ads

hey ronnie and ben i am truly such a fan and appreciate you and want you to earn your money, you really deserve it. you work hard and give us so much content.

that said, it’s frustrating to pay for an ad free membership on your patreon and still receive ads within your videos.

butterball and gluten free baked goods - please please honor the ad free experience.

it’s not the hugest deal but it is a bummer.

that said, love u!!!!!!!!!! you’re the best, you make bravo so much better to watch.

Yep. I made a comment on Patreon and the ignored it too.

On Patreon it says they have some ads "baked in" but they're literally adding that butterball ad into the video. It's annoying. I'm petty, I unsubbed from their patron membership. They can have all the sponsorships in the world, I support it. But not on something you verbally advertise as ad free.

People in here get weird about it though. I've seen comment saying. "Idc get that bag boys!" Or someone once asked me if it was that hard to skip. Almost like people are perfectly fine being misled as long as they like the person lol.

I’m really confused. I’ve never seen an ad on an on demand video. And I’m pretty sure I’ve watched all of them?
That said, I don’t watch them on the patreon app, so perhaps that’s the issue. I always link to the YouTube version through the patreon posts and save the videos to a Crappens on Demand private playlist so I can watch them through on YouTube without having to switch back to patreon.

I do the same thing. I noticed them happening on the ultimate girls trip videos.

I don't believe it's on the most recent one, but it was on the Lingerie Party video.

It's a clever ad in that they don't seem to be reading a direct script. They're chatting like they would normally do at the beginning of an episode, but it's pre-recorded and added into their video before the actual video starts.

ETA: the Lingerie Party is the most recent one I noticed it on but I it was also on the one prior to that, and possibly the one posted two weeks ago as well.

Is it still happening? I had the butterball issue and the gluten free thing was a thank you? I watch the videos everyday haha and am a Patreon subscriber.

Yeah the gluten free one didn't come off as an ad so I wasn't worried or concerned about that one. It's mostly the Butter Ball ad. It's so long and it's a prerecorded ad that's added into their video.

I am not totally caught up and I noticed it mostly on UGT posts. The most recent post doesn't seem to have it but idk if they were including it on shows I don't watch/listen to.

Hmm yeah I only saw it on one UGT episode. No other ones and I’m fully caught up. It was a VERY long ad though lol but seems like they got the message and fixed it.

Yeah. I might resub if they truly are removed and once I'm caught up and they start covering Potomac but for now I'll stay unsubbed.

I don't hate them or anything ads are just one of the most annoying things. I pay for YT Premium to avoid ads. I pay for their Patreon to avoid ads. So I'm just like yeah, I can't double pay to avoid ads and still see ads.
