What a godawful response. They really need to stop falling back on the "social media is amazeballs xoxoxo" crap when we get barely any ****ing updates from it.

And just LOL at "the world has moved on since the early years of the show". So, live feed was only an important aspect in the "early years"? How is that?

I can deal without live feed, it's these insulting excuses they pull out that royally piss me off.

They can't really use that excuse as they've now proper cut the amount of YouTube videos going up, I know that's not really social media but it's all internet n stuff, we used to have 4 or 5 updates a day now just a couple a week
And the website and app rarely work smoothly

TBH, I'm glad we don't have live feed. Lets be real here, who'd want to watch more than an hour of BB15 and BB16 a day anyway?

Live Feed for CBB, please tho?

I said please.

This to me sums up one of the main problems with the show right now- the powers that be just don't seem to care about, or respect the fans. Whenever we ask questions about things like live feed or complain, they disregard us and give us bullsh*t excuses rather than be honest about why they make these decisions. There are two reasons for the lack of live feed in my opinion, and these are the cost, and the fact that they want complete control over what they output in order to put focus on the storylines they want people to focus on e.g. potential 'romances' or feuds between two housemates (Perez vs Katie, Ashleigh vs Helen etc). And this is why their viewing figures are bombing.

It just shows how out of touch with the fans and how out of touch they are with the show. Axe it tbh I don't even care for it anymore.

How much does it actually cost to run live feed?

If they could manage it in 2013, why can't they now? Surely they'd have more money now, given the success of the Celebrity version and all that

It would be a fair point if they actually used social media to its fullest... a few tweets/statuses and links to the crappy C5 website hardly "engage[s] directly with the programme's many fans".

Plus the app is hardly worth a mention. It's a ****ing website wrapper.

We believe this approach best reflects the habits and preferences of today's audiences.
Pretty much everyone is asking to Live Feed, Emma Willis asked for live feed, no one wants a vague 140 letter update every fifteen minutes, we want live feed

If it meant I got to see the housemates of BB15 underneath all the editing, I'd have watched the live feed.

bb13 live feed would of been amazing and the bits of live feed we saw in 14 were amazing and loads of the hilarious moments lost their humour on the hls because of the over editing.

Y'all should read the 'live feed axed' thread on DS. Turns out that letter that the person originally sent was a 65 page dossier.

They've actually updated the YT page, I don't think they did for BB16 when eye/ad was released.

Why have they stopped updating Youtube videos now?

It's been like that since CBB15. Before they used to upload video updates like every 10 minutes, now they upload a video every 4/5 days. Wtf is that about?
