Linus' unfair treatement towards YT subscribers : WAN Show unlisted for a whole day

Go to solution Solved by colonel_mortis,

If you really want to watch the video immediately, might I suggest that you simply go find its thread in the "Linus' Videos, News and Ramblings" subsection of the forum, or you could even follow the subforum for even faster alerts when a video goes live. Linus & co's channel is very good because they put quality ahead of just pumping out videos, and waiting for the timestamps is a perfectly valid excuse. If you want to watch it without, go ahead, and Linus makes it pretty easy to find. Those that aren't on the forum, and would therefore not be able to take advantage of this, are much less likely to be hardcore fans that will be really bothered if the WAN show is uploaded a day late; those that do can watch it on twitch or just come and check out the forum to see whether the thread's up.

 

Your complaint is that in order to maintain the high production quality of the content of his channel, Linus is making you jump through a couple of hoops to view a video slightly earlier than general release while its finished off. Hardly a valid complaint IMO. Even better, you can help contribute to the timely release of the video to the public if you watch it early by adding timestamps to the GoogleDoc provided for that task.

Hi.

 

Now, this title might suggest that i'm banging on Linus' head with a huge hammer, but really, i'm just pointing out a new issue that i've never been exposed to before until the last two to three weeks, and i'll be very upset if it actually was longer than that.

 

Long story short, i'm a regular WAN Show viewer, i can't attend it live though, so my only way is to see the archive on YouTube, i'm not blasting fire in Linus based on my new ideas, but he believe that the viewers have THE CHOICE, so the video is already up, but only few thousand people can watch it... now i'm aware of the reason, the goal here is to put on timestamps, but here's the deal :

 

I don't care, and many more don't as well.

 

It's up the viewer to decide whether they want to wait for timestamps to arrive or not, there's no need (or maybe there is) to remind you that the show is at minimum one hour and a quarter long, watching it early during the week-end is crucial to me as it's one of my few portals to the most important news of the week, that's the whole point if my topic : If it's up, let it be set to public, doing otherwise is making the access to the content much more difficult for certain use cases, sure holidays are approaching and it'll become less of an issue but man... if i can ever get my hands on the stream when needed knowing that it's avaible and there's nothing standing in the way, that's just awesome, i don't want this to change for me as i'm aware of the new method, but it's much of a concern for other viewers who might feel kinda "betrayaled".

Stop bloating nonsense, and reason to contribute in a constructive manner.

Just watch it on Twitch which is available immediately after broadcast and always has been.

 

If you had done this simple research then this ridiculous 'betrayal' rant would not have been necessary.

Look again at the title :

 

"YT subs"

 

There are people who don't give a crap about Twitch, and as a bonus, i used to watch the archive on Twitch, but it's been really flaky on me lately, it's practically unwatchable for some, from a technical perspective, YouTube is much more stable.

Yeah the topic didn't receive the kind of responses i was hoping for, nonetheless, if you think keeping out YT subscribers from a video that's already up just because timestamps aren't ready, that's your opinion, not mine, i think they deserve the best treatment, as much as Twitch, and LTT forums.

But you aren't kept out... You guys still have access...

I didn't realize I was supposed to feel betrayed because Linus has the Twitch Archive ready to go right away but the YT one lags behind a bit as he properly uploads and gets timestamps going. 

 

On the humanity of it all. 

 

I don't even understand what the real problem is. The Archive is available in places other than YT...

Patience is a virtue.

And as the other people in this thread have already mentioned. You can watch the archive on twitch

....

you did a mistake posting this topic here, since you wont find any one here that will agree with you "except new comers". the majority of the members here knows how to get to the wan show archive either on twitch or linus's post.

i agree with you that i don't mind watching the wan show without the the time table, but if linus do post it like that on youtube it will effect any one who's watching the wan show for the first time, and any one who would normally chose to pick few topics from the wan show to watch instead of watching the whole thing. people new to the wan show would view it as low quality/incomplete work, same goes for any 1 looking to spend 10-30 mins on watching selected things on the wan show archive.

The alternative is to not get it until Saturday or Sunday or Monday when one of the Linus team members can do the timestamps.

So I'm not sure why you would be upset.

Usually the timestaps get put after the video, if you  are complaining because last wan show took a while to go up on YT it's because some video (can't remember which) was scheduled for that time so it pushed wan show back, but if it's such a big deeal to you you can watch the archive on twich

Something to bear in mind is that I have a life. At  the end of a long week on Friday, the WAN archive is a lower priority than making dinner, seeing my family or any number of other things I can be doing during that time. If it takes a few hours, it takes a few hours.

QFT. Some people here, and its generally the kids, don't realize that adults do adults things outside of this place. 

 

I have enough patience to wait a few days. Back that up, I can end up being busy that I don't even catch up on videos till a week later. 

 

People just need to learn some patience and realize that not everything is sunshine and rainbows.

As someone who watches on an AppleTV, it's never up until late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. About two months ago, it was up Saturday morning. It's been getting later every week.

Last time I checked, Linus isn't on your watch. So how about you watch the archive later instead of complaining about it.

He works incredibly hard and the community appreciates the hard work and fabulous content his team pushed out every day.

 

Thanks @LinusTech

 

Keep up the great work!
