Dear Escapist...

I have to agree that they should try to vary the CMs a tad. I know they generally move from sponsor to sponsor, but I don't think it would hurt to vary it a bit.

Wow, it must be incredibly easy to take the appeal out of things for you.

Still, fuck the site for trying to make money so you can keep watching these shows for free.

You misunderstood. I'm fine with ads, but it's fucking annoying to see the same fucking ad every single video.

Ads are a necessary "evil" in order for you to watch the content.

By the same token, though, you could say the same about the ZP theme [after he stopped using other tracks, obviously].

.. ..Don't know why ads bother people so much. Just do something else for 30 seconds, it's only half a minute and during that time you can go get a snack, text your girlfriend, heck even do a 30 second survey on another Tab.

This website needs to have Ads in order to get money. Maybe they should have different Ads presented, but the way you presented yourself is not going to influence them one bit. Especially by cussing them out... .seriously? How can you ever present yourself in life if you'll be so disrespectful? Hate to see you act that way during an interview..

Go watch 10 ZP videos, and let me know if you get any ads other than from slim jim. It's 3 am in the morning and the only thing I felt like doing to cure boredom is to watch ZP, not "do a 30 second survey".

A dramatic presentation of the OP being interviewed.

"What seriously?, I've walked through your offices and everywhere I look there are banners of this companies name?, seriously guys!, fucking everywhere?"

Yes I know, its both a shit and extreme example!, apologies.

In one of the more sane threads that happened during the Extra Credits shitstorm, an Escapist staffer said that they often have a hard time getting advertisers. That's why the same ads come up so often, and repeatedly back to back. If they could get more advertisers, they would. Escapist isn't the only site to have this problem.

More importantly OP... What's your opinion on load times?

OT: I don't think you've grasped the concept of business.
