He personally said this around 1:40.
He also said that if he would pick 1 out of 100 people that will defeat him in deathmatch, he would choose Yurisa.
I feel like Yurisa is really underrated. Excited for TDP3, i hope they meet again in a deathmatch game on final episodes.
I work in a marketing agency handling multiple clients that runs Google Ads. I handle about 15 clients ranging from 4 to 10 hours allocated monthly depending on how they big they are. Sometimes, I wonder if Im just too slow, or am I just bad at my job because I feel pressured and I feel like I don't have enough time. I do produce good results and im having good feedback but i find myself working like a dog to achieve these expectations. Is this normal?
I honestly think the biggest reason Bloody Game X is worse than the previous seasons is the change in production team. The previous PD left to make another show with Jang Dong-min, and the new PD came in seemingly clueless about what actually made Bloody Game work. She basically recycled ideas from the previous seasons, brought back previous participants, and somehow approved what I think is easily the worst set of games we've had across all the seasons.
I know everyone is disappointed that Jihoo won, but I don't think Jihoo himself is entirely to blame. Sure, he acted cocky, came across as a hypocrite at times, and showed a ridiculous amount of confidence without always having the skills to back it up. But that's just who he is. The bigger problem is the format and the games that allowed this outcome to happen.
Both the Rookies and Challengers kept sacrificing themselves to push Jihoo further because they found him cute, liked him, and saw him as the youngest guy on the show. Fine. But even with that happening, the finals could still have been exciting if the strongest players actually had a fair chance of surviving.
Taegyun and Xitsuh were eliminated because of LUCK. Way too many of the main matches and death matches relied heavily on luck rather than actual skill. Jihoo even managed to win the mafia game despite being sooo bad at it.
People watch shows like Bloody Game because they want to see deserving players fight their way to the end. And by "deserving," I mean players who are smart, skilled, adaptable, and capable of actually winning these 1v1 situations. Taegyun and Xitsuh were the prime examples of that this season. Jang Dong-min is probably the only person who could consistently survive until the finals even with this many luck-based games, but he's a completely different beast.
Imagine if Taegyun and Xitsuh had reached the finals alongside Jihoo, and Jihoo actually beat both of them. Would people still be disappointed that Jihoo won? Of course not. At that point, he would have genuinely earned the win, and people would congratulate him regardless of whether they liked his attitude.
But do you seriously think Jihoo would've beaten Taegyun or Xitsuh in the finals? No way in hell. Especially Taegyun.
And here's another thing I don't understand: if production already knew Jihoo won, why the hell did they edit him like the villain of the season? What the freak was that editing? You're literally in post-production. You already know who wins the entire show. At least make your winner somewhat likeable or give the audience something that makes them want to root for him. Isn't that one of the whole points of editing a reality show? Instead, they gave us a winner that a huge portion of the audience didn't want to see win and then spent the season giving people even more reasons to dislike him.
I'm genuinely pissed that Jeon Chae-young PD was handed the keys to Bloody Game. In my opinion, she completely ruined what made this series special. She even said she took inspiration from Spider-Man: No Way Home for Bloody Game X. Like... what??? How does that even make sense?
And I genuinely don't understand how such a young and inexperienced PD ended up being put in charge of a show like Bloody Game. Pretty privilege? Connections? I don't know, but I'm baffled by the decision.
I really hope Hyun Jung-wan, the previous Bloody Game producer, and whatever he's making with Jang Dong-min can bring back what made these shows exciting. Same with JJY-PD and The Devil's Plan.
Hi there. Im running a ecommerce business and been selling well with Google Ads.
Last month, i got my highest conv. value result throughout the year. I got my bidding strategy set to tROAS 900%.
Because Google notified us about the August 17 update, we followed their recommendation of increasing the tROAS to 1100% (recent actual tROAS).
After a week or two, i noticed I was spending less budget than my allocated one, thus giving me less conv. value. I recently changed it back to 900%, hoping to recover this month's sales to match the las month.
The problem is im down 20% on sales, as well as the ad spend. I just want to get the highest possible sales with my current alloted daily budget. Should I decrease the tROAS more or will that result on lower conv. value?
I've worked with b2b clients the whole time, mostly dealing with Search, Display, and PMax.
Recently, ive been tasked to handle a running ecommerce client with a shopping campaign. The way you approach its optimisation is so different than when you are running a Search campaign which confuses me a lot.
For Search, i focus on keyword, ad copies, & settings depending on budget or type of business. I track conversions, review search terms, look at different kinds of data to optimise the campaign and to ultimately make the most of the budget.
For shopping, I know that I have to:
- Regularly check on the merchant center products and resolve errors
- Create a proper ad group structure to track product performance per category
- Optimise title, descriptions, GTIN, etc.
- Add negative keywords regularly based on STR
But, the thing that confuses me is you don't do most of these in Google Ads itself. Resolving errors on merchant center can usually be solved by tinkering with Shopify or whatever is handing the webstore. But is that really my job? Do I connect to the client to fix everything? What if there's 500 errors? For optimising the products' title, descriptions, etc. should I go one by one and recommend the change to the client? What if there's many kinds of categories in where one title formula wouldn't cover it all?
For lead gen, I can make the decisions myself and optimise the account my way. But I just don't get how to do the same for shopping campaigns? It feels like I don't even have the control?
Since your ads performance matter more than Ad Strength, do you just completely ignore it?
Writing 15 headlines sometimes can get messy especially if you're not pinning them. Is it better to just write five good headlines, or is it still better to force yourself to write 15 headlines and pin each of them in a different position?
The same question for descriptions and site links. You're probably leaning on a description and site link that will most likely convert. Do you just write those, or still follow Google Ads' recommended number?
Hi, I was tasked of "fixing" two google ads campaign for local B2B services. One was for tree services and one is for septic tank install.
The account owner before was using broad matches and wasting the small $40 daily budget on potential low quality leads. Can anyone tell me if what Im doing is right:
Can anyone confirm if Im doing this correctly? Thank you.
This was the episode where they did the Onigoe Tomahawk prank part 2. I swear it was subbed before, but now I couldn't find it anywhere.
Hi, I'm a digital marketing specialist intern, and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about Google Ads. I've done a lot of research, taken some courses, and watched plenty of YouTube videos, but I'm still unclear about what to use in different situations.
Our company generally handles local businesses, and a lot of them have very small daily budgets (not in the US).
Initially, I tried going with phrase match. One client benefited from it, although they had a moderate budget. Another client did not, and what's worse is that a lot of the search terms are being hidden under "Other Search Terms" in the Search Terms Report.
From my limited experience, broad match seems to include competitor brands in the search terms more often, while phrase match doesn't seem to do that as much. I've generally been using phrase match for keywords such as "tree trimming service," but I rarely use broad match or exact match.
I've noticed, though, that I can sometimes get more clicks with broad match because of the lower CPC, but I'm not sure if it's actually worth it.
Google Ads seems to change every year, and it's honestly confusing trying to figure out which advice is still relevant.
Does anyone have some general rules or guidelines for when to use Broad, Phrase, and Exact Match?
For example:
- New accounts vs. older accounts
- With or without conversion data
- Low vs. moderate budgets
- Smart Bidding vs. Manual CPC
I'd really appreciate hearing how more experienced Google Ads marketers approach this today.
Is it just me? I think the handover to Jeon Chae-young as PD and Director really damaged the brand.
I feel like if this season didn't have a well-known cast, it's bound to fail one way or another.
In my opinion, if they wanted to make it an individual match, they should've given each player an opportunity to survive on the same physical and mental condition. A lot of filler players remains because of luck. Especially those who are saying "Let's team up and let A player fight with B player on the deathmatch so we can have a chance to win". I don't think a single soul would want unskilled players to win because they are lucky and playing cowardly.
Furthermore, I think JDM playing on the last season might have raised the bar too high. Most of the main matches last season, if not all, were all dopamine inducing because of how good JDM was playing. There were also a lot of twists and hype moments that got everyone hooked in.
This season there's some good and exciting plays here and there, but it feels lackluster compared to before. Especially now that a lot of bad players remain, things will quickly plummet. Even the one thing that makes this season shine, the comedic banter between two certain contestants, is now gone.
I bet this is probably the end of Bloody Game franchise. I hope we can get more survival games from JJY (TG, TDP, etc.), Hyun Jung-wan (Original BG series PD), Time Hotel PD.
Now I'm just waiting for TDP 3 and I hope it can be the best season of the series.
I'm stupid and I didn't realize until now when I carefully read through the appointment paper. I have my own car, but I couldn't legally drive it without a supervisor. I can also just drive to vtnz tomorrow but I'm afraid they might ask who am I with.
Should I just try to reschedule and prepare first, even though it will cost me 60 bucks? I was just too busy this week to even think about my driving exam.
