Thoughts on Live Drops?
Added 2024-08-07 23:51:34 +0000 UTCLive drops are like the YouTube premiers feature where the video is pre recorded but you can watch it live with sushi squad and live chat. There is also a countdown letting you know when it starts. There is a 2 hour minimum countdown which is the downside to this. If shows get uploaded early enough in the day is this something that you guys would like occasionally? Would love to hear your thoughts!
Edit: Reading some of these comments, maybe we hold off on live drops for now until it gets a little more polished. Seems a lot of you have problems with it lagging and freezing

Update, I can comment on iPad on the lives but not on my phone, so I can comment now. Thanks Ron

Ron Jackson Jr
2024-08-09 05:24:54 +0000 UTCI prefer to see the upload video, that is with 0 spoilers for you. Sometimes when is LIVE, the chat give spoilers unnecessary. At least for Naruto, I don't recommend it

2024-08-08 18:04:55 +0000 UTCI like live drops. But the issue is the time difference. I live in the southern part of India. It’s around 1:30 am for me. If it is in the weekend, I can join but it’s in the weekdays. I will try to watch at least once if possible.

2024-08-08 08:26:52 +0000 UTCI think the only difference between live and regular drops is the live chat, which doesn't matter at all. In fact, there are more downsides, with flaming, arguing, bots, etc
Damien Lee
2024-08-08 04:31:49 +0000 UTCI thought that the video freezing and lagging was because of my internet connection ! So it was the Live Drop feature, then.

2024-08-08 04:12:14 +0000 UTCTo me, who watched the video after the live, it was very laggy.
Taka
2024-08-08 02:51:28 +0000 UTCTo reply to ur question Ron, Naruto would absolutely destroy pain in this mode zero diffculty
pookie
2024-08-08 02:25:27 +0000 UTCDon't like, sorry. I will watch after live. If you two consider streaming I would watch that instead.
rryutie
2024-08-08 02:18:03 +0000 UTCHonestly doesn’t matter to me since either way I’m gonna watch them later than they’re posted, so…. Whatever works best for you guys
Thunter
2024-08-08 01:53:47 +0000 UTCI don’t really fw it but it’s aiite ig I’ll watch after the live end
Raventerrace
2024-08-08 01:46:15 +0000 UTCI don't think i used the feature as intended since i watch the episodes whenever i feel like it, but i like the notification which makes it very clear is gonna be up in X. I know that you re quite consistent with the uploads but the certitude of "i can watch this in 30 min if i'd like" just make me feel better lmao. Not sure how much of a pro or cons is.
Valeriu Irimia
2024-08-08 01:35:37 +0000 UTCPlease guys you can't fast forward on the live drop videos. So can we vote for the option that enables freedom for all of us?
Shiyao
2024-08-08 01:32:57 +0000 UTCLive drop doesn't allow us to skip or move around and we have to wait an extra 50+ minutes for the full live drop to end in order to see the episode. Not a fan, just like youtube live drops.
AyBe
2024-08-08 01:31:29 +0000 UTCIdk if you guys will see this but it seems a lot of people that are saying they dislike the live drops are under the impression that they’re having to wait longer because they see a timer. To my understanding the live drop is just giving us a heads up that the video will be available soon which can only be a good thing. But if it is glitchy or slow then it might be good to just regular upload
Sleeping
2024-08-08 01:28:14 +0000 UTCOnly issue with me is i can't comment on them which sucks but like Ron said the new feature is updating. Seems other ppl having issues with it too
Kayso
2024-08-08 01:25:40 +0000 UTCIt’s going to be uploaded at the exact same time whether it’s live drop or not, live drop is just allowing you to know ahead of time when it will be available
Sleeping
2024-08-08 01:25:17 +0000 UTCI didn't say anything about it being mightly fancy, just meant that the countdown was cool the first time.
Rimuru Tempest
2024-08-08 01:16:12 +0000 UTCIt’s pretty cool, it’s like a show on cable I never noticed this was a YouTube feature too
Lemmiwnks
2024-08-08 01:09:02 +0000 UTCThat's valid
Patrone07
2024-08-08 00:59:49 +0000 UTCThey don't try to actually form any reason for it they just want to tell you they dislike it
Patrone07
2024-08-08 00:58:53 +0000 UTCYeah exactly, otherwise, I don't mind
Kevin Abraham
2024-08-08 00:57:10 +0000 UTCI would like them but it gets uploaded for me around 03:00 AM so I barely get to see it. I am only awake at that time to go to work so if it could be uploaded earlier would be the best.
g c
2024-08-08 00:54:08 +0000 UTCA count down is fancy to you ? Seems like you miss understand the meaning of a live drop but as far as experiencing it goes it's your experience so not gonna try and invalidate that just wonder if everyone feels or experienced the same as certain issues can change from person to person
Patrone07
2024-08-08 00:53:33 +0000 UTCThe process time takes 2 hours minimum anyway.
Yumaaa
2024-08-08 00:52:31 +0000 UTCI like them though I did not catch them live, but the comments section is atrocious. No notification when someone replies to your comment, and the likes/emojis reactions are a mess. My guess is that Patreon is toying with it for now, and that it might get more polished later on ? Hopefully so.
Rob
2024-08-08 00:50:37 +0000 UTCBecause it takes hours for patreon to process the video regardless of what method they use.
Yumaaa
2024-08-08 00:50:19 +0000 UTCI like it, because it gets more predictable when you upload. Nice solution.
Modeste
2024-08-08 00:49:21 +0000 UTCLive drop for single episode shows are okay but for one piece or naruto where a video could be 1-2 hours long im not a fan of especially due to timezones
b
2024-08-08 00:47:06 +0000 UTCI don't like Because only 2 episode is drop 😁 just kidding. All good for me haha
prince ramos
2024-08-08 00:44:26 +0000 UTCThere's no point other than looking fancy with a countdown. Other than that, the user experience is significantly worse, with many bugs, annoying small changes, and so on.
Rimuru Tempest
2024-08-08 00:43:42 +0000 UTCNot a fan, that timer gives me anxiety...it feels like waiting for a new season.
Sean
2024-08-08 00:42:33 +0000 UTCNot a fan of drops. Don’t show on notifications for some reason.
Dist
2024-08-08 00:41:27 +0000 UTCIt’s a not live stream lol. It’s still pre recorded, it’s just displayed to us in live format. So until it’s finished, we can’t fast forward. Similar to traditional cable TV.
londonrials
2024-08-08 00:38:39 +0000 UTCI dislike them only because they don't appear in notifications as new releases for me. Had to manually scroll through your feed to find Kaiju when you did the live drop release.
HollowedSlayer
2024-08-08 00:38:09 +0000 UTCI like them, but I wouldn't be mad if we didn't have them. Whatever works for ya'll tbh.
botanbutton
2024-08-08 00:37:42 +0000 UTCAs long as I get an authentic reaction from the two of u I’m here for it. Y’all drop however u want just don’t change the authenticity
RedEyeItachi
2024-08-08 00:37:36 +0000 UTCI think it's not really live. The video gets uploaded earlier, and gets released at X-time. It's the same with youtube premiere. It has a live chat for the viewers.
Jens Mertens
2024-08-08 00:37:17 +0000 UTCSimilar to how I feel about YouTube Premieres- for special episodes and highly anticipated releases, it would be perfect. But when people start using them 24/7 for each upload, then it becomes overused in my opinion. It loses it special touch yknow?!
londonrials
2024-08-08 00:36:53 +0000 UTCthe reactions are pre recorded so no need to worry about spoilers

Coconut Glutinous Rice
2024-08-08 00:22:28 +0000 UTCThese should not be done until Patreon irons out the kinks. They cause the browser to lag, the videos lag, it's not fun. But the concept is dope
Steve
2024-08-08 00:21:11 +0000 UTCI know it's been mentioned but yeah, for some odd reason after it's been posted its laggy and I have to pause quite a few times to let it catch up, if it wasn't for that I think I could get behind it.
Rinnegod
2024-08-08 00:16:50 +0000 UTCPros and Cons to it. I like that it has a set release time and a live feel to it. However it doesnt feel polished enough and always stays at the top of the reaction page for no reason. Honestly I would only use it for the big episodes for all the shows.
Jimmy
2024-08-08 00:14:57 +0000 UTCIf you pause to theorise like you always do and there is a chat live lol, you will get spoiled every time
To To
2024-08-08 00:14:33 +0000 UTCI like them if it isn't changing the time it would have dropped anyways
Sleeping
2024-08-08 00:13:38 +0000 UTCIf you already have the video, why not make it avaiable already? Will you make any extra money by releasing it later or just make us frustraded by seeing the video there but not being able to watch it until hours later? Also, here in Brazil I would be able to watch it now, but in an hour and a half I won't cause it will be to late at night
Pedro Farinazzo
2024-08-08 00:13:22 +0000 UTCI honestly love the idea to have every upload as a live drop since yall can just upload it in the morning and make it drop at noon or night, so it's easier to catch up with the timelines and useful to plan in advance
Heliceo
2024-08-08 00:13:22 +0000 UTCHave you thought that this is not arbitrary rather estimated time of arrival for the upload? moreover, you can plan in advance, rather than waiting all day for the upload
Heliceo
2024-08-08 00:12:02 +0000 UTCI thought about this for certain episodes, maybe not every single one. Are you saying pre recorded as in your reaction is already done and you're watching it with us? If so, i'm here or there. But there is also the issue of chances of people spoiling.
Kokoro Itami
2024-08-08 00:11:50 +0000 UTCglitchy and laggy, also cant fast forward
Ethan Flowers
2024-08-08 00:11:18 +0000 UTCtbh i highly dislike them since id rather an immediate or sudden drop than having to wait for some arbitrary reason. i think someone else also mentioned this, but live drops tend to be laggy and glitchy, and it only cements my dislike for them. i usually just skip out on them entirely and wait for the video to fully drop
inno#2732
2024-08-08 00:10:17 +0000 UTCI’m not sure if it’s just me but I can’t get mine to work on the phone
Devin Trittin
2024-08-08 00:09:46 +0000 UTCI love them! Im always busy so it gives me just enough time to get stuff out the way to watch. Saves me from always forgetting and having to catch up
The CulturedGentleman
2024-08-08 00:08:18 +0000 UTCI like the idea but for me it lags too much and I end up having to pause the video every few minutes. Also it would be easier to have mods active at the same time it premieres, to avoid people commenting spoilers.
Luna
2024-08-08 00:08:11 +0000 UTCLive drops aren’t worth waiting 2 hours for in my opinion…
Pod
2024-08-08 00:06:10 +0000 UTCExactly, i saw some people spoil last time aswell
Bst22
2024-08-08 00:01:45 +0000 UTCI like live drops
Zenitsu
2024-08-08 00:01:31 +0000 UTCI don't see the point tbh it's not like new people will join because of it like the YouTube one
Ace
2024-08-08 00:01:03 +0000 UTCI think they're great :D
Yumaaa
2024-08-08 00:01:01 +0000 UTCSame here, It buffers a lot, and freezes my browser when I try to pause.
Shadowstep2010
2024-08-08 00:00:29 +0000 UTCIt's great for letting people know when it's going to drop, the only issue for me personally is the video don't run properly, which is most likely a patreon issue.
Shadowstep2010
2024-08-08 00:00:02 +0000 UTCI feel like it’s more easier to access comments without Live Drop but since the majority prefer Live Drops then I don’t mind either
Karaka
2024-08-07 23:59:55 +0000 UTCIt's new and shiny, but I can see it getting old after while. Already not a fan of getting an additional notification for one drop.
Feignorance
2024-08-07 23:59:50 +0000 UTCGood

Owethu Dlamini
2024-08-07 23:58:29 +0000 UTCNeither here nor there. My major issue is that I'm 100% positive you will have people who spoil right away and there is no way to filter out those people in real time
Jonny
2024-08-07 23:58:25 +0000 UTCI thought the same, just wasn’t sure if it was just me
Jordan Crawford
2024-08-07 23:58:09 +0000 UTCI voted for liking them - but I'm mostly indifferent. I like that it gives me a time during the day so I can prepare for it, but it wouldn't matter much to me whether we had them or not.
Tomás
2024-08-07 23:57:55 +0000 UTCI don't like it because it keeps freezing when I try to watch it (I don't know why) :)
Maruey Coelho Paranhos
2024-08-07 23:57:48 +0000 UTCIts great especially for long running shows like naruto and one piece
Nolan Young
2024-08-07 23:56:27 +0000 UTCWatching 2 posts back now, hoping for a triple in the next couple weeks. Guess I'm watching 3 hours of Naruto tonight
VOCFM
2024-08-07 23:56:23 +0000 UTCI'm indifferent about it. Either way it gets uploaded and I get my fix of anime.
LuvStarburst
2024-08-07 23:56:09 +0000 UTCI like being able to to interacts with the community on live chats
AceReaper02
2024-08-07 23:55:51 +0000 UTCHonestly not huge into live stuff and streaming personally. Would rather just see the video when it drops. Here for it regardless tho (:
Tacosareneat
2024-08-07 23:55:48 +0000 UTCThey’re a good idea, I wonder if there’s an option to disable comments until the post goes live

victoria t
2024-08-07 23:55:43 +0000 UTCI think it's great to at least know when it's about to drop personally. Work keeps me from being able to watch it but at least I know roughly the time it will be available.
