Viking Andrew, while you do report that BVG is working with third party ad providers to "attempt" to fix whatever aspect of the ads BVG chooses to fix, it is an absolute shame to see SO MANY players STILL REPORTING they have ZERO ad functionality, ever since May 2024, when BVG chose to (apparently?) upgrade/change the entire ad platform. As you can see, for many players in different demographics, there has been ZERO resolve, ever since! I've read some of the feedback and it is inexcusable that SO MANY are experiencing ZERO ad functionality to date.

Here's a thought :?: why not design the Ads platform (all player benefits, for that matter) to function on the same foundational basis as those platforms where BVG collects player payments (for goods or currency). PAYMENTS TO BVG RARELY FAIL! This general principle may sound over-simplified, however why not start with a foundational platform that does indeed consistently function, doesn't tend to fail alongside other feature changes/upgrades, and has a strong history of consistently seamless function, and go from there? It doesn't escape our notice that all too often, each time BVG attempts to change (improve?) in-game features, they tend to magnify/exasperate problems/issues instead, then rarely return to "effectively" repair that which BVG broke down. PLEASE DO SOME-thing to help so many players here who are still awaiting to benefit from SOME ad income, given that NO OTHER "EQUITABLE" source of income exists in this game!

Having said all that ... By way of some ads function feedback for you: For some of the North-American population where ads functionality resumed (for the most part), I find it interesting that yes, while ads are loading a little more consistently, and takes less time to run through the daily quota, PLEASE NOTE that in the most recent "fix," ads HAVE SINCE FAILED to load/function via the FACEBOOK platform; ads ONLY LOAD/RUN on YoWorld.com website. If that was BVG's intention, that was one VERY BAD move! Please REVERT to enabling ads to load, run and payout ON BOTH game platforms, so that there is back-up for said features to operate, when one platform/site fails over the other. Thank you, in advance ...

ADpocalypse Day #77: 77 days without a single ad.

I've tried everything I could think of, as well as other people's suggestions. No ads, no coins, and no YC, forcing me to spend more money if I want to keep up with the new releases. Well played, BVG. I think it's pretty obvious by now that this issue won't be solved, and it will end up swept under the rug—right next to the broken paintboards, selfies, and YoShow. Now, if it were the casino, it would get fixed the same day. :quiet:

I don't know about running and traveling Around the World in 80 days* but...
what about fixing the Ads for every Yoplayer around the World, right now ? :?:

And :star: some $ Compensation $ :star: would be more than welcome during this :drink: Holiday Season ! :drink: :gift:

Regards,


*80 days without Ads, coins and cash becoming unpleasant, so unfair, unbearable and the game becomes unplayable for us.

Ads were working for me on the desktop app for about a month, but recently it's gone downhill. Keep getting a message that there is no available ad, please try again later. After about 5 to 10 tries (sometimes more) an ad will appear. It takes about 30 minutes to earn 1 YC. But I'm glad to say purchasing YC always works on the first try and with quick response time.

It got better briefly but now worse again. "No ads available" click after click.

The downfall of the ads began on October 10, 2024 when BVG switched over to this new ad provider! But why did they when the old ad system functioned very well and worked for the majority of the player's? Money that's why! As the old saying goes, if it ain't broke don't fix it and the old ad system wasn't broke, but they fixed it anyway! The new ad system functions to some degree, but only for some player's and they still don't work for a whole lot of the player's!
Also double coins always started at 10 am on Sunday's, then when the clocks changed it went to 11am and now it's 12pm, however today no matter how many times I clicked that TV I got that "No Ads Available" message each and every time! I seriously do not have time for all the BS, as my personal time is important just like anyone else's is!
It's been almost 3 months since the change over to this new ad provider and I don't have much faith this ad provider can or will get the ads functioning at 100% like the old ad system did and for 100% of the player's!

I am tired of seeing this message pop-up!

It is a priority. Unfortunately, we are very much reliant on working with a third-party company to resolve this, as they provide the ads. We are still very much working on determining why some people aren't getting them.


I would like to know if you are actually doing something to fix this, instead of blaming "others" as usual?

I have had no video ads for two months, I have been patient, even though the situation for me has never been resolved after the three or four days that YOU said it would take for the videos to work for EVERYONE, and I have thanked with sincere gratitude for the 3,000,000 coins offered as compensation, but now that's enough:

all I see, day after day, month after month is that you are ABSOLUTELY NOT WORKING ON ANYTHING, two years of inventory updates never completed, a year without the mobile app, 6 months without paint boards, not to mention the miserable releases of items and "clothes" in the shops, (I won't say a word about your obsession with gambling) now the video ads and those ridiculous items placed in the visits/mystery chests :shocked:

I am about to celebrate my "sweet 16" yo birthday and I still earn the same miserable 900 coins as in 2008 by going to work in the factory..but everything, even the floor tiles in yodepot, have increased in price :wailing: :wailing:
what do you think, that we are all naive?
I really can't believe you don't notice that people have stopped playing, using auctions to buy, spending real money and many have cancelled their VIP subscriptions.

it's time for the things that are broken to be fixed once and for all, for you to take your blame without unloading it on others... (the mobile app is google's fault, the paint boards are some people's fault, inventory update you've been busy fixing something else - what exactly? I'd like to know, since I don't see any improvement in general-) and for YOU to STUDY new ways (possibly fun) to make us make money and return to having a functional and fun game.

you have in your hands a game that is unique in its genre, there is really nothing like Yo on the web and you are literally throwing it in the landfill.

1000% TRUTH! Well said Skull!

It's been over 3 months since the switch to this new ad provider! It was a rough start and then they worked better, but now it takes hours to watch them all, as I continuously get the No Ads Available message! I really don't have time for this BS, as I have important RL stuff to do too just like everyone else does! It's quite apparent they will never get fixed, as it's only getting worse and not better and reporting them doesn't do anything at all! The old ad system worked for the majority of the player's and they played inside the game not outside the game like these new ads do! It doesn't matter what browser I use, as it they have the same problems with the ads! Clearing my browser cache does not resolve the problems either! They need to be fixed so they play and pay every single time like the old ad system did!

This is getting old and moldy now!

I haven't been able to play ads for rewards since Oct. 10th. It is now January 14 - more than 3 months later. I'm beyond being 'understanding' and 'patient' because it is obvious that no one is really doing anything about it besides spewing nonsense and blaming others for BVG's CHOICES. (The entire issue is due to CHOICES BVG made and refuses to change.) The only thing to 'understand' is that somehow it is beneficial for BVG to DISADVANTAGE many players - and they are fine with the situation. A few meaningless 'apologies' do nothing to HELP.

BVG 'granted' those BVG has CHOSEN to disadvantage compensation twice: once a whole whopping $5 cash, and a second time for some coins (based on level.) That proves that BVG CAN compensate those affected, if BVG wanted to do so, but chooses not to do so or do what it takes to fix the problem so that every player is treated equally. If BVG thinks that I'm going to spend real money just to catch up to what some players are receiving for free with a few clicks - BVG needs to think again.

And what little new content is released (and often that isn't even ORIGINAL, just 'recolorized') is held hostage in gambling activities. I don't have money to throw away gambling (which includes the Gem Events, and I don't have the money to buy the things required to even have a CHANCE at winning cash with a perfect score) so the only option is to try to find things in the AH. But I don't have a way to earn the money to buy things there either. So whatever content that IS released is out of my reach. The only things I can buy these days are rugs, coffee/end/kitchen tables, and throw items...and those aren't enough to decorate spaces with. I don't even know why I continue to log in every day with the 'hope' that BVG will finally do right by players. 3 months of just saying they are 'trying' without results is teaching me that I'm stupid for 'hoping.'

PLEASE! We just ask that you fix the ads as soon as possible before more people leave yoworld as they depend on these ads to earn money to be able to buy things to decorate with. Not everyone can afford to buy yocash but love this game so much as there isn't another interactive game like this one that I am aware of on the internet. Not all members come to this forum so I am asking on behalf of all those as well as for the ones who have posted here. I don't want anymore of our yoworld family to leave the game. Please hear us. Thank you.
