Potentially new beach space

I also intend to resist the temptation watching those videos henceforward. It's not only the fault of the Content Creators, they deliver what they get. In the past their information was mostly useful. On the other hand they are constrained to the need producing klicks. This can be counterproductive on some occasions.

I think for the future it may be better to wait until the rollout of a new update is finished.  

oh wow Butterfly, I love your signature picture! Did you make it?

Could someone please tell me what the “clicks” are that people are talking about (as opposed to views).

I think they refer to click to open the video.

In my opinion, watching 20 minutes of an entertaining oriented video is a waste of time for me if the info can be read in written format under 3 minutes. It's only a matter of hours till info is in game. I can wait.

I miss informative video like Dairy News. With translation, transcription and straight to the point. Accessible to many more players world wide.

Dear LuvHayDay

Additional to the explanation from Frog:

With "klicks" the content creators generate their income respectively a part of it. It depends from the level of familiarity, the distribution and the amount of the so called followers who are watching those vids regularly. In order that the click "counts" you have to watch the vid for a specific time, I believe 30 seconds min. Many clicks mean more income. But it takes a lot of them to become worthwhile. I don't know the precise circumstances how this is controlled but it works.

I won't avoid the content creators for ever, because like you said in the past their informations were useful. But the next time I'll be more reluctant, like 🌼GymGirl🌺 stated already.

That describes it basically all. You have to watch 1-2 adds for a specific time before you see the vid. The content creators generate real money that way. Number adds watched, number vids watched etc. Same when you buy something and put the name of a content creator as code in the designated area on screen.

I will join the disappointed group.. BUT... since this is the first time this has happened (that I know of) I will continue to watch...

For me, personally, I don't know anything from behind the scenes... maybe this was something that SC was encouraging? Or Maybe it was just done as a something new to get the excitement pumping for the next update? Maybe... a million other things or thoughts?

I am at level 214, and I love the sneak peeks... gives me a little preparation time to figure out where to put new items, or rearrange orchards, buildings, deco etc so whenever the update happens I am somewhat prepared.

With all of that said... I appreciate all that the content creators have done and continue to do. I try to keep a positive attitude with glitches. Heaven knows we have enough disappointments in our world right now and something as small as a frustrating/irritating 5 minute video that makes no sense is pffft. LoL

One of the content creators already hinted that the update would be postponed, same like last time when Amazon didn’t prep/release the update in time. If the update is gonna be on Wednesday we might have a chill derby next week, so nobody will be demoted in case the update doesn’t rollout error free.
and just in time for the new farm pass.

I already wrote somewhere else that the update would bring a month lasting event with it, so for me it makes sense that the update will drop on 30th nov.

Oh wait.  This sounded great until it clicked in my brain that that wouldn’t help me much, because I often won’t be around in time to collect items.  I need the spaces to line things up.

(And sometimes things are stacked there when my barn is full.   It would still be nice to be able to catch up on items in a second dairy without having to make space in the ever-shrinking barn.  👀)

I miss seeing Camilla and misc. animals arriving in the red cartoon truck to give us updates. It was cute, informative and fitted the game perfectly. Plus it was in-game so no need to go scavenger hunting on social media to get informations.
