Honest opinion of the recent return

Is it though?

I appreciate what people are saying here in regards to responsible gambling and as a family lad myself I get it.

But there’s two things I’d say here on this.

1 – The ‘honest’ feedback in this thread is tainted by the environment.  Moderation here is heavy and community peer pressure to post only positive feedback is giving a lop sided view of the discussions.  I’ve tried to give feedback here already and been shot down several times because my delivery wasn’t with rainbows and butterflies.  There’s no doubt MANY more who read comments here and don’t waste their time posting anything except positive / reinforcement messages for fear of community backlash or moderation.

2 – We don’t know Steve’s financial situation, so any assumption on capacity to gamble here is all speculation and heresay, likely influenced by our own personal financial situations.  But I will say this : these bonus hunts are great and all, but the format and stakes are generic and dime a dozen out there today.  They are nothing new (indeed, a LOT of mainstreamers out there have already moved past 2/3 quid stakes) and whilst it’s more affordable over the longer term, it also heavily conflicts with the past format of a Bandit video.

I hear Steve is pushing hard to try and put some enthusiasm into these nightly hunts, but it’s a hollow sound.

Maybe it’s just my expectations or my experience with watching his videos in the past couple years, but these videos today just don’t have that excitement factor that made the Bandit the much favoured personality he’s always been known for.

So my ‘honest’ feedback is (and I already know his community will rip me a new one for actually being honest here) is that I find these videos extremely tame, boring, run of the mill, generic and dime a dozen online today.  There’s literally nothing about these videos in the current format that isn’t being done by dozens and dozens of streamers / content creators right now & you can hear it pretty plainly in his voice that it’s not exciting him in the slightest.

People tune into the Bandit for the highs and lows of degen madness he’s known for.

These videos couldn’t be more further away from that format if you tried.

For those of you that are starving for Bandit content and willing to take ANYTHING on offer and be happy with it, good on you.  For the rest of us… these videos are as exciting to watch and watching paint dry and THAT is the ‘honest’ truth.

 

1. Many people don’t post here but do read here. We have no idea what they think. You are right. Forums are moderated. This one sometimes and yes, there is a “family” here although some call it a clique. They sometimes protect each other, even if they are wrong. Pretty much all forums similar to this have that same issue. Some regulars on this forum, troll other forums too, like TGC. Some of them are brazen enough to use the same name and attitude, good or bad. Others aren’t. Like all corners of life, there are good and bad. There is some notion that “our” place isn’t and can’t be bad. Are the opinions skewed ? a little. Are some removed ? sometimes. Are some still there regardless of trajectory ? yes. Seedy doesn’t have time to police it properly. I mean “properly”.

2. Did you see a post on this very thread that quotes bandit and the financial situation ? While you are voicing your opinion, do remember to check out other peoples. Bandit alluded to financial boundaries. So we do indeed know that Bandit can’t keep doing 100k vids. Ahem, risk many 100k loss vids. etc.

Your opinion, is your opinion. You may have seen a handful of opinions that share your opinion. But the majority of opinions aren’t on here. An unknown portion of the people are knuckledragging bellends while others are intelligent and the rest are somewhere in between.

I’m somewhere in between. I enjoy his vids and my personal opinion of him is irrelevant. No one is worth ass kissing. But no one can speak for the masses unless they actually cover the broad spectrum, fully.

I mean… what’s important here is if you want to watch and have an issue, speak about it, hope for better, encourage change, can change be made ? maybe, maybe not.

FTAO Seedy. I couldn’t login, the reset password didn’t work so I created a new account. You better allow this post or it kinda proves this guys point haha.
