[@francislachapelle123]

very bad and stupid stunt, I hope the money was good at least

[@johnstephens333]

This video turned me off of the game

[@francislachapelle123]

You are ACTIVELY participating in KZbin getting worse. You are poisoning the platform that pays you, and you are trying to alienate your viewers which viewerships' pay you. I hope you acknowledge how stupid that video was. Otherwise, you prove that you are part of KZbin's degradation effort

[@Joshmike-mx2qx]

@ScreenCrush I deleted my other comments to say this last thing. I unsubscribed to this channel. I think others should too, it used to be good content, now you pulled this crap. I'm done.

[@willfields6209]

The ad transition has finally taken over the entire script.

[@desertgsrider1]

An entire video that is an advertisement. No thanks!

[@s1gne]

This isn't an advertisement, it's a big warning that the game is made to be addictive. Maybe Ryan should puff some more Fume to get off that addiction (or maybe that didn't work and now he's addicterd to GoT Legens?)

Lol after these comments I bet he won’t do this again Good job everyone bravo 👏🏻

[@francislachapelle123]

unless people unsubscribe (like I did), that won't change a thing and he will do it again when people forget about it. Maybe he was even paid more for this ad than what he lost in future revenue with people unsubscribing. That's how disgusting this practice can be

[@thomas.d85]

I get that you need ads to keep this channel going but this is just annoying. This feels more like an endless ad with some snippets of information. After five minutes i gave up.

[@jaw2112]

Totally agree

[@mjgoodson]

Then buy a shirt!

[@ryanhoemke6046]

The fact that a channel this established and long running can make this big of a mistake with their content is kind of impressive. Never underestimate greed and delusion.

Same! I kept skipping and skipping and skipping away, like a little school girl going down the halls! 🤣

I really hope your live shows aren't just a sneaky new way to push ads.

[@douglaslopes5913]

Wow change the title to just "ad" please, no video essay here

[@Escrevercomtecnica]

Exactly!

[@toplookingdown971]

Agreed

[@CanadaCasper]

The best part of this video was commenting and liking all the complaint comments, which basically is almost every comment! Update: I have never scrolled through every comment on a KZbin video in my life, but it was so worth the vindication! I have never seen so many complaints for a KZbin video, it's award winning!

[@hollywouda]

🤣💯🤣

[@cameronrmwarren]

sir your channel is better than this

[@darbycheek2475]

Come on, Screencrush. Yall are better than this. Severely disappointed.

[@firesofkaladeshmtg369]

So just a really long advert.... thanks

[@arminhammerr]

This whole video was a commercial for raid shadow legends or something.

[@mrmagiceyez]

This is the longest commercial I’ve ever tried to skip past multiple times lol. Your channel is one of this best so I won’t hold it against you, but this isn’t the type of videos that you should do again.

[@Riz_Miah]

If the entire video is going to be an advertisement, at least put # ad in the title

[@CanadaCasper]

This! 🙌

[@duaynecollins9994]

Remember that guy pushing a cart filled with crap? That’s the whole show.

[@MrE23rising]

A whole ad video is crazy

[@FunTimeWithSouls]

Did I really just waste 11mins on a ad....

[@amcdavey]

You guys might as well be doing ads for Better Help. Hugely disappointed.

[@ryanhoemke6046]

Yikes. Unsubscribe

[@michaelrfx7]

This needs to stop Ryan! These ADs need to Fn STOP! I’m a paying KZbin Premium subscriber and the reason I pay KZbin is to avoid ADs and this right here needs stop. Too many channels are disrespecting the people who pay for YT Premium and have mech ads and other BS ADs I have no way of skipping. Stop the ADs or drastically reduce the Ads to one, or I will unsubscribe. Reduce the staff to cover the overhead to reduce the stress (let go of all interns), and stop covering shows no one is watching like Agatha on Disney. Makes these changes and get back and don’t burn out, no need to cover stuff that haven’t released because we value your take after something very popular pops. Stick with that. And reduce the ADs spots asap!!

[@CanadaCasper]

As a fellow KZbin Premium member I think you misunderstood the benefits of KZbin Premium. We get no KZbin Ads, but we still get the ads that are in the video itself by the creator, which you can fast forward through... unlike with non-premium KZbin where you have to wait to skip the ad if its even possible as some ads do not have that option. Many KZbinrs do the ads as a part of their video, in fact I would say more do it than not. At least with the ads done by the creators you at least get some sort of cosign by the creator of what ads they want to endorse instead of random KZbin ads. Also, if the video contains words or images that KZbin's advertisers don't want to be affiliated with then the creator will get no ad revenue at all for their content, that is why KZbinrs started doing their own ads in their videos. Now the real problem is that ScreenCrush disguised an entire video as being new content or a "video essay" which is a far cry of what this video is about, it was just an ad and nothing more! I will not unsubscribe just yet, but if Ryan pulls this poop again I will be done with ScreenCrush!

[@hollywouda]

@@CanadaCasper You took the words out of my mouth! ...or my keyboard I guess. 🤣

[@jeffreyhull6821]

Product placement video.

[@audiencepleasepodcast]

Nah this isn’t the one. Can’t believe I watched most of this.

[@kamilbelucci9276]

Those ads are beyond common decency. Lets all remember how ryan advertised betterhelp. Guy has a face of drug addict and he'll advertise anything for a paycheck. Channel had potential and tons of interesting theories and breakdowns, but for a while now without sponsorblock is impossible to watch it. This particular piece of art even sponsorblock will not be able to handle. Probably that is the purpose. Lets thank also for creators for participating on how KZbin looks these days

[@McKluskie]

This is a blatant ad nothing more do not waste your time and watch this garbage, very disappointed with the direction of screen crush lately.

[@GoRyder]

For some reason the "Skip ad" button isn't showing up.

11 minutes for an ad. Good grief. 😤

1st time I've ever given SC a thumbs down. I'm sorry, dude. I know you gotta keep the lights on and Doug in his well deserved kibble but find another way. Please.

[@CanadaCasper]

The only way I would have let this video slide is if Ryan mentioned he needed the ad revenue because Doug needs $15,000+ surgery or something.

[@Alex32304]

[@johnymashedpotatoes8264]

This entire video was for an advertisement and it’s pretty obvious

[@konawalchuk333]

Not going to lie. I'm 8 seconds in and im going to have to stop and give a thumbs down. The comments have convinced me (for the 1st time) to skip one of your videos. 😢

[@BRIKSFYOS]

A bro this ain’t it. We follow your page for reason and a whole episode as an AD is crazy. We expect better from a show we’ve been following for years

This is garbage. Taking a subject I’m interested in and ruining it by saying the word card or game every other word.

Would you mind elaborating on that for me? I did not watch that season of South Park yet.

[@eduardothomaz4261]

Don't ever repeat this. Do the sponsored part in a minute or two and move on with the content, otherwise you'll lose views the same way Daenerys lost her sanity in season 8 of GoT. This is my prophecy.

[@amirreza2612]

I love you Ryan, I really do. You're like muh king of KZbin. And I totally understand you need ads to keep the channel running, I sit through your ads all the time. But an entire ad video on top of very weak content and occasionally false information is not what makes us love you and screencrush. Please re-consider this.

[@CanadaCasper]

ScreenCrush disguised an entire video as being new content or a "video essay" which is a far cry from what this video is about. It was just an ad and nothing more! It is basically calling us all gullible thoughtless morons, which is such an insult! I will not unsubscribe just yet, but if Ryan pulls this poop again I will be done with ScreenCrush!

[@Jayfan34]

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, I hope the money they gave you guys made up for the revenue lost by Joker 2 being a turd that wasn't even interesting enough for folks to gawk at.

[@francislachapelle123]

they will probably lose some subscribers, I wonder if the revenue for this ad is still more than what he just lost in view time

[@CanadaCasper]

I dont quite understand the Joker 2 reference here? Was Game of Thrones Legends involved with Joker 2 somehow? Genuinely curious.

[@Jayfan34]

@@CanadaCasper May not be directly related, just referencing that Joker was such a bomb but in a boring way so people aren’t even watching videos to see the train wreck like they did for Madame Web. Tentpoles usually get them at least 500K views, this thing barely cracked 100K. That’s a lot of lost revenue.
