I know this will ruffle some feathers but,,,,

I've reached my limit of frustration with "Time for another AWESOME video". My security system blocks anything related to Google including Youtube so whenever I click on what appears to be some interesting reading I'm greeted with yet another blank window. Sorry if it annoys some folks but I'm not into a video blog, I don't believe that's what a forum should be about. By the way, I won't be monitoring responses so flame away if you are so inclined..

I'm as guilty as any one of posting YouTube videos. But sometimes video is a more effective message than a multiline post.

I would probably put some kind of a google blocker on as well if I could, but with good information now drowning in AI on internet search, youtube seems to be something of a refuge for some valid info.

Since we added the Social Influencers section the amount of time people spend on the site has increased. And as you can see by the views, people are watching them... thats good for us

I understand they are not for everyone and thats why we have given our users tools to remove things they don't want to see, including those forums.

But since RadioGuy says he's not reading replies, then I guess he will never know this.

The worst one is Ham Radio 2.0. He'll post something that sounds like it might be interesting. But when you click on the video link it says its available in three hours or something like that. I'm sure as heck not going to wait around for three hours. And when the video is available I've forgotten about it and moved on to something else.

And while we're on the subject. There is a button to ignore the Social Influencers. But it doesn't work. Or if it does it only works for a while and then they come back.

I only see them in the latest posts and never click them.

I have that section of the forum locked out so they never show up.
Not that hard to block it so you don't see those in the list
