I've got a long winded rant with a question at the end of it for paying PP subscribers.

So I, like a lot of you, am tired of having to jump all over the place to watch catches. Locals was advertised as the place to get ALL of the catches early and uncensored. Now it feels like 1 out of every 4 catches might be on locals. First problem is notifications. You either get 10 or none. Now let's move on to kick. Every single catch i've watched on there has had audio and lagging issues and I don't think i'm being hyperbolic. I don't really get into the mud with you degenerates ;) in the chats, so I don't know if it's good, bad, or neutral. I'm sure there are other problems with kick, but lastly it's just not what I am paying for.

Now let's go to fb. The first thing is that, unlike kick, if you don't have an account, you're not watching. So, not only, do we not get to watch it on the platform were paying for, but now you're forced to get a fb account. Could you imagine paying for cable and them saying " Oh yeah, we're gonna play the shows you like and are paying us for....only on netflix sometimes (not an exact comparison, but same idea) Yes, facebook is "free", but you're paying the price with your data, privacy, and personal info. On top of that, you cannot play facebook in the background. I'm sure many of you are like me and sometimes only listen to the catch while you're working or doing something else on your phone. But now, If you wanted to watch the catch you'd have to keep your phone out with fb open, for up to 3 hours at a time. Not to mention, if you move your phone and it switches orientation... It takes you back to the beginning of the catch. It is about the worst way to watch a video I can think of.

Alex will tell you he doesn't like facebook either... But because he wants and cares about new subscribers more than the functionality/experience of his paying members, we just have to deal with it.
Let's say, you don't want to go to kick or facebook and instead you were going to wait for the catches to eventually make it's way onto locals. More often than not the outcomes of the catches are talked about in in new post long before the videos make it there. For example, there will be tons of post talking about how bad the police were in that live catch bc they didn't do xyz. Now you know the outcome. Or instead of getting to watch alex slam some degenerate pedo during a catch, it's already been posted a bunch of times.

If this was a nonprofit and alex was just out there, fighting the good fight... Then, we should all just shut the hell up and get over it. But at the end of the day, this is entertainment and alex is getting rich off of it (i couldn't be happier about that fact!) I understood a business needs to keep getting new subscribers. But that's his burden to figure out. It's not on the current members to just suck it up because "hey alex isn't making a million a month yet, gotta do what we gotta do!" He needs to figure out other ways. I've seen many people make great suggestions but it seems to me, the sentiment is that we should just shut up and be grateful.

At the end of the day, we could say this is about more subscribers. But in reality that just means more money. I personally would pay a little over twice what I was paying ($7 to now $15) if alex would just do the lives and everything right on locals. My question is, how many of you would be ok with something like that? For me it has nothing to do with money. Id gladly pay $15/ month to not have to jump through all the hoops. But that would mean all of the catches are on locals...100%. Getting new subscribers would be on him to do in any way he wants, that isn't talking away catches from locals. At the end of the day, alex is not only my favorite but the best catcher by far. I have nothing but good will for him and i want him to be successful! But I refuse to be a sycophant, who just praises him nonstop. Even though he's probably killing it right now financially, how he's treating his members will not lead to long term success.
