Yep, I was on there last night and the usual suspects were being called out.  Same on Instagram.  But curiously those comments don't get taken to task by a moderator.

I don't have anything against salespeople either, including on shopping channels. I think some take this way too seriously, getting so irritated by hosts and their shows. Why let it bother you?  There's only one host that I don't watch and even then I don't get that annoyed when she's on. I just don't watch and usually look up items recently aired & shop that way. Don't understand people getting so bent outta shape over a Q host or any salesperson.

I don't like car salesmen, or insurance salespeople.  Real estate salespeople I can tolerate but if they don't let up over a house or apartment I don't like then I will react.  Store salespeople don't bother me unless it's the make up counter people then I get a little antsy.

TV salespeople only bother me if they get frantic, and or pretentious, loud, fast talk or don't give pertinent information because they are too busy "entertaining".  At which point I change the channel and buy zero.

@Northray  I'm with you there!  Car and insurance salesmen are the worst.

If people are posting complaints on the forums and also on Facebook and have been doing so for years, it is apparent they are still still watching QVC and the hosts they don't care for.  

It's like a train wreck.  It bothers them, but they can't turn away.

QVC is trying to get people to watch.  They use entertainment, podcasts, hosts acting silly, etc. and it must be working.  People are still watching, some binge watching.  So, their strategy seems to be working.

The more you watch, the more tempted you are to buy something.  Also, the high prices start to seem normal after a while and easy pay is available.

They know what they're doing.

Years ago, the hosts used to wear costumes and the stage was set up for jewelry days...Irish dancers were brought in for St Pat's day....all entertainment.  It's just a different type now.

QVC is a business.  Their #1 purpose is to sell, sell, sell and make money.  They are not friends, nor do they care about customers.  They care about $$$.  

Sales are still coming in....the two hosts that people complain about must be high earners.  They always work prime time and they have been there for years.

Nothing is going to change.  People who are bothered should just try not to binge watch.  They are driving themselves crazy.

Some hosts are like the shock jocks in radio.  People tune in to see and hear them thinking they might do something outrageous.

People are being manipulated and they are falling for it.

It's like going into battle, lol.  Oh also the eye glass sales guy at my eye doctor is unrelenting, 

Him: you should get scratch resistant....

Me: no thanks.  

Him: You really need to....

Me:  Im good.

Gives me a disapproving look.  

Him:  You should also have night vision protection.  

Me: Just plain glasses please.  

Shakes his head, "it's for your own good!"

Me: I just want to see.

I guarandamtee you, the ugly remarks would not be said in person to the hosts. The anonymity of online posting encourages hatefulness in those ppl who already possess that trait.

@smoochy.  Ha!  I'd consider it a joy and a pleasure to tell one certain host what I think of her, IN PERSON!

now now. I know you wouldn't really do that. You're a big talker with a kind heart 🥰😉

Recently traded in my car for new one, and the salesman of course wouldn't give me what I wanted for a trade-in as there was "too much hail damage".  Ugh!  There were maybe two dings on the roof of the car.

I don't watch live presentations because all I want is product info. Once in a while I might look at a video on the description page. To see product details more closely. Often I mute the vids. Just get too annoyed with host talk. This works for me.

@10sluvr   It is possible that there are many more people who want to hear about family and other personal info.

No matter what QVC does, not everyone will be happy.

It is what it is and I don't see it changing.  There seems to be a host or two for every preference.

i agree with most of what you said. I think family and personnel anecdotes should be a newsletter,  pod cast or blog. i'm ok with a passing mention, but not the drawn out comment.

@Northray. QVC owns this forum but They don't own Instagram so can't edit posts there.
