s your decision. I know you always try to give us constant and genuine content, and I’m grateful for that. And I know it can be hard to catch up with a lot of groups and fandoms, so making everyone happy is IMPOSSIBLE. Right now, you just have to make sure to take care of yourself so you can truly enjoy your experience!! All the love Caity💕 I hope Patreon is always a safe space for you, so please people BE KIND! Pd: Don’t worry about the ads!!

Diani Fernández López

Hopefully I can still figure that out because having ads in the middle of a reaction is really not ideal lol but thank you so much for being understanding 💜😭🥺 appreciate it!

Caitlin Benson

It's okay, I'm fine about the ads so don't stress to much about a new platform! If you need to make some changes here and on YouTube for awhile to not break down with school and stuff it's totally understandable. We got your back! ❤️

Hugo Kronberg

It's ok about the ads. I can handle that. Take your time. You are the sweetest for giving us so much content. 💜
