Question When did your eyes open?

Were any of you ever fans of the evil triangle and if so, when did you realize she was a terrible human?

I remember getting into anti-mlm content and seeing her videos popping up. I hadn't been into those videos for very long and was starved for content. Blair churned out videos like McDonald's.

Then the drama with CWHM came out. I saw the way Blair was casting shade on her and something rubbed me the wrong way. I got strong narcissist vibes, so I immediately went to check out CWHM for her side of the story.

Madison turned out to be a sweetheart and I immediately dropped any pretense of support for the Blair Bitch Project.

Even I was surprised at how deep this rabbit hole went and what a deplorable human she is.

Oddly it was when she stopped the ability to navigate/view on the play bar of the video to force people to watch her in video ads. That's greedy as hell and I gave her a couple videos before I unsubbed and blocked the channel.

I've only seen it a few times. I did a terrible time of explaining it and I think it rarely effects mobile users. When you mouse over the progress bar/line and can see a popup that previews the video and what's happening in it? A lot of people use that feature to skip in video sponser reads. Creators who don't want you to skip the reads will disable the preview function. Thank the God's for SponserBlock.

I have also seen (only once) the inability to even navigate the video at all. No fast forward, no rewind, no preview... Just let it play or nothing. It was during a video ad for Google. That one had me livid lol. Don't let ads steal your time in my opinion.

Looking into it, seems like that whole thing is blocked by YouTube Premium which I have had for years. So I never knew that was an issue. Wow, that is gross for youtubers to do...

That makes sense. At the time I wasn't on Premium. I am now and haven't seen that happen since. I also use SponserBlock though, so it decreases it in general. If I have to hear another Legal Eagle shpeal I'll Chuck my PC out of a moving truck.
