Vacuum Sounds, Black Screen 🧹⬛ • 12 hours • No mid-roll ads

⚠️ 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.

Thanks for the different noises, DJ. These awesome videos help me sleep every night. It's always your KZbin channel I return to because of the selection that you have available. Do you think that you'll start making other types of content at some point?

[@DJGrossman]

You are very welcome, and I LOVE that my content is like a safe home base for you each night! It's hard to express how cool that is. ☺️ I'm absolutely branching out into new types of content soon! I plan to get back into writing music, so my new compositions will be available. In addition, many people have said they would like to hear my voice in my content more often, so I ran a poll about that and it was pretty clear that there's demand for panic/anxiety guidance to help people in the middle of attacks. I'm still gearing up for those and I want to make sure I do the best job I can, so it's going to be a while before they're ready. Did you have anything else in mind?

@@StaceuF ohhhh I'm so sorry! I understand completely. I'm a pedophilia survivor, so that REALLY screwed me up. I've been in therapy for many many years and that's the biggest thing that's helped me. Sending you healing energy & peace. 🙏🏽

[@DJGrossman]

Thank you for your kind words, and I'm thrilled that my work has had a such a positive effect for you. 🙂 I'm sorry to hear about what you've been through. As the years go by, I discover more and more people than I ever would have thought possible are survivors of that. Makes me feel quite naïve, really.
