I don't mind in video sponsor spots because at least the creators are being paid directly for those. Personally, I just skip em or if it's a creator that makes them funny, I may just listen anyway.
Those sponsor spots absolutely blow my mind. They're there, forever in the video no matter how times it's viewed. That's a lot of trust to have in an advertising relationship, both the creator (who is basically tattooing a person in a portrait they're painting with an ad) and company have to determine if it's enough compensation based on..... feels I guess lol. I'm pretty sure there is some after data but how do you know which videos take off or not? Then if there's any controversy, whole things a mess and I hope they get a lot for it.
Yeah I often think the same.
I don't like these segments because they are either unavailable in my region or they are a promotion of a shitty product like Op**a **, that later will get called out for being from a terrible company.
