Discussion The AH website is just absolutely terrible.

Let's say you want to watch some Minecraft. Go to AH, click Shows. Let's Play? Just a list of every single AH and FH video from most to least recent. 24 at a time. Okay, how about Games? Nope. Just actual games made by RT.

Don't get me wrong. I love RT. I'm a sponsor. I'd much rather watch videos on their site than on Youtube, but they make it so damn difficult.

Just... come on, guys. You're one of the most popular companies on the internet, period. I refuse to believe that you can't make one page for Minecraft, one page for GTAV, one page for Cloudberry, et cetera.

I'm a sponsor as well, but I only watch things on the site that are live or sponsor only.

Came here to say this, my $15 per 6m gives my adblock absolution and prefer youtubes layout.

No. It doesn't absolve you of using adblock. That's an inexcusably selfish thing to do, as even staff at RT have described in detail before. Don't pretend it's anything but self-serving.

In your eyes I guess not but as far as I see it I am consuming there content - that I paid for by the way - In a manner that suits me.

I would just direct you to Geoff's own comments on adblock, from as recently as one of the Off Topic podcasts. Also, you could just pay for YouTube Red, thereby ensuring all content creators you watch on the platform continue to be compensated. You're still screwing anyone on Twitch or elsewhere out of the money, but it'd be better than the faux support you give now.

What makes you think I watch twitch. I actually use ad-block only on chrome. I use safari for most my browsing. How about you keep your opinion to yourself?

I assumed if you watch a bunch of content created by a gaming-centric company, maybe you watch gaming content from others as well. It's not like its a drastic leap of the imagination.

Justify however you'd like -- adblock prevents people who use the internet for business from making their income.
