Dislikes without Comments

Blog by Jason

As most of you know (or maybe you don’t so treat this as a shameless plug) we have a YouTube channel where we do different types of board game related videos. We do Kickstarter previews and reviews of small games that are looking for an audience. Everything that we do on our channel is done at no cost to the designers/publishers outside of a copy of the game we will use to preview/review. Since we do not charge for anything on our channel we are free to give our honest thoughts on how we feel about these games. Honesty and integrity is something that we strive for in everything we do at The Boardgame Mechanics. Sometimes when we post a video (that we put a lot of time and effort into) we immediately get a dislike from a viewer. This is fine as we want people to be honest about what they feel about our videos, however it would be super helpful for us to make our videos better if the dislike also came with a comment. This would let us know if the dislike is for our video or if it is for the game or a combination of the two. I know that this seems to be a petty gripe but in a world where people are able to hide behind the glow of a computer screen offering up comments as to why some likes/dislikes something makes it feel more like reality than the Matrix. Even though this is a small gripe of ours we still appreciate all of you watching our videos. The sheer fact that you would give us 20 minutes of your time to see what we think about a game means a lot. Like or dislike if you wish just keep gaming!
