Q Talk

[stevieb]

@bluetail fly  I agree with you, annoying, distracting and unnecessary. Skype and Zoom have their place. This is not it. Let the hosts sell the products without zipping back and forth to a vendor whose image and sound is often not the best and who almost always takes up too much room on the screen that might better be allocated featuring the actual product.

Even pre-Coronavirus, most of the vendors/brand ambassorder do not add anything special or extra to the presentations.

Bingo... If presentations were shorter and to the point and more products were featured, they wouldn't need so many talking heads...

Sometimes when enough people speak up that is how things get changed.

Ironic to come on here and find this topic.  I just finished using Skype to chat to my friend in England.

Go back to the "good ole days", with no digital cell phones, no technology.  A simpler time?

He!! no!  Nothing like the "good ole days" when, if you broke down in your car driving alone at night, you had to hope someone safe would stop to help.  Or get out and walk for heaven knows how far to get help yourself.  Stay in your car and only open the window, if a police car arrived?

Or waiting days or weeks for a letter to arrive.  Only being able to shop at the local stores and pay whatever prices they charged.  No real choice, take it or leave it.  Ah, yes, there were catalogs.  They were fun to look through.

No thanks.  I'll take modern technology over the "good ole days" any time.  (And I like my TV in HD color!)

I understand some people's frustration with the vendors skyping in, but it's a small price to pay for all that technology offers us.

So why complain about something that's not about to change soon, if ever?  Complaining is a waste of energy.  Instead focus on something you can change.

So now there is a law against complaining. Give me a break.

@RetRN   @Imtep  You don't agree this is a healthy, productive outlook?

I so agree with you! 

I may be a wee bit younger, at 48, than some of the posters, but, I can't imagine wanting to go back, to the so called, "good old days" 

Not only, has technology made our lives so much easier,in many ways, think of all the lives, it's also saved, with advances, in all fields of medicine.  

We can simply not watch a show, if it's annoying.  A whole lot easier, than going backwards!

I have no issues with Skyping and Zooming in every day life.  I also love good efficient technology.  However, not everything translates well into QVC programming.  Generally the transmissions are terrible. 

Shorten the presentations and let the hosts handle it until  the Q can get it right.

Even before all the Skyping and Zooming, I didn't understand why so many vendors were required to assist the hosts.  The QVC hosts should be able to present the products by themselves -- of course, I'm assuming the hosts actually take the time to learn and use all the products prior to presenting them (ahem...).   To me, all the Zooming is a turn-off.  I know QVC feels it's necessary, but it drives me crazy and I change the channel so fast!
