when I upload videos on youtube with ads I always deliberately say "skippable ads only!" and youtube decides "nah, we'll put double unskippable ads only" like I don't even know why they give you the option if they don't care

Making an in-game purchase is like buying something you will never use again.

Fake money is an important part of a diversified portfolio

“This is an ad that would easily trick old people.” Now I’m curious what trickster ads will exist when I’m old.

DON’T TIP YOUR DRIVERS IN-APP FOR APPS LIKE DOORDASH. They have a tendency to use that tip to offset the cost of paying the drivers! Tip the drivers in-person if you can!

I was officially done with my school’s bullshit when they charged me handling for a digital transcript. Colleges don’t care about you anymore, they just want your money.

Every time Lexi says that she's legally blind my brain pictures her in a bright pink suit with a guide chihuahua.

“No I could not” - good on them for refusing to got into an hour long chat about not leaving 🤦🏼‍♀️

Fun fact: pictures are Color remixes

The worst part about the microsoft solitaire collection is the ads and the game have different sliders for the volume, so if you mute the game to listen to music, the ad will play at max volume as soon as it starts. Muting the ad with the volume slider does very little, because the next ad will get IT'S OWN volume slider, which defaults to max volume, of course. The ads are immutable, essentially.

One time I got a 40% plagiarism score on a short essay. I was *really* confused, so I had a look. It was my entire reference list. That was it. At least my referencing was spot on .-.

Fun fact: if you hit the 'i' icon next to the time when an ad plays, most of the time you can hit 'stop seeing this ad', then ok, then close, and it will even skip the next ads right to the video. Me and my brother use it often.

The plagiarism one can actually be so frustrating, especially in KS3 higher level, since they follow an examination boards curriculum, meaning most places with that will do the same/similar assignment questions. If you have 30 people in a course per year, and the school's plagiarism (Turnitin for me) software is connected to 100+ other schools, then as the years go on people's assignments can come up with higher plagiarism scores. My school used to just go off the percentage given, but now looks in detail at the plagiarism results, since it will literally pick up two words next to each other as plagiarism (For example, on an assignment about veterinary surgeons, the worlds "veterinary surgeons" came up as a plagiarised phrase for some people. Just that). So some people were getting like 1% plagiarised from like 40 different sources, such as essays written by people all over the world, making it up to like 30% of random 1 percentages. Like not even things people could cite, just if two or so words came up in a sentence as someone else writing the same topic? Plagiarism apparently

I really like that Lexi explained a lot of these! I feel like I learned something 😊

As an attorney, I'm eager to give my info out to many of these people. I'd be a multimillionaire after finishing the cases here in these vids. It's so many federal law violations that I cant even keep up. Bug companies pull things like this because they think no one is watching or has the knowledge/power to duke it out in court. They have more resources, time, and money than the average customer so they think they can get away with anything. And boy do I have some news for them

10:35 Okay, erm, I just wanted to add on to that; as someone who works in retail, I took notice of this with beauty products. Not only do they create false bottoms, the containers are literally magnified glass, that is to say they trick you in to thinking there's far more product than there actually is in there. It's absolutely appalling. >.> Edit: Forgot to preemptively tell the bots to stay the fuck away. I really should be doing this more often for content creators with high subscriber counts since that's what the bots love to latch on to! Feels weirdly thematically appropriate for a video of this subreddit, now that I think about it! XD

Actually universities use turn-it-in which is extremely accurate and even if you don't use sources it can still be accidentally plagiarized. Intent has no affect on plagiarism whether you wanted to plagiarize or not you can still md up plagirizing

This video seems more informational because Lexie wants to be that one of the group that says " actually no in the us it's this way or that way"....LEXI DONT STOP BEING THAT MUCH OF A BADASS LOL.

4:50 also worth noting that they put the "Premium" plan in the middle, which would suggest it's between the "VIP" and "Super" plans in both price and functions, when in reality it's the most expensive plan.

Guess who's back back back Back again Lexi's back Tell a friend

Let me translate this:"give is your details for a free game where you don't seem to make purchases in." No, I don't think I will.

8 subreddit suggestions: Robin: -r/sbubby -r/KidsAre*******Stupid (doing this subreddit would be a good opportunity to add back Damien’s videos of it) Jack: -r/ComedyCemetery -r/garfieldminusgarfield -r/BreadStapledToTrees Lexi: -r/notlikeothergirls -r/Chadtopia -r/ofcoursethatsathing This is my 362nd day of doing this, hope they're all done soon.

Watching emkay in the hospital seeing if I have an appendix problem is great!

"If you enjoyed any of these images, no you didn't" XD Love ya Lexi

HI LEXI!!!! she always makes my days 1000 times better. thank you for being a wholesome trans icon :D

"Ah, yes, my favorite game, C A R " Had me dying 🤣 14:53

I recognize so many of these, mostly because they pop up on my grandma's computer and phone. Lexi's "This is to confuse older people," comment is nothing short of the truth, like... holy shit, Lexi.

2:20 "Why can't I get rid of this NFL mobile".. while showing the popup with the Disable button.. which is essentially "uninstall" for stock/carrier installed apps.

The more I see stuff about scamy tricks to make people pay for less product than they think they're getting (especially food), the more grateful I am with have laws against that type of crap to protect customers, and not companies, here in Europe...

LEXI SHES BACK! THE CHAOS QUEEN! lol here's how I label the crew Robin:funny tall man with anger Jack: chaotically funny Lexi: chaos Queen Am I wrong?

0:06 I feel the pain as an f2p literally waited for another day 🗿

The Laschet Baerbock thing is about the election for the next chancellor. They were the three candidates and it is really stupid that they made her look worse than she was.

Everytime I hear Lexi say "whats up sexy, im Lexi" it makes me smile and I feel as Beautiful as her

Fun fact: Lexi is the best narrator on Emkay

When I enrolled in uni, my high school made me pay $50 so they would send my official transcript to my uni.

7:30 I used to play that on my Amazon fire tab when I was little, and it was free without ads Ah the good ol days, before you had to give people money for literally everything Used to be good but I can't even play the first games I ever played

This is one of the subreddits that has made me lose hope for humanity

Lexi is the perfect person to host r/assholedesigns because of her knowledge of I.T.

Wait, isn't messing with mail considered on federal crime level like everywhere, how in the name of anything is Yahoo looping around the law so hard?

5:25 "What We Know So Far" Absolutely nothing

The scariest thing in the world is making in game purchase, it's so scary that i shiver even if its irl

Fun fact: everyone goes to the comment section as fast as they can but they know they aren't first

Regarding the ad checkpoints that used to appear... Well, for starters, that's what the invisible ads post was referring to (surprise surprise), but that isn't all. They aren't on the PC version either. For the longest time, they've just been invisible, replaced with a stupid countdown on the side warning you when an ad was going to pop up. Unless it was one of those ones that comes up on the bottom of the screen, then they have no warnings at all, and just pop up whenever they please.

I once got hit with a plagiarism notification when attending a university. The software said one of my carefully formatted citations was plagiarized along with parts of extremely common phrases that were part of various sentences. Were talking like three or four words in a row that are part of commonly used phrases. I immediately reached out to the prof and expressed my displeasure. Oh, and get this. This was a religious school that was actually hoping that everyone would regurgitate the exact same theological and philosophical positions for the rest of their lives.

As far as KZfaq ads goes, I’ve seen some ‘5 second’ ads be 8 seconds long and the countdown splits the 8 second ad into fifths to make it seem like 5 seconds.

If only creators were able to choose when the ads would appear on their videos. it would be great, and probably most of them would pick the ending of the video for the ads

I got McAfee because I'm like, "I have a new laptop, I never had to get an antivirus before, and I know this name." And then it took like 2 months to remove off of my computer. It installs a bunch of hidden files, all over the place, that continuously run, slowing the computer down, and you have to manually go and find them and uninstall each one. It was a nightmare and a half. If you ever get McAfee, immediately factory reset the computer. It is damaged beyond repair.

God, I almost had the same thing happen to me too with the parcel scam texts. I started picking up that some times they’ll use your phone number as the “tracking number” too

7:47 I got an ad right after this sentence

Ya, the U2 thing was the final straw that made me say F it I'm not touching another apple product again in my life

2:16 "I don't sportsball at all." I will be lifting this convenience phrase. Since I'll likely forget where I got it, I just want to thank you now, Lexi.

1:54 in order to get our degrees from uni on our final paper, it had to pass through an automatic plagiarism check. If the percentage of "detected plagiarism" was higher than 4%, you were put under investigation. Mine came out at slightly above 3%, but I know the reason for it. I was writing my paper on a video game series, and the constant mentions in the text of the game's name and the names of the DLC in the very specific order of oldest to newest, separated by commas, caused big chunks of my text to be seen as plagiarism by the system. This was because many game wiki websites often list them in that specific order. I'm just happy the percentage wasn't higher x)

15:23 *laughs in computer*

Things like this made me sad. Mobile games used to be things like Worl of Goo and the original Angry Birds and PvZ, fun and long lasting games that yes, had an initial cost, but pretty much nothing else. Atleast I found Stick rangers for when I dont have internet. That game is like a relic of an ancient, simpler, era. Free to play? Yes. Has Adds? yeah, but you can turn off Wifi and it doesnt come up with any bullshit, and they arent really intrusive, they only stop the game when you finish a level and it is not even guaranteed. Wanna turn them off? Sure, watch an add for 6 addless hours. And the game itself? Very neat and surprisingly deep RPG auto battler. They even have a help button for things like what does each stat do to each class and things like that. If only modern games where like that. Hell, they even have a New+ kind of thing

It’s been said before but fake money is a spectacular way to drive customers away from your business. I wish I could be there to see what went through people’s minds to make them think that fake money would be a good advertising tactic

13:03 be honest, I rarely get even 10% tip on most orders

“Mech Arena’s in game purchase task is bad” War robots: gonna pretend I didn’t see that

Whenever I watch a rerun on Twitch (I don’t use twitch for the livestreams, I watch the vods after) and every single time, there are like 6 30-second unskippable ads that play every 10 minutes. It’s honestly so frustrating but thankfully I have the patience. I see people complain about KZfaq ads all the time but I actually think they’re super short.

First, not only does Yahoo Mail still exist, my mom refuses to stop using it. Second, The fake money thing is also something a lot of religious groups do. I once shouted down a woman at a local farmer's market that was handing religious propaganda disguised as money out to kids when their parents weren't looking.

On the topic of mobile game ads, I found an advertisement when I played a random mobile game for a few days, that was 100% unclosable. There was no x, and hitting the back buttons did nothing. I tried to close it for about 5 minutes, and just reopened the app to get rid of it. It happened once more, and was exactly the same. So yeah, I found a genuinely unclosable ad (aside from restarting the app)

11:22 back then you were able to see when ads will pop up and there was a great trick to not see those ads. That trick was especially useful on asmr videos, you just skip a bit over the yellow dot over every yellow dot and the ads wouldn't show anymore, KZfaq probably found out about that and that's why they are missing now. Which is sad because now i often get woken up when watching asmr videos.

7:15 Luckily also illegal ins some countries.

9:29 it takes a special kind of evil corporate micro c*** to demand money to play a FREE game on windows

You can actually sue companies who tries to hide or disable the unsubscribe button because it is illegal.

2:52 No, you were right the first time. Science behind paywalls. "Knowledge should be free for all." *(H.F. Mudd)*

Oh my gosh it's so nice to hear Lexi again! Missed your voice!

Emkay is one of the only channels I don't use an adblocker for on KZfaq, because the people are funny and care a lot about their viewers. They deserve support, and I would genuinely sit through 8 ads for your videos for you guys to get money from it.

On the game I play, I keep getting these Wordscapes ads. What they do is they either hide the X in a snowy treeline in the background or have the demo game be twice as long as the video ad you already have to watch.

Thank you Lexi for the info about the email permission! If you could do a video on such things it would be a godsend!

Wait did the EmKay narratress? LexiKitty just say that nothing she says is funny enough to sit through 3 unskippable ads? I beg to differ. In fact I would say that about all the Narrators and Editors of this chanel. Watching these videos and listening to them often times make my day. Thank you all of the people in EmKay for bringing us such awesome videos. Now I stop with the mushy stuff and go beack to just normal behaviour.....no not normal youtube behaviour I am not a troll.

7:38 WOW Disney is putting ads in a game movie and other online paid services, honestly I expect nothing less from Disney that night Carnival at Epcot ain't gonna pay for itself, well it is because Disney world raises their prices for admission annually, but "F*** U, pay me"

KZfaq: * won't play videos when I'm using other apps * Me: * uses my phone's split screen function * KZfaq: Hol up

1:27 yes yes, that's definitely how to make anybody give you their data, not suspicious or anything haha

“What’s up sexy! I’m Robin!” “What’s poppin! I’m Lexi!”

1:37 "Play something better" *Proceeds to show league*

I can’t be the only one who gets excited when Lexi narrates just because of how pretty her voice is

Fun fact: “McAfee” is usually pronounced “Mack-Uh-Fee”

I REALLY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS LEXI!!

For the first one- The game is Mech Arena and you don't need to complete it. There's about 5 of "Share this game with a friend" tasks and 1 make 1 ingame purchase. There's 6 extra things you can do that you could still complete the mission (get an Arachnos mech)

9:50 Blue Buffalo was the company who made animal food. But they basically didn't care for production at all and led to multiple fatal animal poisoning. Basically pet murderers aka Peta 2.0

13:17 Those are the Chancellors to be voted on. Big deal!

13:26 no, they know how to graph, they just dont like her

8:39 - Hey, that's actually my area code!

I've found like too many of those fake money ads, one of them was of like a 100 euro bill, then you flipped it and there was the ad. Got extremely excited as a kid, will never forget

The mech arena one isn’t that bad, cause you can get the rewards even without completing that quest

5:17:- that's the Xbox Live store. To make it worse, Microsoft has no "cool off" period. So if you buy a game from the Live store on PC and your PC can't run it, you're going to have a bad time.

HOLD UP WHEN THE HELL DID WE NEED TO PAY MONEY TO GET "Where's My Water"!?!!?

Fun fact: if you want a science article/publication and there’s a paywall just email whoever wrote it and most of the time they will send it you

0:01 I literally played that game and stopped because of THIS ANNOYING THING

Everything in this video upset and infuriated me. Plus I believe cribbing content without alteration from Reddit is ridiculous. But.. I'm always so entertained by Lexi's presentation and commentary that it's an overall enjoyable and fun experience. Thanks! Keep up the good work!

I feel like Lexi underestimated herself on that last one

Those fake money ads are really common on Brazil, every time I'm walking on the streets I always see one of those on the ground and when I pick it up boom it's fake money

Episode 13 of me reminding people that Lexi is a trans woman and her pronouns deserve to be respected

11:22 It's the mobile version, it's never had the ad markers

One time I was on the bus, listening to Spotify. And an ad came on, was annoyed, but you know, it shouls be over after the 3rd or 4th. Then it went on to play me, and I counted, TEN, conssecurive ads in a row. That's the most ads I've gotten on any platform, ever.

8:30 I THOUGHT THIS WAS A GLITCH ON MY LAPTOP YOU'RE TELLING ME THEY DID THIS ON PURPOSE?

Wait, Lexi was a master in law and IT at the same time? Does this make her a cyber security genius? I don't know but Lexi seems to know a lot about what is and isn't legal when it comes to money, apps, and emails. She may be the one who can save the future of technology.

Lexi, I have Microsoft Solitare. I have loved Solitare since before computers were a common personal thing. Honestly since before computers wee affordable. I got it because of that, I still carry a deck of cards with me as well. I think the only thing premium really gets you is a few collections of card backs and maybe some special backgrounds. Its completely playable without ever buying anything. Those boxes at the top just let you chose a random deal for the type of solitare you choose. The daily challenge, star challenge, and the other one are just that, decks set up as a challenge. I'm pretty sure I have ADD too, I usually play while listening to a podcast, story or music. Sometimes while waiting for a meal to arrive while out and about. I do also play their Sudoku Sudoku and mah jong games, their just as playable without ever buying anything and all three don't really have much in the way of ads, though they do occasionally pop up between games.

8:57 - 9:29 I play that often, and its actually still playable without premium. The ads are pretty easy to ignore if you have youtube or something open in another window

Me, a Colombian, seeing the thumbnail: * anger in spanish *
