    I'm still upset the Republicans were able to stop Obama from electing a Supreme Court justice... And then went right ahead and did the exact opposite thing in 2020. The audacity to do this and somehow not face any consequences...

  • @GilbertTang
    @GilbertTang 6 дней назад +16

    It’s amazing what you folks are doing, and I really appreciate it. Small request, if I may. Please stop ordering the playlists backwards. I imagine you’re checking the add to playlist box as you’re uploading content sequentially, starting with episode one. This results in playlists that begin with the last episode of the season and end with the first. Then, inexplicably, they’re left there to fester in that condition, making me wonder whether you folks are trolling us. You can keep the same process but just upload them in reverse order. Or, manually rearrange the playlist after uploading. RUclips, especially on mobile devices, has very poor controls for building and managing playlists on the user end, and it’s even worse if we’re not the creator of the playlist. They’re too busy shoving endless Shorts in our faces. For seasons 1-3 I just made my own playlists in the correct order, but it’s quite tedious. I have to find each episode, tap the three dot thing, tap add to playlist, then tap the correct playlist (which I’ve screwed up several times because reasons). And since seasons are pretty long, it means I have to do this like 100 times. Except, it ends up being more than that because I lose track of which episode I just added. It’s devastating. Please, for the love of whatever it is people still have left to love, rearrange the existing ones and upload new ones in the correct order. If you do this, I swear I’ll vote for whatever bird or buy whatever ass cake you tell us to. Thank you.

    The way these clips are ordered gives me a slight headache (likely from having uploaded them separately and then published all at once).
    They should be published one after the other, even if it's just a few seconds between making each video public
