A NOTE ABOUT "SPOILERS"
Added 2022-07-21 17:01:02 +0000 UTCHey Everyone,
I just wanted to give a brief (for me) note about comments and spoilers for Patreon and YouTube; I'm watching a lot of AMAZING series that I get so excited to go into blind with because of all the surprises, twists and turns, etc.
First of all, I don't want ANYONE to feel like they shouldn't comment on a video., because I love interacting with everyone...and I'm NOT a complaining person, so I feel awful posting this, but I feel I needed to be transparent with y'all! ^^
For the most part, everyone's comments are NOT spoilery but I wanted to let you know what I mean by "spoiler":
* Plot spoilers of things to come
* Things I've missed in the Discussions/Episode (I might catch onto them in future episodes, which would be a fun surprise!)
* Hints or Clues ("Make sure to pay attention to--" or "Your question about __ will be answered")
* Theories confirmed or de-confirmed (then I can't speculate like a madwoman for your amusement)
I know those don't seem like spoilers to a lot of people, but they do dampen my experience watching because they can give me false expectations, take away a surprise that would have been a cool reaction later on, or get my hyped for something that then is a let down.
I don't have moderators, or want anyone to volunteer their time for me (y'all have lives, hahaha), but if you DO want to talk amongst yourselves about spoilers in the comment, please Spoiler Tag so I know not to read it. That helps out SO MUCH!
I'm so lucky to have you all as supporters on Patreon and YouTube, and I feel I'm being very selfish posting this, but the big reason I started this channel was to interact via comments with everyone. I know 99% of reactors don't do this (probably for the reasons above), but I don't want to become one of them. I hope I can continue reading comments without worrying about it ruining my viewing experience.
I hope that this makes sense and hope I don't seem like a spoiler-gate tyrant, haha!
You all are amazing, and I appreciate every ounce of support. I don't deserve it.

I'm honestly SO LUCKY to have y'all be so kind to me about spoilers! I always feel like I'm nagging when I ask not to be spoiled, and I know you all are chomping at the bit to tell me things, so I'm really appreciative of how respectful everyone is on here -- I'm grateful to have an awesome group of people to talk about with these shows, for sure! :)

2022-07-28 19:50:21 +0000 UTCI've been incredibly impressed by how respectful your audience has been with a lot of these really popular hot-topic shows you've been reacting to recently. I know I've been trying really hard to keep things spoiler free but well done to the overall community. It's pretty rare to have such a devoted group of individuals carefully navigating the conversations while trying to protect the first time experience you're having with the media. I hope that your audience continues to respect the journey as your channel grows even bigger. It's been so fun to be a part of this community during this time!

2022-07-28 00:48:44 +0000 UTCThank you for the kind words and I'm grateful as well! And no worries; if you said something about characters yet to come, you weren't the only one -- I figured it wouldn't hurt to be transparent, and I'm thankful for everyone's understanding and support on here! I was nervous because technology can sometimes make the "tone" of what you write interpreted in ways that aren't what you meant, so I'm glad y'all are okay with it and it's helpful! :)

2022-07-23 03:43:24 +0000 UTCPlease don't feel bad. It's better to clearly convey your thought and boundary on what are counted as spoilers. Not only the reaction communities but every contents-relating communities such as social games, I think having some kind of guidelines make things more peaceful rather than leave members judging cluelessly. Appreciate your courage to bring this up. I recalled that I mentioned something like 'I like a character that have not come out yet'. My apologies for that spoiler. I also would like to take this chance to say that I love your kind&humble attitude and active communication on comments.
