I honestly prefer the previous format with the posts on screen, and saving subway surfers and other games for the shorts. I appreciate the experimentation though
Please keep the gameplay out, the appeal of the channel was that is was comfortable and great background audio. When I'm trying to work I don't want something else visually fighting for my attention, especially because my ADHD actively encourages distractions. This and PM Seymour are the last bastions of low-stimuli comfort content
Please don’t turn into the other crappy Reddit channels. Emkay stood out because it actually had effort put into it, instead of relying on Minecraft or subway surfers to keep people interested. I get people have terrible attention spans now, but there’s gotta be a better way.
no. no subway surfers. get rid of it. keep it on the shorts. not the full videos. edit: just noticed the 3 word limit on the screen. change it back, listen to the fans.
Look, it’s one thing if you wanna play Subway Surfers in the background. Whatever. But I prefer when you leave the text posts up instead of just showing a few words of what you’re reading. This just adds another layer of distraction that I’m uncomfortable with
I like listening to your ask Reddit videos in the background while I’m drawing or doing chores, but the subway surfer background video makes it really hard to stop looking at the screen, and so I can’t multitask 😭 I prefer the videos with just the text on the screen
For the Mathematician at the bar asking if they all want beer joke, to be a buzzkill and explain the joke: Since the bartender asked if they all wanted a beer, they understood it as if are going through mathematical proofs, and so the statement would be false if even one of them didn't want a beer. So the first two saying I don't know is a sign that they wanted beers (as they would have responded no if that wasn't the case), but didn't know if that was true for all of them. So only the third mathematician, knowing the other two wanted a beer by their answers, could confirm the statement was true.
When you said "demon core," I momentarily forgot that reference and thought it was a demonic aesthetic similar to other aesthetic "core" terms like "cottagecore." Then I remembered the reference and felt dumb.
My dudes, I'm too adhd to have the subway surfer bs in the background of these videos and actually enjoy them- it's so visually distracting that I have no idea what anyone is saying. The subtitle change makes it impossible for me to follow along too, because I need to read ahead slightly to give myself time to process the audio. This is completely inaccessible for me and I know I'm not gonna be the only one, please don't keep this editing style.
I regularly experience déjà rêvé - like déjà vu, but you can remember dreaming about the occasion. It almost always happens within a day of some stressful event.
I like the background video games* but would rather still see the entire post at once, even if the lack of transparency means much of the background is covered. I don't like the constantly changing large text. *Maybe not Subway Surfers though. I'm not sure what other games are played - would like to know, especially the ones involving driving - but they have massive 3D worlds that are more fun to watch. Subway Surfers has overly repetitive gameplay. I've stopped playing it a long time ago for this reason. 😛
They have listened to complaints before, over on the main channel when they got rid of the fan art and the intro people were rightfully very upset. After a few videos they brought the fan art back. Still miss the intro, though. Edit: Fixed grammar mistakes, I rushed this comment lol.
When I left college, I did a few weddings but I never really had any bad clients. With that said it was always the poorest that paid the best and on time. The richest would try to get discounts and chasing them for payment was a nightmare.
Steak = Meat Grapes = Balls Just in case you were still wondering. ;) Also, as you could possibly tell, none of us seem to be fans of this new format. Even if you insist on having the game footage in the background, I'd still at least prefer being able to see the posts instead of having the subtitles onscreen. :/
@@JeremyPorcelain the hell do you mean rude, who do you think that background footage is for. If you can't pay attention without shiny colors blasting in your face that's a you problem
@@barberickarc3460 one of the mill, normal people like the shit too. It’s just normal human behaviour, VSauce talks about it really well when he gets interviewed with Anthony Padilla. It’s normal people things to like having multiple things to do at a time. Also, stereotyping.
Subway surfers was awful. Used to be able to actually watch your videos. The subway surfers was way too distracting. I like following along when you read the stories
Please get rid of the gameplay it is so unnecessary. People aren’t going to watch an over half hour video with Subway Surfers if their attention span is that little.
I literally can't watch this video. A big part of these is reading along with the posts. 15 seconds in, not even gonna try to watch the rest. I understand trying new things but this new thing will definitely be a net loss for you guys I think.
The new subway surfers gameplay and the text on screen is super distracting and just makes the video less appealing, the lack of subway surfers content and generic on screen text is what helped make the channel unique unlike other reddit reading channels. I really hope this new style isnt here to stay.
Gotta agree with a lot of other people below, please, this format just looks awful. It's too much. Please go back and stick to the previous format. I don't care what you do with shorts, but please, not this for full videos. It's terrible.
The vikings wanted to trick their foes so the made the less inviting, icy place sound more inviting with the name, and vice versa for Iceland, the made their home the more welcoming place to sound harsher and less inviting, so they were less likely to get ambushed.
This is so hard to watch and follow because of the subway surfers. As someone with dyslexia and adhd, the normal video style is so much easier for me to read and follow. There are fewer distractions and it follows along really well. Please change it back.
I don't work for them, but I know several people who are very wealthy. In my experience the Insanely wealthy (hundreds of millions to billions), are fairly normal people. Most of them earned their money (not trust fund kids, etc). They know how to work, they know the value of money, and they are very aware of how they are perceived. They don't like a lot of attention for the most part, and don't like to stand out. The guy I know, you likely have never heard of. His company deals business with other major corporations, so outside of those industries, you likely wouldn't even know the company name, as it has no end-consumer business. As such, he hates being name-dropped, or identified. Very private. That seems to be a common trend. Most extremely wealthy people are not celebrities and renown tycoons. The most eccentric thing he does... he has his own pizza delivery guy on retainer, lol. Mostly pizza, the guy also picks up other food orders, or shipments to the post office or an Amazon locker, does the grocery shopping, etc. But the idea is he wants to minimize the number of random delivery people and service workers who come to his home. In a given day, he would have a couple of food deliveries, the postal service, UPS, FedEx, Amazon, etc. Each of those will have an assortment of drivers, and if they all came to his house, every one of them would be telling their friends who they delivered to. Once his name is tied to it, people might spit in the food out of envy, or steal his packages because they assume the package containing the $6 dog toy he ordered might be some jewel encrusted next-gen smartphone or some other such nonsense (the actual rich people don't buy shit like that). His money puts a target on him for petty things like that. People will literally steal rocks out of his yard as mementos, lol. Just a lot of stupid shit like that, so he has a non-descript, regular everyman kinda guy to interface with all the random people he might encounter. In his case, 90% of that is getting pizza delivered, lol. But he's a pretty normal dude, just thrown into abnormal circumstances. The ones who are pretty wealthy, but not astonishingly so (tens of millions)... they get fucking weird. The open door to the bathroom comment in the video sounds pretty legit. I've seen similar things, not that exactly, but it holds up. These are the people who believe their wealth puts them above everyone else, and will flaunt it. To them, the people who work for the family are seen more like pets. I know that sounds condescending, but a lot of these people only really acknowledge their financial peers as people. To ensure they are likewise treated as people, they have to flaunt their wealth. Everything is a power-play with them. They don't usually "brag" overtly, it's more in how they act. These are the rich people who give other rich people a bad name. But they are also very much a product of their environment. Many of them were either born into money, or came into it very suddenly (lottery winners, crypto-bros, one-off "lucky" business moves, mid-tier celebrities & sports stars, etc). They have just enough money to not need to worry about money, so they become consumed by status. They can be very insecure... like the economic version of imposter-syndrome. Money can't buy self-esteem, but it sure as hell can humble those around you, so that's what they do, especially to each other, so it's a constant arms-race of signaling their status. Should one of their peers one-up them, it makes them very insecure. They can over-compensate for that by surrounding themselves with people they deem "lesser". They usually have an entourage of people in roles they don't really need. They just keep those people around them, even move them into their homes so they can feel better about themselves.
Everything about this format is no. The game play in the background the obscuring the actual Reddit post with your own text so that the answer is lost. Dislike and unsubscribe
ugh, its so hard to read the posts with the subway surfers in the background. if yall keep going this i will dip, sorry. this is the reason why i dont watch the shorts. sometimes its hard enough to remember the prompt without asinine gameplay in the background, this is just bad. can't watch it, cant concentrate, terrible for focus.
I guess this is the right place to ask this since it is ask emkay but I was needing some advice as to how to know if a girl is subtly hinting that they like you ( they are very different to read). If someone reads this I would really like some advice
I also really prefer seeing the whole text on screen. This is i credibly distracting, emkay is so much better asi it is and I watch it for that reason too.
Seconding it on the subway surfer stuff, managed to get 3 mins in before the background started giving me a headache, could not focus on the text at all, literally unwatchable.
NOOOOOO NOT THE SUBWAY SURFERS.. PLEASE DONT TURN INTO A SLUDGE CONTENT CHANNEL

Can confirm, I listen to EmKay because you do not use TExt to speech. Employing real voice actors.
they did the SUBWAY SURFERS 💀
I’m deadass if this is how this channel is gonna go I’m done watching all of it. I thought y’all were good ones.
Oh, please don't use subway surfers or anything like that... I hate content that is plastered over subway surfers and makes reading along a lot harder

goodbye, brandon!!!
Oh GOD NO
No offense, but STOP WITH SUBWAY SURFERS!!!! Your channel was absolute perfect without it.
Agreed. Part of the appeal of this channel was that they don't do this stuff.
Yes please stop
It's not so bad.
Then again, it would've been better if they used footage from Ristar.
Thank you.

as you can tell we dont want the gameplay

PLEASE DON'T START PLAYING GAME FOOTAGE!!!
your channel was so perfect with just the static posts in the background!
I love your channel, and it has been overstated, but please stop with the subway surfers. Your channel used to be a breath of fresh air.
Please don’t continue the subway surfers format, it’s not great.
Please show the text post in the screen instead of those subtitles as it’s hard to tell the difference between the story and the narrator

NO!
Please keep the old format
NOT THE SUBWAY SURFER'S ☹
Thank god the people in the comments mostly agree that the subway surfers gameplay is a bad idea. Hope emkay listens
STOP the mobile game this is an insult to our attention spans
NOO GOD THE SUBWAY SURFERS BACKROUND EMKAY DONT GO INTO THAT PATH

God this new editing style is god awful. Im so glad i mostly listen to these videos and not watch them
Damn bro what happened to the subway surferless background and the blocks of text :(
NOO THE SUBWAY SURFERS DONT BECOME LIKE EVERY REDDIT CHANNEL
I guess not very many people like the subway surfers XD
I’d prefer that stays with shorts and tiktok, so no. I do not like it
No guys, just no.
Why the subway surfers😭Please go back to when you didn't have the subway surfers on the screen
Please no subway surfers
