I know I’m preaching to the choir over here, but please be kind to each other. I’ve had to block several people this week because of their behavior in the comments on Patreon. I’ve worked so hard over the last three years to build this community, and I want this to be a safe space for all of us to share our love for movies and shows together. 

Disagreements over movies are of course okay and bound to happen. Polls are a great way to see what the majority of people want me to watch, and it’s the clearest way to decide what to watch next based on your input. I have this community here to guide me, and I really am so grateful you’re here. You may not like everything that I watch (and that’s okay, I don’t like everything I watch!), but I try to mix up genres so that hopefully there’s something for everyone.

When the argument reaches to the point where insults and slurs are thrown out, that is clearly unacceptable. I know I’m preaching to the choir here because I’ve already blocked the people who have created issues this week. If you’re still here, know that I am grateful for you, and I’m so glad you’re here. I honestly should’ve blocked some of these people a while ago, and I want to move forward to continue creating a fun, welcoming environment over here.

I hate that an announcement like this even has to be made, but that’s the internet for ya. Thank you all for being here, and I can’t wait to see what we watch next together!

Love and respect to all my brothers and sisters out there. ❤️

The Dude Abides

Wow, I’m glad I missed seeing all of that. You’re totally in the right for doing that, Addie. Arguing over movies to that point is ridiculous.

Victor

The fact people get that worked up over another persons movie choices is wild to me. Thanks for entertaining us Addie, take breaks when you need to, and enjoy what you want as well!

Alexander George

Well said, Addie! People have a tendency to take things too serious. Watching /reacting to movies should be a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Love the channel. Keep going with the movie reactions and you will definitely enjoy the James Bond experience. Cant comment on "Game of Thrones" b/c I never saw the episodes on HBO or whatever streaming devices are used. Anyway, have fun with the whole TV series / movie experience.

Scot J

Well said.

Grinznmore

Well said. People are under enough stress these days. Thank you for giving us a place to exhale.

Rich

It really sucks this post was necessary.

Gary Brown

Addie, i hope my comment about not being able to stream the james bond movies wasn't taken as hostile . i'm always civil and if i inadvertantily did something to upset you, i'm truly sorry. i always assume the worst and i always take the movies as they come because i can see them on YT. if u could, please respond to this because i get so worried.

Addie Counts

Don't worry, this post wasn't about you at all!

Baldemort

Thanks addie, I have seen many times other patrons attack others just for liking a film they are happy to see in a poll just for it to be met with hostility. Ill be more mindful. I just dont like seeing other people get attacked or insulted for next to nothing. These are just movies and not too serious. we are all here to have a good time and there is no rules saying we have to watch everything a reactor puts out.

PHILLIP CORNISH

Yes at times i get no content for me but understand and respect that we all have different tastes you can only try. I did not realise that on and off ive supported you for around two and half years so keep up the good work. 😀😘

Kevin B.

I honestly dont comment that much but i read most of them,I have to say this at least yes I seen you get upset but most of the time you come to defense of people which i repect personally just wanted to let you know i respect that in you.

Gary Brown

Thank u so much. I love u and id id hate to think i hurt u in any possible way. U and my other patreon reactors have helped me keep my sanity- ashleigh, Natalie, Cassie, Vicky and Simone and George. I was mentally and verbally abused for being trans and so I probably found u in summer 2021. I know that yall have to find substitute words for cuss words so I think mother trucker is creative. Lol. Thanks for answering so fast . My stomach was in knots and I was tearing up because I was so upset u might be mad at me. Just to give you an idea of my personality, im introvert on the spectrum and anxiety and always looking for the other shoe to drop. Sorry for the length, but this is is the first time we've talked and wanna thank u so much for all ur hard work and being who u are. Give my love to Ollie. Lol. Keep on keeping on.🙂

Davis H

Absolutely! Lets be people of democracy lol. Ive had movies I love lose in polls just like everyone else has and THATS OK!!! democracy rules!

Baldemort

Thanks. I mean yeah that what im mostly apologizing for. I can defend people without getting immature about it.

Doug

FYI There was someone posting earlier literally calling people slurs for how they voted on a poll. I’m pretty sure she’s talking about that sort of thing.

Gary Brown

Thanks. I always panic about that sort of thing.

Doug

On a tangent I like coming here to talk about films and TV shows in general with people who also like the medium. It’s a “film of the week” club for me so to speak. 🙂 So I appreciate the hard work Addie’s putting in to keeping it going and that’s why I’m happy to chip in here to help support it. Plus, you never know when we’ll get a good snake jump scare, am I right? 😄

I had to dig deep to find a bookmarked page written by retired film critic for the San Francisco Chronicle, Mick LaSalle, back in 2009. A reader of his film review column asked why some people react with hostility to some of Mick's film reviews. I think Mick's response has some relevance to what occurred on Addie's comment section. "Dear Mick LaSalle: We don't understand why you (and other critics) engender such hostility among certain readers when you express a thought, fact or opinion that differs from theirs. If we disagree with some aspect of a review, we don't get angry, so we don't get why people seem to take it as a personal affront. - asked by Timothy Cavanaugh and Eric Vidal "Dear Timothy Cavanaugh and Eric Vidal: People have always defined themselves according to preferences: Beatles or Stones, Democrat or Republican, Fitzgerald or Hemingway. And then, having defined themselves, they tend to divide and discard. Instead of having to care about all humanity, you care about your race, or your people, or your city or your family - it varies according to circumstances. On Mars, you might feel solidarity with any earthling. But in San Francisco, you might feel more kinship with people in your district and, if you're a little unbalanced, really believe that you're better than people who live in other districts. Those are the two impulses at work - to self-define and to discard. Now how this functions in terms of hate mail is that there are people who have made their preferences the essential component of their self-definition. So if you tell them that what they like is lousy - or you tell them that what they believe to be lousy is good - they take this as a direct threat to their selfhood and reality. Moreover, they immediately extrapolate from your opinion to imagine a world in which everyone feels like you, and in which they are all alone. Sometimes, they even imagine a world in which everyone disagrees with them about everything, which is why I often get mail that says something like, "And I bet you love George Bush, too!" You become, in that moment, a metaphor for the imaginary forces arrayed against them, and so they lash out as if they've been personally attacked. That's the long answer. The short answer is that people are nuts." https://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/ask-mick-lasalle-3206504.php

thanks Addie xxx ooo

phillip giroux

Let the love flow my fellow humans... and animal friends... and the plants are cool too even if they never answer my questions.

Billy Dancel

The best thing about a post like this is to remind people that YOU ARE IN CHARGE

drew

don't let that get to you sweetheart i love your reaction to movies and tv shows.even if there is some i like that you may not like for the most part but who cares. right i mean you should see the constant war between hard core marvel fans and dc fans you know its the same thing just like with democrats and republicans liberals or conservatives and i think uh star wars fans and star trek fans too i dont know about that one .but i think these fights are ridicalous we need more common sense brought back sending my love to you and ollie and jeremy

David

Guys it was me. I told Addie if she didn’t watch Ted Lasso I would be mildly disappointed. I should’ve known better than to use such strong language. I’m the reason we can’t have nice things!

Fernando

Thank you for the update, Addie. Your content is one of, if not, the best. Your recent actions ensures that it stays that way. Keep doing what you're doing, girl. Take care.

Randolph Tirazona

Interesting thing is a lot of people have touched on and for the life of me I don't ever remember saying anything like this 'to Addie!' Basically it's a 'critique' on the reaction(s), then on things I think can improve, but I always note: "Try not to take negativity too hard; this is 'the internet' and there be trolls out here! This is your channel and do it the way you want to!" I almost always try to leave them in a positive 'powerful light' so as to help boost confidence, etc. I mean lets face it editing IS a long, hard and an arduous task in itself. Least we get into the reaction and everything else! But here I know without a doubt Jeremy and Ollie help! And I love you all @TeamAddie!!! Especially Ollie!!! But yes there are 'rules' and we all should try to take a breath and calm down but also there are times people can get carried away.

Harry S

Someone has to be the adult in the room. Sorry it has to be you.

DarthChef

Thanks for the update. I had to stop following another channel on Patreon because of all the negative back and forth between people. And the creator didnt do much to stop it, other than the occasional "hey guys, let's all be respectful to one another" post that became to frequent. I respect that that you respect us and are willing to ban people, knowing that it literally takes money out of your pocket. Keep up the great content!

Aaron

Doing what we must is never the easiest thing. If it was everyone would do it. Thank you for protecting us Addie! If you choose to be I think you would make a great people mom someday.

Todd Joseph

Big fan of this community. Zero bad interactions ever. Going forward, let’s embrace the philosophy of the greatest band ever (Dragon Sound): “Friends through eternity, loyalty, honesty We'll stay together through thick or thin Friends forever, we'll be together We're on top 'cause we play to win”

Joe Blankenship

I just watched that with Diegesis the other day.

As someone who moderates comments on my own website and is an admin on Facebook groups, I feel this post and know how hard it was to write. It's challenging to block people who clearly deserve it, particularly if you tend to look for the good in people. But know it's for the best for the rest of your fans that you remove the bad apples. And know that you're giving way more thought about blocking them than they care about you or anyone else who's here.

Kyle

I have to give Patreon props for its block user feature. Most places seem to just show the blocked user in question with a little disclaimer that "you have blocked posts from this user" and you still see replies from others to that person. Patreon on the other hand seems to just completely erase those people's posts and replies to their comments from my feed at all. I nearly responded to a recent comment on the channel with some insults in response to the person in question's rant, but thought better of it. For anyone reading this, I highly recommend just using the block feature instead of getting into fights with strangers online and giving content creators massive headaches from having to deal with it.

Thomas Yanez

I agree with your sentiment 100%, just commenting that I can never hear that particular phrase without triggering a special ear worm that has the lyric, "We do what we must because we can..."

Thomas Yanez

You should get together with CineBinge and compare notes. I'm kind of curious if there's any overlap on the jerks y'all have to contend with.

I am glad there is a community here where we can share the positivity even in times like this. I just joined and this community seems really great and overall very positive. I am excited to see what new reactions you bring! Keep it up with the great content!
