New videos, and lttstore.com

[Crynux]

Hello! I'm new to the forum, just signed up to leave kind-of give feedback on a recent change I noticed in the past week or so of videos.

 

Anyways, I've been a long-time viewer of LTT videos. Recently I've noticed that every (if not nearly every) video in the past week or so, has some segway thing specifically telling the viewer to go to the ltt store to buy a water bottle, shirt, or something.

 

I much rather the old method of just mentioning it at the end of the video - as an addon. For the most part, any longtime viewers know of the LTT store. So personally I just find the addition of a mini-segment in each video annoying and redundant.

 

Has anyone else noticed this? I do understand that maybe there's a drive to sell more merch - but now it seems forced - if that makes any sense. From my point of view - I've become much more hesitant to watch LTT videos. These new segments detract from the video.

 

Anyways, maybe I'm overreacting - but figured post could bring up discussion. Aside from that - loving the content, keep up the great work!

To me it also seems forced and overdone. I get why they are doing it, it just feels kind of out of place.

"I like how those device looks.. But doesn't look as nice as my shirt!! @ LTTStore.com!!" kind of out of place.

 

Anyways, I often can just press the "L" button (once or twice) quite quickly to skip the mid-video ad. Doesn't bother me too much, just somewhat annoying.
