Smooth Brown + Pink + Blue Noise, Black Screen 🟤🌸🔵⬛ • 12 hours • No mid-roll ads

[@DJGrossman]

⚠️ 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗔𝗡 𝗔𝗗 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗜𝗗𝗗𝗟𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗢? If so, I'm sorry that happened. I know it's awful to be startled by a mid-roll ad. I have them disabled on all of my content, but KZbin has a confirmed bug that causes them to play for some viewers anyway. It's not just my channel - this has been a problem across the entire platform since at least mid-2022. KZbin's engineers know about the bug and what causes it to happen, but unfortunately, they have not provided any information about when (or if) they will fix it. The bug tends to manifest as a 30-second mid-roll ad played around the 6-hour mark, and it disproportionately affects iPhone and iPad users. I have been investigating this for a very long time, and I go into more detail about my findings here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJXIhomdj7KbZ7s If you are affected by the bug but still want to access my content, I recommend that you view this video's description and try one of the alternatives I have provided, such as Spotify or Odysee. If you want to stay on KZbin, you'll find that I have live stream versions of my most popular content, and they tend to be safe from the bug - but not always. The only guaranteed way to never get ads on KZbin is to subscribe to KZbin Premium, which I understand is not an option for everyone. As it turns out, the reason I have the luxury of disabling ads everywhere KZbin will let me is because my channel makes the vast majority of its revenue from KZbin Premium. I have reviewed my analytics data and it appears that KZbin does not compensate me for the mid-roll ads in question, which I suspect is because their systems cannot reconcile the fact that a mid-roll ad played even though I have them disabled. You are welcome to reply to this comment with information about what happened to you, but at this point, we have a pretty solid understanding of what's going on and are just hoping it will be fixed. Historically, it helped when viewers would list what type of device they were on, which app or browser was being used, the approximate timestamp of when the ad played, and what company/product/service the ad was for. I appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter, and I'm sorry there isn't more I can do.

I got an ad on my cell phone in the beginning of the video for Paula's Choice skincare

[@DJGrossman]

@@mfaf550 Thanks for your comment! Unfortunately, ads at the very beginning (and sometimes the very end) are expected now.

[@topazsanfelipe]

I have not stumbled upon an ad on this. And I thank you for not having one. I'm a light sleeper and I use this to get a decent night's sleep. Thank so much! (I'm on a Samsung mobile device)

[@Kaydee-haiku]

got one around 7 hr mark woke me up 🥲 (iphone)

[@Kaydee-haiku]

got one around 7 hr mark woke me up 🥲 (don’t recall ad clicked off quickly. iphone user) but i have not gotten ads on your other lives 👍

[@rosebud6485]

Thank you for some more awesome audio!!! ❤

[@DJGrossman]

You are very welcome! I'm happy to hear you like it. 😁

[@DisneyYoutube717]

I had no ads!

[@DJGrossman]

Good! You weren't supposed to. 🙂 Hope it stays that way.

[@aprylkioko7335]

Excellent mix. Thank you ❤

[@DJGrossman]

You're quite welcome! This one was a request - glad you like it. 😄

[@karenguerro]

Thanks for a wonderful sound tonight ❤

[@DJGrossman]

You're very welcome! Enjoy. 😁

[@joshwimbury9498]

This is like the trifecta of sleep

[@DJGrossman]

Precisely!| Hey, want to hear something funny? I got an email today from TuneCore (they're the company that lets me put my stuff on Spotify and some other streaming platforms) saying that this exact track has been flagged for artificial streaming - you know, like people using bots/AI to rack up a bunch of plays to get more royalties. Who would even do that? 🤷‍♂

[@MariahCollins-qr4vv]

No ads for me . Idk why people are saying there getting ads . He works hard to make sure we don’t get ads . Thank you. We love and support uour channel ❤

[@DJGrossman]

Thank you so much for your kind and supportive words. 🥰 That means the world to me. You're right that I do everything in my power to make sure no one gets mid-roll ads, but it does happen, and I proved it by running my own experiment. People have every right to be upset about it. I just wish they would be upset with the platform instead of with me personally. 😔

[@KarlyKewell]

I’ve been getting ads on this nightly! Usually only one but it ends up waking me out of a dead sleep. I’m so disoriented when it happens I forget to check what time we are at or listen to what the ad actually is. I think it’s been around the 5hr mark though and I want to say last nights was some car ad.

[@DJGrossman]

I'm sorry that's happening to you. I highly recommend that you watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJXIhomdj7KbZ7s

[@roccop913]

Lol I like u!!! And yes!! Ugh it's the worst!!!

[@Mamamarie06]

@@KarlyKewell because it has to be live version. If they say kve you will not get ads.. ever

[@rabeelzainab8756]

Thank you so much for these types of videos, they’ve really helped me focus on my studies. I appreciate your effort in making these and hope you continue to do so. I’ve managed to top in many subjects listening to these vids and would like to thank you again 💗💗

[@DJGrossman]

You are quite welcome! It's fantastic to hear that they've been a small part of your scholarly success. 💯

[@JonesDylan874]

SOOOOOOTHING SOOOOOOOOUNDS... thanks for this, man.

[@DJGrossman]

It's a good one, right? 😁 You're welcome, glad you like it!

[@Healingwithflo]

Bro monetize and get that money just place the ads in the beginning and the end we will be ight 😂❤❤❤

[@DJGrossman]

@@Healingwithflo Don't worry about me - my channel is monetized. 🙂 Most of the revenue is from KZbin Premium, not ads. Much better!

[@Healingwithflo]

@@DJGrossmanok I won’t worry but I’m also not gonna complain about monetizing cuz I work with KZbin and I know how it is! We gotta get paid for the work we do! ❤ gonna be a loyal listener of your work ❤

[@brelajonez]

First night listening to this I slept 11 hours straight. Didn’t wake up once 😭♥️

[@DJGrossman]

That's an epic night's sleep! I'm jealous. 😲

[@raichel8443]

found a new noise i like. might switch up from the pink noise vid IDK THO

[@DJGrossman]

Hehe well, the good news is that the noises won't take it personally if your brain wants something different now and again. 😂

[@MTrevek]

I got one for the last 2 nights. It woke me up. But since I have it so low and I was so sleepy, I could not make out exactly what the ads were.

[@DJGrossman]

I'm sorry that happened. I posted a video about this problem recently here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJXIhomdj7KbZ7s I would recommend switching to an alternative platform instead of KZbin. Please check the description for options.

@ seven months late 💀🙏

[@robloxgameleaker]

unrelated comment but I can't notice between this and green noise no hate

[@DJGrossman]

That's okay - a lot of people can't tell these apart. That was actually a big problem for me some years ago, because KZbin kept demonetizing me because they thought I was just uploading the exact same video over and over again (spoiler: I wasn't!). Funny thing is, nowadays, there are people actually doing that, but KZbin leaves them alone. Coooooooool.

[@Beans_blades_VMOGroup]

It's bc if you mix brown pink and blue you get kind of a green color 🤷

[@Crazyspobgebob]

suggestion: make more shorts

[@DJGrossman]

Shorts make great advertisements, but not much else. 😬 Maybe when I have more time, I could put a few more out. 🙂

[@Crazyspobgebob]

@@DJGrossmanyou aren’t in the shorts fund?

[@DJGrossman]

@@Crazyspobgebob I am not. I didn't even know KZbin did one of those, but now I see that they had one a couple years ago - probably to try to catch up with TikTok by encouraging creators to flood KZbin with Shorts. I think that fund is gone now, and instead Shorts generate a very teeny tiny amount of revenue. If you're in it for money, Shorts are NOT the way to go. But as I mentioned, they make decent advertisements. My actual content tends to be better suited to long form, so that's where my focus has been so far.

[@amyjessw]

Please change the title - the ad always plays so I've stopped using this one.

[@DJGrossman]

I'm sorry you are getting mid-roll ads. Have you read the pinned comment for information about why, and what your options are to make it stop happening?

[@tonymatkovich790]

An ad played in 4 hours 20 minutes ugh

[@DJGrossman]

I'm sorry that happened. Did you see my pinned comment about the problem and what you can do about it?

[@tonymatkovich790]

@DJGrossman oh I just got up I'm in New Zealand 10am here Still love your channel mate

[@DJGrossman]

@@tonymatkovich790 No worries! You might check out the version I have uploaded to Odysee. No ads at all on that platform. 😉
