Hello my loves! I have had a bunch of people question where to find Connor's Adventures! I am going to post the link here BUT TH-cam has changed allowing links in some places, so if the link in this comment does not work I will put it in the description also! th-cam.com/play/PLcyKoQl3OiEGkoczEi6d0oer0N3Q-SIWH.html&si=bHoGxkP40ycYSWOX
Hi Mrs Rogers Loved the video and agreed with your opinions. My suggestion would be to create two playlists for Connor's Adventures, one with the shorts and one with the long form videos, that way viewers can find the videos they would prefer to watch
Hey, I think your plan sounds great, it would be so fun to see the build up then the full thing all together. I’m more of a long form person myself but the clips are fun too
I definitely think you should post both. Personally I wait until the whole video comes out, but it is a good idea to post both. As you said a lot of people watch shorts, and that's all some people watch. But when you find a short that is part of a story when you are scrolling through them I have had trouble with other creators who don't have links to the other parts of the short or a long version of the story. So half the time I just don't get to see the whole story because I can't find the rest of it because sometimes you stumble on an older post that has already been buried on their page by more recent content. So keeping both is not only better for your current viewers, but it also seems like the best way to pull in new ones also. I'm not a creator so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but that's my perspective as a chronic TH-cam user.
Story 4: That’s not just a cut them out, that’s a sue her. She stole THOUSANDS from you and your fiancé, and money from your wedding stuff. Sue her so fast
The last story got me. How could your "best friend" steal tens of thousands of dollars from you? Why should you let them get away with that? Thats extreme entitilment. I would file a lawsuit Also, i prefer long form because i can download it
They were arguing over television and the daughter decided to draw on a wedding dress in sharpie? No. She absolutely should be held responsible for that! OP is good apple, all the way!
Not wedding dress a quisenyera dress its a 15 or 16 birthday for Mexican women as they are growing up this is a beautiful ceremony for the child to become a young women
Story 2: I think it is reasonable to have the daughter pay back the dress. The mom did the right thing by immediately paying back her stepdaughter's family and then making her biological daughter pay back. This isn't going to be done in a weekend or a month, but that is the point. She has to learn that there are consequences for actions. When she becomes an adult in less than 2 years, she will be financially, if not criminally, responsible for destruction of property.
That bride should have told her family and friends that we’re defending the thief that “oh if she’s like family, or it wasn’t a big deal then why didn’t all of you pay her credit card debt? “ And better tell the thief and all those people to return the money otherwise I’m pretty try sure they could press charges bc she was given the money to be spent for a certain event but instead pocketed the money for herself.
To go with story number three: in my algebra class in college, there were two “kids” freshly out of high school who loved to act up. The professor finally got tired of it, stopped the class, then told them that this isn’t high school. She’s not required to put up with them acting up and could actually drop them from the class and make them take it next semester. Both boys straightened right up. It was beautiful!!
Then the opposite can be true. I had a Geology Professor in college (the 2000s) that also taught middle school (she had a masters degree and they needed her to teach one night class a week as an adjunct). We were all between our sophomore and senior years (age 19 up…one was over 40) plus and we had to ask to go to the restroom/leave, she would ‘discipline us’ for “breaking rules” (that were petty and we had in no other class…it was insane). She tried to make us ‘stay after class for 30 minutes’ as a “detention.” We weren’t allowed to question her grading and so forth and so on (I can’t imagine how hard she was in her 8th graders). After the first week more than a dozen of us went to the Dean and they had to tell her to chill…and that she couldn’t require us to get permission to go to the bathroom…we were adults and free to leave at any time, she could make us “sit in the hall” (she did it once after a girl politely challenged her about a question on a test we were going over ). After, she was an absolute jerk to us for the rest of the semester. The assignments and projects were juvenile (make a pamphlet on how to ‘survive a natural disaster’ etc. instead of, memorize the ice ages and epochs, and so forth…what we expected to learn and others in other sections learned. Not one person (in an honors class) got an A. We had fun on those Professor reviews. She was never invited back to teach.
Exactly, this is how it should be. It’s college. Even if their high school “coddled” them, it doesn’t matter. College is not a time to fuck around, they can either change the behavior and take it seriously or fail and lose thousands of dollars and learn what real life is like. Either way I think the teacher handled it great.
@@MountainPearls I really dislike teachers like that. She definitely had no idea what she was doing when it came to teaching adults. Sounds like she had control issues.
@@stargirl91291 yes she did!! I loved that teacher. I actually took her classes as I worked my way up, because she taught those too. Her teaching style was awesome!!
If I was the fiancé in the last story, I would contact a lawyer or the police to see if he can press charges for the theft. On a better note, I am absolutely LOVING the new videos with skits. They are so hilarious and fun.
Story #1, we pushed off out wedding by 3 weeks because my husband's sister was having a baby. That was a big thing but i love her and would never not wanted her there! Pumpkin patch is an easy change/switch
Story 2: I’m a Mexican American without kids, but I have a strong opinion bc of my first point. If someone did that to my $3000 dress, I’d be beyond pissed about more than money. I would feel my culture has been disrespected. This is the last big age milestone in Mexican culture. I might be too emotional about it but I would’ve been harsher on Bethany. It’s not about the money it’s about the sentiment of the occasion she tried to ruin
Story #1: I honestly think that if the husbands mother had been the one to originally suggest going to the pumpkin patch in September then his sister and her family would have gone.
The bride story...did someone seriously try to defend her by saying that she financially benefited? You're not supposed to financially benefit from someone else's wedding! Ugh! If I were in the bride's place, I'd be rethinking my friend group after my honeymoon. And to answer your question: I'm a long form kind of person. I was brought here by your teaching skits but I'm not sure about these Kyle/Connor stories. I'll have to actually watch them to see... And for your well wish...I hope the next time you step outside you get a lovely breath of crisp autumn air.
I like the way you've been posting the skits: daily shorts, and a full-length version at the end of the arc. I don't always watch the shorts as they come out (I prefer binge-watching a story whenever possible), but they make great teasers when I see them in my feed. Ramps up the anticipation for the full-length video.
Interestingly enough (for me specifically) I feel way more "coddled" in college than I ever did I highschool 😅 The bride from story #4 should honestly press charges against the friend. She committed theft.
College story: for me, it shouldn't matter how coddled someone was in high school, people are paying to be in these classes, if this person was in my class in college I would have asked them to leave myself, if u don't care what ur grade is that's ur issue, don't ruin class for others, who again have paid to be there
My stance exactly!! I’m in my first year and if I’m going into debt to be in these classes, I am GOING TO BENEFIT AS MUCH AS I CAN from these classes. I genuinely don’t get how some people literally pay for this themselves and still somehow don’t care.
I don't understand that sentiment. The only one who was being disruptive to class was the PROFESSOR for taking time out of the class to argue with the students. Being on your phone during class or walking in late is not disruptive to the other kids, and if you are so sensitive that it does distract you, that's your own issue. You're right - those students are adults and it is none of the professor's business what time they come in. Their grade is their grade, but you can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't chastise the students for being late like in K-12 but not coddle them like the adults they are.
@@gymnasticsgirlie0647 the thing is they weren’t just on their phones. They were talking loud enough and in a small class like that? A side whisper would cause a big enough distraction for even 10 seconds, let alone LOUDLY coming in and arguing everything. That’s at least my stance on it
@@gymnasticsgirlie0647ummm that was actually light compared to profs I had. You weren't allowed to write the exam if you missed so many classes and you got glared at by both prof and students if the phone went off! Not to mention, the hall doors/main of any class, even small seminar rooms are so loud. Plus the course revolves around music, which in any manner requires a lot of listening!!!!
I’m sick right now, and having a new episode of my favorite series from Rebecca makes my day so much better ❤ (Edit: Thank you to everyone who is saying get well soon and I hope the same for those who are also sick the comments!)
Second story: I have heard the second story before with more information I don’t remember the exact number but the mom/parents spent around $4,000 for the sweat sixteen party and there was some more info that I can’t really remember but it definitely makes OP as a good apple without a doubt at least in my opinion.
I love those little stories of Connor’s adventures. I don’t watch them in the shorts as I can never find them all to watch the whole story in the correct order but I do love to watch the longer video.
For the first story. I think it’s different doing the same thing two days in a row vs doing two different things I get why they wouldn’t want to do the same thing twice in one weekend
Same. I love apple picking, but I wouldn’t want to do it two days in a row or twice in the same day. That’s just a lot. Maybe twice in the same day, but what am I gonna do the second time anyways? There’s only so many apples I’m gonna pay for, and I’m gonna get bruises from caring them 😂
With the college class one- if someone did that in any of my classes THAT IM PAYING TO GO TO, absolutely I’d be PISSED. If you don’t care about your own progress or learning, that’s fine that doesn’t effect me. But the bs of “I’ll show up when I want to and I can just do what I want during class” is ridiculous. You are PAYING for these classes. Why would you not go???
I’m in running start so I’m a junior in high school but take college classes BECAUSE of the fact that their less distractions because most people who don’t want to be their(so far for me) don’t show up or just get kicked out of class.
#1 I think them saying two pumpkin patches in one weekend is too much may be a little bit of the money, they can be pricey. But if MIL pays for it then maybe it is just two very long days in a row with an 11 month old.
I have been loving the multiple part Conners adventures, please continue it, I would love being able to have the long form versions too in case im offline for a few days i can catch up without looking for all individually ❤
Story 2: I think it was a fair punishment. But, as a parent of 16 and 17 yr olds, I would likely add on something for the mental anguish she caused her step sister and step father. Also, if the new dress was more expensive, I would make her pay that amount, not the $3k.
Yep. She obviously needs counseling for anger issue and impulse control. Perhaps some sessions can be with her stepsister, along with the rest of the family, and try to do what she can to repair the relationship (like written apology, making amends otherwise, etc).
Yeah I think therapy would be good and maybe being grounded or punished in some other way until she is able to pay that money back. Gives her more of an incentive to pay it back and teaches her a lesson.
I believe she’s saying she would make the daughter pay the $3K, plus interest added due to emotional damages on the step daughter, the father and the father’s ex wife. THAT’S ADULTHOOD! I love it
@@isabellawrence5891 I don’t think grounding is a good idea, since it’s probably gonna take AT LEAST multiple months if not more than a year to pay back. Maybe grounded for a few weeks and then on a short leash after that for a few months. But I personally think that grounding her isn’t the way to go, it’ll make her act out more, and make her even more likely to resent her family. She does need a LOT of therapy though.
Please do both, I love having the longer ones to watch later, and shorter ones to watch when I have little Time. I love having options so please keep doing both
Personally, I like watching the whole videos all at once. The clips leave me hanging and I might forget about it the next day. Posting the links in the info box is a great idea. No matter how you decide to do Kyle and Conner, I love those clips and look forward to watching them.
I agree with all the apples this week!!! That last one, ima need the update cuz I can't believe so many people in OP's life, including her mom, is saying forgive the crappy thief. I always vote for longer content and would even love a second 'Am I the Bad Apple' day a week if it was possible. Longer vids are my thing cuz I can sit back and eat or do something else while listening to the stories.
I'm so excited for your new series of Connor and Kyle!!! I found you on TT with your teacher stories, I have 4 kids, 18, 14, 11 and 2 and teachers are angels lol I could never!!!
I enjoy the longer style content for actual stories. I like the short clips for the one off scenarios. I found you from those first shorts you did in your classroom and I was immediatly hooked. Your kindness and humor are a irresistible combination. You are one of my favorit content creators. 😊
Story 1: As a parent, and also having family close it is on you to both advocate for your little ones, and also to determine what is best for your family. If that means skipping some events, it is what it is. And apparently this family has never had healthy boundaries. Story 3: I might lean crabapple. No problem with dealing with the problem, but I don't know if publicly was the best way to do it. Story 4: I think former MOH is in lawsuit territory (maybe fact check this with Avery). That is embezzlement. People have gone to prison for things like this. So yeah, not a problem to cut her out.
The one I'd seen on #4 was it was either $24k or 25k so she absolutely should have gone to jail as that's grand theft, and she absolutely needs better friends because how anyone can come out in favor of the thief is beyond me. And the thing that didn't really get pointed out is that her MOH didn't even try. She could have done some fun stuff and just said "Oh yeah, costs were running high. It's 2023 and inflation hit this hard, blah, blah, blah." and pocketed half. Nope, she just went as cheap as she possibly could go so she pocketed the most she could. That's being a truly horrible person. Send that woman to jail!
I like the Connor adventures. And I think it's great you're doing the opposite of what people would expect you to do with ai for this kind of production, normally people give ai the prompt to write for them. But I love that you're getting ai prompts and making it your own creative project. I've thought they were really fun so far.
I like the new skits and I like the shorts and then a full video after they are done. For some reason I am only seeing the skits after you are a few days into that week. Honestly, keep doing content that makes you happy and you find interest in producing. Only spend your time making what makes you happy. We are here because we like you and will watch whatever you produce. ❤
i originally found you from your shorts on tiktok and have been loving doing your longer content like the podcasts and the AITBA. the recent 4 part shorts have also been really cool lately
My kids are small, so story #2 is a long way off for us, but i feel that just making her pay back the dress is a light consequence. $3k is a lot of money and could get her in a lot of legal trouble in another circumstance if mom hadn't bailed her out. I think i would make them pay it back with interest and i wouldnt let her go to the party
Story 2: I think the punishment was not harsh enough. While I'm not a parent and nor close to that age either, she should definitely do something for Maria. Paying back the dress is one thing but also you could make Bethany do Marias chores for that month for example for the inconvenience.
Vlog at the end of the week. I can never find the rest of the story when I see the reel on FB and it drives me crazy. I miss your history lessons. I struggled with history in high school so I struggled with it. My husband and son love it so having your lessons truly helped.
Story 3: To look at the flip side of what Rebecca was saying, I think that pulling them aside for a one on one talk like that could very easily be seen as further coddling them. I don't think the answer is more coddling of students, I think the answer is that high school needs to be teaching students how to take accountability and responsibility before they are sent out into the "real" world. If the students are not invested in their classes by college, they shouldn't be there, and they should be making room for the kids that do care and do want to learn.
I found you from shorts but I do love your longer content too, you're just so much fun to watch and always make me think. Adore the podcast too! Honestly sometimes I don't watch Bad Apple or whatever right away and then I'll be scrolling shorts and see a clip and it'll remind me to watch the episode so absolutely keep doing that PLEASE!! But I think I'd watch you do/talk about just about anything, I love how you always bring such energy and thoughtfulness to things, your personality shines and you're so caring and I'll always support people like that!
I think that the punishment from story two was too light, all she needs to do is pay for the dress, she still caused her step-sister extreme emotional stress/damage and she was unable to wear her own dress so in my opinion only paying back the dress was a light punishment
I agree. I don’t have kids, but I am a daughter and a sister. If my siblings or I had done something like that, not only would we have had to pay back our parents, we would’ve been on complete lock down. No phones, no tablets, computer only for homework (heavily monitored), no outings with friends, no books, no toys, no games, nothing. The only way I would’ve been allowed to leave the house would’ve been for school, church, work, and doctors appointments. My cousins and many of my friends are of Mexican descent, and that story almost brought me to tears. The thought of dishonoring someone else’s cultural right of passage in such a horrible, spiteful way is absolutely disgusting to me. That girl needs some help, that’s for sure.
I found you from your "I don't get paid enough" videos. I like the short Connor clips, but I really like the longer vod at the end. Keep up the great content.
I am pretty sure that making the short content available is gonna reach more people and draw engagement cause people are gonna want to know how it ends. And personally i prefer the longer form but if i'd watched one or even all of the shorts I wouldn't mind watching it all again for continuity! And also I had no idea about the videos so definitely more people need to find them!
Both please!! I love watching shorts but sometimes i prefer watching the full vid when im not busy so i would prefer options on where i watch so please continue posting it as shorts and long form content!!
That last one is insanity . depending on where they're flying too. Like , 1 person taking a vacation to another state and staying. And having dinner is thousands of dollars people. 8 people! Yeah, 10,000 is easily what you're paying.
Girl, You have Figured out long-form content and mastered it. I found you from your field trip from hell, Story time video. Anything you works in my opinion however I do enjoy long content because it shows your personality more. And as someone with ADHD trying to keep my attention span longer is at the forefront.
I found your channel through the treacher videos. I like the longer 10 minutes or more content. For the Conner content I would post both the short form and longer compilations. Good luck and really enjoy your channel.
I talked to my mom about this since me and my sister have a similar age gap. She said that not only is making her pay back the money for the dress 100% reasonable, she said that the Bethany should be grounded until said money is paid back.
3) for my college, after 3 absences the teacher has the right to fail you(if you have a reasonable excuse your good) And if you should up late you only get partial credit. Plus you do need to complete all the other work. If the kids don’t want to be there then they should just leave not ruin the class for the others GOOD APPLE
I'm going to slightly disagree because you're paying for college and if you can pass the tests and meet all the other requirements and do all the other work without showing up the class then good for you... I don't like the fact that they were disruptive and disrespectful to the instructor but...
I found you through teacher short here on YT. I watch the shorts and the long-form at the end to get the ending. Sometimes I skip the shorts because I can’t tell what part it is and I like going chronologically.
I really like the new skits you're doing with the Conner universe, it just doesn't come across my feed that much. I think I prefer the short ones but I love that you do the full one for people who like longer videos too!!
I can somewhat speak on story 2: I am not trying to be racist in any way. I had a neighbor growing up. She was of Mexican descant. (Sorry for any misspelling ;-;) She was only a couple of years younger than me and I remember hearing about her 15th and I wasn't invited as it was a family only thing and I understand. I didn't throw me a pity party but I did wish her a happy birthday. I hope she is doing okay as it's been years since we stopped talking and I hope that she's doing good. I will say GOOD APPLE all the way!!! (Also not a parent but I do have a sister and I think that mom did the right thing)
For the pumpkin patch one, I noticed that she also did the "too many events in one weekend" but on thinking about it I think maybe it was more of a "two of the *same* events in one weekend" makes more sense.
I like the idea of posting the 1 min videos and then posting them altogether at the end of the week. I found you from your shorts with Connor and Kyle. Loved those!
I found you from bad apple and love your long form content. The podcast is fun too. I don’t know Connor and Kyle but I’m gonna go find them now lol. Personally these story times/bad apple type VODS are my favorite form of content but I’m weird
I love your content so much! I usually will sit down and watch more long form content so I personally would watch all of the shorts compiled :) Go Rebecca! You're awesome!
I like both short and long content. Some days, I only have time for short content. But I still love long content as I watch that when I am on the treadmill.
I actually like that you post the short vids of Connor and Kyle first nd then the long video at the end cause the skits are awesome and me, my wife nd daughter enjoy getting to watch the stories a cpl different times. 💯💯
Edit to answer question: I tend to like to watch longer form stuff even if it's a compilation of short clips. I just think it's easier for me to put it on and get some giggles while I'm driving or doing housework. That's generally when I do TH-cam things. TH-cam is honestly my biggest distresser and having more at once in a concentrated area tends to be a lot easier and less frustrating than having to watch a bunch of individual clips. find it very interesting that you picked and covered the 3rd story today as I just saw it on another channel just yesterday and kept thinking how I'd love to see your response to it!
Story 2 reminds me of how my dad keeps saying equity does not mean equality because even in a family where we were all raised the same way different sibling will have different rules and “just because that was the rule when your sister was your age doesn’t mean that that is the rule for you.”
I saw something explaining this as if someone in a class got a small cut on their elbow and another kid got a big scrape on their knee if you gave both of them a small bandage it wouldn’t help the student with a big scrape on their knee. Ik it’s a little different but same core concept.
I really love Am I The Bad Apple! When it comes to the 1 minute clips, I frequently see them out of order so they don't make sense. I'd prefer the full clip in one video. For the Shorts, I like those to tell a full story in that minute or so. Hope this helps you decide how to proceed. 😊
Store #1 The op not wanting to do the pumpkin patch twice in one weekend is probably because they have a kid under 1. The kid would probably be very cranky and you have to pack a TON of stuff and lug it around. With the SIL, based on the activities they are doing, the kids are older. Not sure how old but older. So it might be easier to have them do multiple things in a weekend.🤷♀️
❤ Conner and Kyle long content. The short ones are super good. And I love to get them in small pieces. But also really appreciate getting the whole thing in the long video afterwards. Feels a bit like a puzzle. First we get the pieces. Then the whole picture. Maybe it's just me. But I really liked them. 😊
I pretty much agreed with you for all the stories. Regarding Connor and Kyle skits: I would watch both short and longer vids. It's kinda like a tease each day and then at the end you can watch them all together.
I think a good idea for the Connor's Adventures video would be to post the full video whenever it's scheduled, and then post several parts of it as shorts over the next couple of days.
I don't know from round the first story comes from, but from around here in Texas, a pumpkin patch ride event is a whole deal. A birthday party. Maybe hour to hours, maybe. Soccer maybe hour to as well. Pumpkin patch is a five or six hour event sometimes, depending on how far you have to drive to get there.
apple #4: if i were the bride, i would absolutely press charges! she was GIVEN money from her BEST FRIENDS husband, to give her bestie a good time, and she knew how much her friend wanted a fancy party. instead, she STOLE THOUSANDS of dollars, without asking. that is THEFT! if she needed help, she should have asked! i would kick her out of the wedding, press charges for theft, and then cut contact! the bride is a good apple! the maid of honor, and the people who were defending her are not! ps. i love this series! keep going!
I found you through the school skits, and I'll admit I prefer longer content. With other content creators I watch, they have several shorts and then do a collage of them to make a longer vod. I tend to watch their vods more but that's how I have seen it done by other people I watch.
Hey so I do love the skids and the Long Applepicking Videos as well. For your Question: I have seen a lot of Creators have the Skits all over and rearly at the end a Long Video with all of them combined... It would be awesome, to have the short Clips in Order, a longer Video at the end and then a seperaten Playlist with all those longer Videos aswell, because there is nothing more frustrating, then to look for one short Clip to make Sense of a Story. Especially without TH-cam Premium....Hope this helps 😅 Also Thank You so much Your Content ist Awesome 😊👍🍀
Story 3, good apple. One of our teachers did something similar. We had a few troublemakers who were especially loud that day, and we already had a difficult period. The teacher finally raised his voice and threw them out. (Context: Germany, our version of high school. We only had classes 11-13, age 17 and older. Due to the nature of the school, all of us already had a lower school degree, allowing us to start an apprenticeship. It was a specialised school and everyone was there because they wanted to be.)
Hello my loves! I have had a bunch of people question where to find Connor's Adventures! I am going to post the link here BUT TH-cam has changed allowing links in some places, so if the link in this comment does not work I will put it in the description also! th-cam.com/play/PLcyKoQl3OiEGkoczEi6d0oer0N3Q-SIWH.html&si=bHoGxkP40ycYSWOX
Hi Mrs Rogers
Loved the video and agreed with your opinions. My suggestion would be to create two playlists for Connor's Adventures, one with the shorts and one with the long form videos, that way viewers can find the videos they would prefer to watch
Hey, I think your plan sounds great, it would be so fun to see the build up then the full thing all together. I’m more of a long form person myself but the clips are fun too
I definitely think you should post both. Personally I wait until the whole video comes out, but it is a good idea to post both.
As you said a lot of people watch shorts, and that's all some people watch. But when you find a short that is part of a story when you are scrolling through them I have had trouble with other creators who don't have links to the other parts of the short or a long version of the story.
So half the time I just don't get to see the whole story because I can't find the rest of it because sometimes you stumble on an older post that has already been buried on their page by more recent content.
So keeping both is not only better for your current viewers, but it also seems like the best way to pull in new ones also.
I'm not a creator so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but that's my perspective as a chronic TH-cam user.
What's your cat's name
😊
Story 4: That’s not just a cut them out, that’s a sue her. She stole THOUSANDS from you and your fiancé, and money from your wedding stuff. Sue her so fast
100 like and first reply
102 like and second reply
The last story got me. How could your "best friend" steal tens of thousands of dollars from you? Why should you let them get away with that? Thats extreme entitilment. I would file a lawsuit
Also, i prefer long form because i can download it
A lawsuit, heck I would file theft charges.
They were arguing over television and the daughter decided to draw on a wedding dress in sharpie? No. She absolutely should be held responsible for that! OP is good apple, all the way!
Not wedding dress a quisenyera dress its a 15 or 16 birthday for Mexican women as they are growing up this is a beautiful ceremony for the child to become a young women
@@waterdragon55 Either way, she should still have been held responsible for ruining it with a sharpie!
@@waterdragon55 it's "quinceañera", it means " 15 years" in feminine form (so it's indeed for the 15th birthday)
The dress wrecker daughter was a year old than the Quince, dress wreckers just being spoiled
Does this lady think she’s the only one who visits a pumpkin patch for Halloween each year? It’s “her tradition?” 🙄
Story 2: I think it is reasonable to have the daughter pay back the dress. The mom did the right thing by immediately paying back her stepdaughter's family and then making her biological daughter pay back. This isn't going to be done in a weekend or a month, but that is the point. She has to learn that there are consequences for actions. When she becomes an adult in less than 2 years, she will be financially, if not criminally, responsible for destruction of property.
Let’s go apple picking when we’re supposed to be working
Fr
@@isabellalovebaby they cut my hours so I deserve to goof off a bit lol
Don't tell the boss lol
Shhh, I'm totally supposed to be apple picking right now
I downloaded this at work if that counts LOL
That bride should have told her family and friends that we’re defending the thief that “oh if she’s like family, or it wasn’t a big deal then why didn’t all of you pay her credit card debt? “ And better tell the thief and all those people to return the money otherwise I’m pretty try sure they could press charges bc she was given the money to be spent for a certain event but instead pocketed the money for herself.
Did you have a student name Everly?
To go with story number three: in my algebra class in college, there were two “kids” freshly out of high school who loved to act up. The professor finally got tired of it, stopped the class, then told them that this isn’t high school. She’s not required to put up with them acting up and could actually drop them from the class and make them take it next semester. Both boys straightened right up. It was beautiful!!
That makes me so happy 😊😂
Then the opposite can be true. I had a Geology Professor in college (the 2000s) that also taught middle school (she had a masters degree and they needed her to teach one night class a week as an adjunct). We were all between our sophomore and senior years (age 19 up…one was over 40) plus and we had to ask to go to the restroom/leave, she would ‘discipline us’ for “breaking rules” (that were petty and we had in no other class…it was insane). She tried to make us ‘stay after class for 30 minutes’ as a “detention.” We weren’t allowed to question her grading and so forth and so on (I can’t imagine how hard she was in her 8th graders). After the first week more than a dozen of us went to the Dean and they had to tell her to chill…and that she couldn’t require us to get permission to go to the bathroom…we were adults and free to leave at any time, she could make us “sit in the hall” (she did it once after a girl politely challenged her about a question on a test we were going over ). After, she was an absolute jerk to us for the rest of the semester. The assignments and projects were juvenile (make a pamphlet on how to ‘survive a natural disaster’ etc. instead of, memorize the ice ages and epochs, and so forth…what we expected to learn and others in other sections learned. Not one person (in an honors class) got an A. We had fun on those Professor reviews. She was never invited back to teach.
Exactly, this is how it should be. It’s college. Even if their high school “coddled” them, it doesn’t matter. College is not a time to fuck around, they can either change the behavior and take it seriously or fail and lose thousands of dollars and learn what real life is like. Either way I think the teacher handled it great.
@@MountainPearls I really dislike teachers like that. She definitely had no idea what she was doing when it came to teaching adults. Sounds like she had control issues.
@@stargirl91291 yes she did!! I loved that teacher. I actually took her classes as I worked my way up, because she taught those too. Her teaching style was awesome!!
If I was the fiancé in the last story, I would contact a lawyer or the police to see if he can press charges for the theft. On a better note, I am absolutely LOVING the new videos with skits. They are so hilarious and fun.
Story #1, we pushed off out wedding by 3 weeks because my husband's sister was having a baby. That was a big thing but i love her and would never not wanted her there! Pumpkin patch is an easy change/switch
Apple 4 kicking M out of the wedding was a nicer thing than I would of done considering she literally STOLE from you
Yup I would have called the police on her thts for sure
Story 2: I’m a Mexican American without kids, but I have a strong opinion bc of my first point. If someone did that to my $3000 dress, I’d be beyond pissed about more than money. I would feel my culture has been disrespected. This is the last big age milestone in Mexican culture. I might be too emotional about it but I would’ve been harsher on Bethany. It’s not about the money it’s about the sentiment of the occasion she tried to ruin
I like how your cat jumped up as soon as you said "I don't have kids", as if to say "what about me?"
Story #1: I honestly think that if the husbands mother had been the one to originally suggest going to the pumpkin patch in September then his sister and her family would have gone.
Not only would that Maid of Honor be out of the wedding, she would have been arrested. I can't believe she was able to just get away with it!
The bride story...did someone seriously try to defend her by saying that she financially benefited? You're not supposed to financially benefit from someone else's wedding! Ugh! If I were in the bride's place, I'd be rethinking my friend group after my honeymoon.
And to answer your question: I'm a long form kind of person. I was brought here by your teaching skits but I'm not sure about these Kyle/Connor stories. I'll have to actually watch them to see...
And for your well wish...I hope the next time you step outside you get a lovely breath of crisp autumn air.
I originally saw the MoH Thief story on Bored Panda, and the amount her fiancé gave the MoH was $25,000. That MoH is a thief, period!
I'm not normally one that jumps to suing someone, but that maid of honor needs sued. That's ridiculous.
😮😮😮😮😮
I like the way you've been posting the skits: daily shorts, and a full-length version at the end of the arc. I don't always watch the shorts as they come out (I prefer binge-watching a story whenever possible), but they make great teasers when I see them in my feed. Ramps up the anticipation for the full-length video.
Interestingly enough (for me specifically) I feel way more "coddled" in college than I ever did I highschool 😅
The bride from story #4 should honestly press charges against the friend. She committed theft.
College story: for me, it shouldn't matter how coddled someone was in high school, people are paying to be in these classes, if this person was in my class in college I would have asked them to leave myself, if u don't care what ur grade is that's ur issue, don't ruin class for others, who again have paid to be there
My stance exactly!! I’m in my first year and if I’m going into debt to be in these classes, I am GOING TO BENEFIT AS MUCH AS I CAN from these classes. I genuinely don’t get how some people literally pay for this themselves and still somehow don’t care.
@@3nd0fr3gss8 yup, probably their parents money
I don't understand that sentiment. The only one who was being disruptive to class was the PROFESSOR for taking time out of the class to argue with the students. Being on your phone during class or walking in late is not disruptive to the other kids, and if you are so sensitive that it does distract you, that's your own issue. You're right - those students are adults and it is none of the professor's business what time they come in. Their grade is their grade, but you can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't chastise the students for being late like in K-12 but not coddle them like the adults they are.
@@gymnasticsgirlie0647 the thing is they weren’t just on their phones. They were talking loud enough and in a small class like that? A side whisper would cause a big enough distraction for even 10 seconds, let alone LOUDLY coming in and arguing everything. That’s at least my stance on it
@@gymnasticsgirlie0647ummm that was actually light compared to profs I had. You weren't allowed to write the exam if you missed so many classes and you got glared at by both prof and students if the phone went off! Not to mention, the hall doors/main of any class, even small seminar rooms are so loud.
Plus the course revolves around music, which in any manner requires a lot of listening!!!!
I’m sick right now, and having a new episode of my favorite series from Rebecca makes my day so much better ❤
(Edit: Thank you to everyone who is saying get well soon and I hope the same for those who are also sick the comments!)
Sick right now club. 😢 Hope you feel better soon
THIS IS LITERALLY ME TOO! FEEL BETTER SOON!
@@just.marinettehope you feel better soon
Hope you all feel better soon!
Hope y’all feel better
Second story: I have heard the second story before with more information I don’t remember the exact number but the mom/parents spent around $4,000 for the sweat sixteen party and there was some more info that I can’t really remember but it definitely makes OP as a good apple without a doubt at least in my opinion.
I love those little stories of Connor’s adventures. I don’t watch them in the shorts as I can never find them all to watch the whole story in the correct order but I do love to watch the longer video.
If you want to watch the full ones, here is the link to the playlist! th-cam.com/play/PLcyKoQl3OiEGkoczEi6d0oer0N3Q-SIWH.html&si=bHoGxkP40ycYSWOX
For the first story. I think it’s different doing the same thing two days in a row vs doing two different things I get why they wouldn’t want to do the same thing twice in one weekend
Same. I love apple picking, but I wouldn’t want to do it two days in a row or twice in the same day. That’s just a lot.
Maybe twice in the same day, but what am I gonna do the second time anyways? There’s only so many apples I’m gonna pay for, and I’m gonna get bruises from caring them 😂
With the college class one- if someone did that in any of my classes THAT IM PAYING TO GO TO, absolutely I’d be PISSED. If you don’t care about your own progress or learning, that’s fine that doesn’t effect me. But the bs of “I’ll show up when I want to and I can just do what I want during class” is ridiculous. You are PAYING for these classes. Why would you not go???
I’m in running start so I’m a junior in high school but take college classes BECAUSE of the fact that their less distractions because most people who don’t want to be their(so far for me) don’t show up or just get kicked out of class.
#1 I think them saying two pumpkin patches in one weekend is too much may be a little bit of the money, they can be pricey. But if MIL pays for it then maybe it is just two very long days in a row with an 11 month old.
I was about to say exactly this! On both counts.
some pumpkin patches charge admission. (we don't go to those)
I love Tuesdays only for bad apple and getting to see Rebecca ❤🎉
I have been loving the multiple part Conners adventures, please continue it, I would love being able to have the long form versions too in case im offline for a few days i can catch up without looking for all individually ❤
Story 2: I think it was a fair punishment. But, as a parent of 16 and 17 yr olds, I would likely add on something for the mental anguish she caused her step sister and step father. Also, if the new dress was more expensive, I would make her pay that amount, not the $3k.
Well it was 3k for the dress I think
Yep. She obviously needs counseling for anger issue and impulse control. Perhaps some sessions can be with her stepsister, along with the rest of the family, and try to do what she can to repair the relationship (like written apology, making amends otherwise, etc).
Yeah I think therapy would be good and maybe being grounded or punished in some other way until she is able to pay that money back. Gives her more of an incentive to pay it back and teaches her a lesson.
I believe she’s saying she would make the daughter pay the $3K, plus interest added due to emotional damages on the step daughter, the father and the father’s ex wife. THAT’S ADULTHOOD! I love it
@@isabellawrence5891 I don’t think grounding is a good idea, since it’s probably gonna take AT LEAST multiple months if not more than a year to pay back. Maybe grounded for a few weeks and then on a short leash after that for a few months. But I personally think that grounding her isn’t the way to go, it’ll make her act out more, and make her even more likely to resent her family. She does need a LOT of therapy though.
Please do both, I love having the longer ones to watch later, and shorter ones to watch when I have little Time. I love having options so please keep doing both
Personally, I like watching the whole videos all at once. The clips leave me hanging and I might forget about it the next day. Posting the links in the info box is a great idea. No matter how you decide to do Kyle and Conner, I love those clips and look forward to watching them.
I agree with all the apples this week!!! That last one, ima need the update cuz I can't believe so many people in OP's life, including her mom, is saying forgive the crappy thief. I always vote for longer content and would even love a second 'Am I the Bad Apple' day a week if it was possible. Longer vids are my thing cuz I can sit back and eat or do something else while listening to the stories.
I'm so excited for your new series of Connor and Kyle!!! I found you on TT with your teacher stories, I have 4 kids, 18, 14, 11 and 2 and teachers are angels lol I could never!!!
Here it is!! I hope you like them!!! th-cam.com/play/PLcyKoQl3OiEGkoczEi6d0oer0N3Q-SIWH.html&si=bHoGxkP40ycYSWOX
Love this series sm!!! Been here since the start, and still love it as much as I used to ❤
I enjoy the longer style content for actual stories. I like the short clips for the one off scenarios. I found you from those first shorts you did in your classroom and I was immediatly hooked. Your kindness and humor are a irresistible combination. You are one of my favorit content creators. 😊
Story 1: As a parent, and also having family close it is on you to both advocate for your little ones, and also to determine what is best for your family. If that means skipping some events, it is what it is. And apparently this family has never had healthy boundaries.
Story 3: I might lean crabapple. No problem with dealing with the problem, but I don't know if publicly was the best way to do it.
Story 4: I think former MOH is in lawsuit territory (maybe fact check this with Avery). That is embezzlement. People have gone to prison for things like this. So yeah, not a problem to cut her out.
The one I'd seen on #4 was it was either $24k or 25k so she absolutely should have gone to jail as that's grand theft, and she absolutely needs better friends because how anyone can come out in favor of the thief is beyond me. And the thing that didn't really get pointed out is that her MOH didn't even try. She could have done some fun stuff and just said "Oh yeah, costs were running high. It's 2023 and inflation hit this hard, blah, blah, blah." and pocketed half. Nope, she just went as cheap as she possibly could go so she pocketed the most she could. That's being a truly horrible person. Send that woman to jail!
I agree! I would’ve pressed charges
I need a friend as pure as Rebecca Rogers with the same cute laugh
I like the Connor adventures. And I think it's great you're doing the opposite of what people would expect you to do with ai for this kind of production, normally people give ai the prompt to write for them. But I love that you're getting ai prompts and making it your own creative project. I've thought they were really fun so far.
I like the new skits and I like the shorts and then a full video after they are done. For some reason I am only seeing the skits after you are a few days into that week. Honestly, keep doing content that makes you happy and you find interest in producing. Only spend your time making what makes you happy. We are here because we like you and will watch whatever you produce. ❤
i originally found you from your shorts on tiktok and have been loving doing your longer content like the podcasts and the AITBA. the recent 4 part shorts have also been really cool lately
My kids are small, so story #2 is a long way off for us, but i feel that just making her pay back the dress is a light consequence. $3k is a lot of money and could get her in a lot of legal trouble in another circumstance if mom hadn't bailed her out. I think i would make them pay it back with interest and i wouldnt let her go to the party
Story 2: I think the punishment was not harsh enough. While I'm not a parent and nor close to that age either, she should definitely do something for Maria. Paying back the dress is one thing but also you could make Bethany do Marias chores for that month for example for the inconvenience.
Vlog at the end of the week. I can never find the rest of the story when I see the reel on FB and it drives me crazy. I miss your history lessons. I struggled with history in high school so I struggled with it. My husband and son love it so having your lessons truly helped.
Story 3: To look at the flip side of what Rebecca was saying, I think that pulling them aside for a one on one talk like that could very easily be seen as further coddling them. I don't think the answer is more coddling of students, I think the answer is that high school needs to be teaching students how to take accountability and responsibility before they are sent out into the "real" world. If the students are not invested in their classes by college, they shouldn't be there, and they should be making room for the kids that do care and do want to learn.
I found you from shorts but I do love your longer content too, you're just so much fun to watch and always make me think. Adore the podcast too! Honestly sometimes I don't watch Bad Apple or whatever right away and then I'll be scrolling shorts and see a clip and it'll remind me to watch the episode so absolutely keep doing that PLEASE!! But I think I'd watch you do/talk about just about anything, I love how you always bring such energy and thoughtfulness to things, your personality shines and you're so caring and I'll always support people like that!
I think that the punishment from story two was too light, all she needs to do is pay for the dress, she still caused her step-sister extreme emotional stress/damage and she was unable to wear her own dress so in my opinion only paying back the dress was a light punishment
I agree. I don’t have kids, but I am a daughter and a sister. If my siblings or I had done something like that, not only would we have had to pay back our parents, we would’ve been on complete lock down. No phones, no tablets, computer only for homework (heavily monitored), no outings with friends, no books, no toys, no games, nothing. The only way I would’ve been allowed to leave the house would’ve been for school, church, work, and doctors appointments.
My cousins and many of my friends are of Mexican descent, and that story almost brought me to tears. The thought of dishonoring someone else’s cultural right of passage in such a horrible, spiteful way is absolutely disgusting to me. That girl needs some help, that’s for sure.
that maid of honor got off easy i would have filed charges and taken her to court for theft.
the cat jumping into the frame just as Rebecca said "I don't have kids" just has the vibe of the cat saying "I'm your child hooman" XD
I found you from your "I don't get paid enough" videos. I like the short Connor clips, but I really like the longer vod at the end. Keep up the great content.
Awesome, thank you!
I am pretty sure that making the short content available is gonna reach more people and draw engagement cause people are gonna want to know how it ends. And personally i prefer the longer form but if i'd watched one or even all of the shorts I wouldn't mind watching it all again for continuity!
And also I had no idea about the videos so definitely more people need to find them!
Both please!! I love watching shorts but sometimes i prefer watching the full vid when im not busy so i would prefer options on where i watch so please continue posting it as shorts and long form content!!
sometimes the shorts sometimes get lost , so having them all in one video is super helpful!
That last one is insanity . depending on where they're flying too. Like , 1 person taking a vacation to another state and staying. And having dinner is thousands of dollars people. 8 people!
Yeah, 10,000 is easily what you're paying.
Girl, You have Figured out long-form content and mastered it. I found you from your field trip from hell, Story time video. Anything you works in my opinion however I do enjoy long content because it shows your personality more. And as someone with ADHD trying to keep my attention span longer is at the forefront.
Voting for both. I love seeing the clips when I’m scrolling but sometimes seeing the whole “series” together can be fun. 😊
I love the way you're currently doing the skits! 1 minute shorts and VOD at the end!
I've just not been seeing your short content/ skits.
Plus, I LOVE listening to your longer videos while doing tedious housework like dishes & laundry.
I found your channel through the treacher videos. I like the longer 10 minutes or more content. For the Conner content I would post both the short form and longer compilations. Good luck and really enjoy your channel.
I found you from the OG Teacher Content and have loved you since girly! I personally love the vods (long form videos) of Kyle and Connor!
I talked to my mom about this since me and my sister have a similar age gap. She said that not only is making her pay back the money for the dress 100% reasonable, she said that the Bethany should be grounded until said money is paid back.
3) for my college, after 3 absences the teacher has the right to fail you(if you have a reasonable excuse your good) And if you should up late you only get partial credit. Plus you do need to complete all the other work. If the kids don’t want to be there then they should just leave not ruin the class for the others
GOOD APPLE
I'm going to slightly disagree because you're paying for college and if you can pass the tests and meet all the other requirements and do all the other work without showing up the class then good for you... I don't like the fact that they were disruptive and disrespectful to the instructor but...
@@Shadofox100from what I got from the story the kids weren’t passing the class…
Who else loves this series?
I found you through teacher short here on YT. I watch the shorts and the long-form at the end to get the ending. Sometimes I skip the shorts because I can’t tell what part it is and I like going chronologically.
I really like the new skits you're doing with the Conner universe, it just doesn't come across my feed that much. I think I prefer the short ones but I love that you do the full one for people who like longer videos too!!
I love your content. I watch both the shorts and the long form video because watching the long form video allows you to see the whole story
I can somewhat speak on story 2: I am not trying to be racist in any way. I had a neighbor growing up. She was of Mexican descant. (Sorry for any misspelling ;-;) She was only a couple of years younger than me and I remember hearing about her 15th and I wasn't invited as it was a family only thing and I understand. I didn't throw me a pity party but I did wish her a happy birthday. I hope she is doing okay as it's been years since we stopped talking and I hope that she's doing good. I will say GOOD APPLE all the way!!! (Also not a parent but I do have a sister and I think that mom did the right thing)
The first half of that last one I was thinking one way, then what a twist! She freaking stole money! People are crazy.
For the pumpkin patch one, I noticed that she also did the "too many events in one weekend" but on thinking about it I think maybe it was more of a "two of the *same* events in one weekend" makes more sense.
I like the idea of posting the 1 min videos and then posting them altogether at the end of the week.
I found you from your shorts with Connor and Kyle. Loved those!
I found you from bad apple and love your long form content. The podcast is fun too. I don’t know Connor and Kyle but I’m gonna go find them now lol. Personally these story times/bad apple type VODS are my favorite form of content but I’m weird
I'll help you find them LOL th-cam.com/play/PLcyKoQl3OiEGkoczEi6d0oer0N3Q-SIWH.html&si=bHoGxkP40ycYSWOX
I love your content so much! I usually will sit down and watch more long form content so I personally would watch all of the shorts compiled :) Go Rebecca! You're awesome!
I like both short and long content. Some days, I only have time for short content. But I still love long content as I watch that when I am on the treadmill.
I actually like that you post the short vids of Connor and Kyle first nd then the long video at the end cause the skits are awesome and me, my wife nd daughter enjoy getting to watch the stories a cpl different times. 💯💯
Edit to answer question: I tend to like to watch longer form stuff even if it's a compilation of short clips. I just think it's easier for me to put it on and get some giggles while I'm driving or doing housework. That's generally when I do TH-cam things. TH-cam is honestly my biggest distresser and having more at once in a concentrated area tends to be a lot easier and less frustrating than having to watch a bunch of individual clips.
find it very interesting that you picked and covered the 3rd story today as I just saw it on another channel just yesterday and kept thinking how I'd love to see your response to it!
Been waiting all day for this!!!
I heard the second story on Shaaba’s channel yesterday and I’m just a dumbfounded now as I was then, how does someone act like this
Story 2 reminds me of how my dad keeps saying equity does not mean equality because even in a family where we were all raised the same way different sibling will have different rules and “just because that was the rule when your sister was your age doesn’t mean that that is the rule for you.”
I saw something explaining this as if someone in a class got a small cut on their elbow and another kid got a big scrape on their knee if you gave both of them a small bandage it wouldn’t help the student with a big scrape on their knee. Ik it’s a little different but same core concept.
@@AnnabethOwl this actually proves how equality sometimes is worse and more hurtful than equity
@@ceciliam6674 yes. I think it was a teacher that made a video about it and how she taught that to her kids(it was a young class)
I like watching it all at once. Less taxing on my short term memory.😊
I really love Am I The Bad Apple! When it comes to the 1 minute clips, I frequently see them out of order so they don't make sense. I'd prefer the full clip in one video. For the Shorts, I like those to tell a full story in that minute or so. Hope this helps you decide how to proceed. 😊
Store #1 The op not wanting to do the pumpkin patch twice in one weekend is probably because they have a kid under 1. The kid would probably be very cranky and you have to pack a TON of stuff and lug it around. With the SIL, based on the activities they are doing, the kids are older. Not sure how old but older. So it might be easier to have them do multiple things in a weekend.🤷♀️
❤ Conner and Kyle long content. The short ones are super good. And I love to get them in small pieces.
But also really appreciate getting the whole thing in the long video afterwards. Feels a bit like a puzzle. First we get the pieces. Then the whole picture. Maybe it's just me. But I really liked them. 😊
I love all of your content, short and long. Whatever you're comfortable with, I'll keep following. ❤
I pretty much agreed with you for all the stories.
Regarding Connor and Kyle skits:
I would watch both short and longer vids.
It's kinda like a tease each day and then at the end you can watch them all together.
TikTok for your podcast wanted to see the rest of the podcast seemed interesting now I can’t escape
I found you from “real things said in my classroom” and I wanted to know what your other content was and I’ve loved it ever since ❤
I love Connor’s adventures, but I also love the am I the bad apple. Long or short form I’m watching every video lol
"She just stole from you!"
Yeah, that's called *FRAUD*, she's lucky the bride isn't suing her.
She needs to pay the money back to her and her husband
I think a good idea for the Connor's Adventures video would be to post the full video whenever it's scheduled, and then post several parts of it as shorts over the next couple of days.
I don't know from round the first story comes from, but from around here in Texas, a pumpkin patch ride event is a whole deal. A birthday party. Maybe hour to hours, maybe. Soccer maybe hour to as well.
Pumpkin patch is a five or six hour event sometimes, depending on how far you have to drive to get there.
If I see a short out of order I go and catch up but if you did post the whole thing it would be easier to find. Love all your content.
The bride needs to sue the maid of honour she is a theif
apple #4: if i were the bride, i would absolutely press charges! she was GIVEN money from her BEST FRIENDS husband, to give her bestie a good time, and she knew how much her friend wanted a fancy party. instead, she STOLE THOUSANDS of dollars, without asking. that is THEFT! if she needed help, she should have asked! i would kick her out of the wedding, press charges for theft, and then cut contact! the bride is a good apple! the maid of honor, and the people who were defending her are not!
ps. i love this series! keep going!
I found you through the school skits, and I'll admit I prefer longer content. With other content creators I watch, they have several shorts and then do a collage of them to make a longer vod. I tend to watch their vods more but that's how I have seen it done by other people I watch.
Post both shorts and a VOD! a compilation for the people who binge those shorts!
Hey so I do love the skids and the Long Applepicking Videos as well.
For your Question:
I have seen a lot of Creators have the Skits all over and rearly at the end a Long Video with all of them combined...
It would be awesome, to have the short Clips in Order, a longer Video at the end and then a seperaten Playlist with all those longer Videos aswell, because there is nothing more frustrating, then to look for one short Clip to make Sense of a Story. Especially without TH-cam Premium....Hope this helps 😅
Also Thank You so much Your Content ist Awesome 😊👍🍀
Story 3, good apple. One of our teachers did something similar. We had a few troublemakers who were especially loud that day, and we already had a difficult period. The teacher finally raised his voice and threw them out.
(Context: Germany, our version of high school. We only had classes 11-13, age 17 and older. Due to the nature of the school, all of us already had a lower school degree, allowing us to start an apprenticeship. It was a specialised school and everyone was there because they wanted to be.)
Conner and Kyle sound like fun! I'd prefer the long video at the end. I usually have TH-cam on in the background so I much prefer longer form content.
