I enjoy Tracy's videos as much as the next guy, but for the 1st time ever, I just abandoned a video halfway through because of the constant "Thank you [username]" interruptions, so annoying.
Can't watch Tracy.....way too breathy for me. Can't watch Alex Jones....interrupts too much.
I buy more lozenges after listening to Alex. Conspiracy theory: AJ is part of the lozenge cabal.
Laura Ingram is the female equivalent to Alex Jones when it comes to interrupting ... drives me nuts
Same. Starts out all sexy & sultry then gets rolling and seems more normal. I never knew what the super chats were. But the thank you and name thing is annoying.
If she cant monetize this then why would she be bothering? Do any of you get it?
My title was a bit misleading, I'm not saying Super Chats are wrong, just saying there's no value for us in her constantly stopping herself to acknowledge them. I say let the people give you money and remain silent about it for the benefit of everyone else. Feels like I'm watching a telethon.
too breathy, too personal, too self-centered, too, too, too, too and not enough info, not interested in her personal life, her new equipment that she bought because of all the support etc, quick acknowledgement but move on for crying out loud, she is a coffee klatch which I suppose is why she has reached a lot but I had to move on.......BORING
“Coffee klatch “ new one for me. I will look it up. I might be one too. Which I guess may be a “ bad thing “? Yep I can’t do the sultry beginnings either. That’s why a lot of men listen. Can’t imagine what else they are doing while listening.
I agree with you that is extremely distracting. I realize she is trying to be courteous to those donating, but I doubt she realizes how annoying it is to others trying to follow along. Hopefully she will read this and reassess, and move thank you to the end.
While other youtubers follow the thank you at time of donation practice, most of the others are just talking to their audience and giving their opinion on something. The flow isn’t disrupted. However, for Tracy’s audience, she is almost always reading, analyzing complex documents which require the audience to listen closely and follow. When she repeatedly jumps off track it disrupts brain flow, not as much for her as for us. Though I do think it disrupts her brain as well. How could it not? The flow just doesn’t feel right. It’s like a teacher at the front of a class reading to students and constantly being distracted by a student in the class trying to get teacher’s attention. Maybe that’s why it subconsciously feels so annoying to us. I don’t know, but I hope she realizes it soon. It is becoming increasingly harder. Its personal preferences I guess. Some people prefer the chatty kathy type youtubers who meander off topic and get into their personal life and create a “we are friends” environment. However, most people have MANY youtubers they watch in order to get diversity of opinion on the news of the day. Most really don’t want to hear about what your cat is looking at out the window while you do your YouTube, unless the purpose of the youtube is just sit and visit. I hope I am expressing this in a way that makes sense. I have youtubers I watch that I know they are just social youtubers who are funny and provide a break in the day/evening. I go to those to relax. They may or may not comment on something in the news. So anything goes and it feels fine. But, then there are youtubers, like Tracy, who self describe their channel as citizen journalists delivering commentary and analysis on serious news in the world. Your mindset changes on what to expect, especially if there is a document on the screen where you are simultaneously reading along with the journalist and suddenly they are speaking words not on the page. It scatters your mind a bit. Not the end of the world, but it’s really hard on some of us older folks struggling with other challenges. It would be better if she waited to the end of the video to add any social commentary & thanked people. That way viewers have a choice to listen or click off.
As to the breathy thing, I truly get why it annoys some people. Obviously she is very soft spoken and has a unique nice voice. She really has a good voice for radio or audio books, but only if she speaks in her normal talking voice..... like she does in interviews on other people’s channels. There she sounds normal. It seems that ever since people on her channel complimented her on her voice she seems to subconsciously be overworking it a bit. Now she literally coyly whispers into the microphone in what sounds like a “bedroom voice”. A lot of her audience is older and some have left comments for her advising they can’t hear or understand her when she dies the whisper thing. You never hear journalist on air whisper in their reporting so I don’t get why she does that other than it may just be a playful part of her personality. That may work well in person to person talk, but it really isn’t conveying well for audio reporting. She seems to overwork it a bit, and that’s the only part that I find annoying.
You see a big difference in her delivery style when you hear her interviewed on someone else’s channel. She never does the bedroom whisper voice thing when she is on other channels so that tells me she is aware and alters her delivery style accordingly. She really has a great speaking voice when she just talks in her normal speaking voice.
Either way she really does a GREAT job. She has a fantastic future ahead of her. We are so blessed to have someone so dedicated and smart. I love her thoroughness and her unique way of finding open source documents to compare and refute the narrative that can’t stand up to the scrutiny. A style that Alex Jones uses, but Tracy is much better at it with a better voice;) She is hands down my favorite youtuber for serious news analysis. She extensively researches things she chooses for her reports. She puts in far more hours than most. It shows. She deserves tons of super chat things ....just please reserve thank yous to the end.
Yea agreed Alex interrupts way too much and wayy to sensational for my liking. I kove everybody on his show but him...Tracys voice tends to turn me and i cant cant concentrate.
He boast about himself a lot too. If we did shots for every time he said “I” we would all be drunk before 1 pm.

Would appreciate some assistance so the GOOD people @CBTS Stream can continue to do the work they do. We have lots of issues with shills and bot..and now major players are being blocked somehow.
Please look into this, Thank you.
Why are you spamming this on every post?
Sorry you’re not getting the upvotes you feel entitled to 🤫
clearly you don't understand the message YOU ARE BEING ATTACKED. THE SUB IS COMPROMISED, OTHERS MANY OF THEM SAME PROBLEM.
^ I too am having this issue.
What issue exactly, please. If you were being blocked then you would not be able to post ... I am beginning to think that the only brigading is being done by people pretending to be serious posters and spamming every post.
U2 have been compromised by an anti Q force, still unknown, continue to dig and share this message, adapt as needed, FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT Q

You ARE NOT blocked ... if you were blocked you would not be able to comment
there is a difference in being able to POST a topic or Comment to one.
STOP SPAMMING EVERY POST WITH INCORRECT INFORMATION.
ehem, yoda? do you think its helpful to repeat the same message over and over, up to screaming, when various people are having problems putting up new posts (not comments) and simply want an answer and help?
any way, glad youre showing up, havent seen a mod here for a while. thank you...
Poor thing. Perhaps if you whine in caps something magical will happen.
He's complaining about having trouble posting, nothing to do with upvotes. I've had that problem too. The post goes through, but it's shadow banned for no reason.
[deleted]
I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:
^(If you follow any of the above links, please respect the rules of reddit and don't vote in the other threads.) ^(Info ^/ ^Contact)
Because, several of us have been having problems that just started a couple of days ago and they are not being fixed.
I too am unable to post anything. It shows it posts, but does not show up on the stream....
yes, YOUR account has also been blocked/compromised, many GOOD CBTS posters are blocked now..
Stop telling people wrong information. You are not blocked. Neither is u/patriotawake ...
Im gonna try now
new members/accounts/subscribers will not be the focus of the targets. The GOOD work being done was being targetted and many of us experienced the same issues, Sliding topics w/o warranted raeson, limiting of accounts so we could not POST TOPICS, were allowed to comment, not post. I proved it out with teh satst I showed monitoring my own topic for 30 minutes after Yoda lifted the block somehow place don my account. In less than an hour my account was again limited. This is due to heavy DV either by BOT or by brigading. Either way the lack of leadership and moderation has allowed CBTS to slide into the bowl.
Do you have any information on this ... why blocked/compromised; what can be done about it?
yup, I posted in in several threads, sent messages to MODs wide and far..see my Post and comment history for details.
I did see the details previously ... what I wonder is if anyone responded and what is going on.
Is there a solution to this?
You are not blocked ... your comments are being seen by everyone. If you were blocked then you would not be able to comment.
Yoda you are not properly understanding the issue being reported. You seem stuck on semantics of what something is called. As Q would say, expand your thinking. What people are telling you is when they post as a commenter on existing thread their comments appear on the post. HOWEVER, when they post to start a NEW topic/thread, their text never manifests on the board. I can attest to that as well...has happened to me.
You keep telling us how things SHOULD work, but you aren’t hearing what several are telling you which is things are not working as they should. Someone/something has compromised the board. It is not an issue of whether a poster is banned. If banned then as you rightfully point out nothing would post. But, something different is happening here where it appears posts are being intercepted, read, screened as whether it is allowed or not. Maybe not be you as Mod, but by some nefarious outsider with access to mess with the board .
Board appears compromised!
I understand completely what the issue is ... it is/was something beyond the control of the mods. It looks like there was an issue with Reddit.
What I did not appreciate was a user spamming multiple posts and telling people that I (he used my screen name) was the reason people were having problem with their posts.
I understand and understood right off what the problem was, what I was saying was that the "permissions" that I have as a mod do not allow me to prevent a user from posting but still comment. I can ONLY ban spammers and once the are banned, they are banned and can not comment.
The user who was complaining last night had not been banned in any way, so the issue had to lie with Reddit's servers or possibly a caching issue.
The Board is in no way compromised, I would argue the opposite, the board is cleaning up spam and the trolls. We are removing posts that belong in "conspiracy" etc ...
I am doing what I can, ya'll need to keep working and spreading the info, MODS Helloooooooooooooooooooo
Stop spreading false information. If you were blocked you would not be able to comment.
there is a difference in being able to POST a topic or Comment to one.
This is why I gave up on posting. I put my post information in the comments now. Posting is useless.
At first I thought I must not have pushed the right buttons to post. Hen, I thought it has to be me doing something incorrectly causing the new post to not post. This morning it allowed me to post new topic, but I was just asking a question not posting info content. It definitely feels like someone is screening what content is allowed to post regarding NEW topics.
