Youtubers who don't have sponsors are way better than ones that always have them. amirite?

So... it's not the quality of the video that's the issue. But you have issue with a designated part where they talk about the sponsorship?

Yes, larger companies are extremely uncommon in sponsorship segments and I would prefer them better if they were regularly used.

Like what company? I highly prefer smaller companies I don't know about rather than the 50th manscaped or even worse even bigger companies I already see about.

At least for me, the "raaaaaiiiiiiid, shadow legends" spots have gone down significantly. As have purple mattress. Now I just gotta find a way to avoid the manscaped and doctor squatch ads. I intentionally avoid those products out of spite

I'll take a direct sponsor over YouTube ads any day, at least you can always skip past them, even better if the creator puts a timestamp to skip it.

Also the Creator gets a say which products they get to advertise instead of leaving it up to YouTube to pair them with a product they may not agree with.

YouTube "partner" here.. uh what? Lol Not once has yt asked me to select or deselect sponsors. It's simply monetize or not. We don't pick the ads that roll.

I would accept them if they were from larger companies (or anything close to that), most of the ones are from smaller companies that I don't exactly have much interest in.

you're specifically upset that they aren't sponsored by massive companies?

What a weird take when smaller businesses are usually (big usually) better than much bigger companies and supporting small businesses is how we keep the big bois from taking advantage where ever they can for more $$$ lol

To add to ops opinion i think YouTube was more entertaining than when being a YouTuber as a career wasnt as common and people were just making videos for the hell of it

>They make zero off add revenue. That's not true, most creators make a significant portion of their income from ad revenue and some even almost all. It is true that a lot of big creators wouldn't be able to make videos as good or frequently as they currently do without sponsors, but for most people it's definitely not their only source of income.

I don't really mind if a YouTuber had an AD read in a part of their video, it's super easy to skip and it's kinda wholesome to know that a YouTuber I like (especially if they are small!) is getting some money for their hard work!

by Anonymous 11 months ago

I'd prefer it if I didn't have to pay to eat at a restaurant or to own a vehicle. Can't they just make money some other way?

by Anonymous 11 months ago

Sure I would also prefer to not watch an ads or hear about sponsors, but saying that the people who don't take sponsors makes no sense. Can you provide any real argument as to why a YouTuber who rejects sponsors actively is better than a youtuber that works with sponsors?

I just wish they had a sponsor other than that one particular mobile game that I am super sick of hearing about.

Lol I just reference this one, I think it's called June's adventures or something like that.

No, I don't mind if they have their sponsorships. I do skip over them. Sometimes though I just get a giggle over them slinging or Schilling the same products. Function of beauty? Pass. Junes adventures or whatever that game is called? Pass. Hello fresh? I didn't pass on that one but Whatever.

I actually prefer sponsors in videos. Because if they have that, they often don't have youtube ads before or during the video. And, good creators will put a small bar or some kind of indicator on the screen so you know how long it is, and can just skip ahead quick.

I'm okay with sponsors if either the product itself is good or if it's reasonable to assume the YouTuber doesn't have the expertise to tell the product is bad. That being said: If you're a musician or audio expert of some kind and promote the RanCans you lost all credibility in my eyes. I know that you should know better.

Raycons are bad? TIL. I always operated under the assumption they were high quality.

While I get why this is your preference, I really don't understand it. I'd much rather have a skippable sponsor section and know that the youtuber is getting paid for it properly than an skippable rubbish ad. Some people make the sponsors pretty fun. Gibi asmr does then amazingly, very relaxing. Fred's Voice puts his own little actedd videos together that are actually surprisingly entertaining so I never feel like skipping them.

Ill take the sponsor that ill skip over the vid rather than the unskippable 30 sec ad before the vid starts

by Anonymous 11 months ago

I only have a problem with sponsorships where it's literally just the person advertising a product that they never use (basically JUST selling the product). If anyone is going to have sponsors, those sponsors should come from things tgat the person/people involved will actually use so there's more truth to the ad reads (like for me, such sponsorships would come from companies like Fred Meyer, A&W, and most notably, Papa Murphy's).

by Anonymous 11 months ago

Sponsored segments arent even bad, as soon as you hear a typical bridge segment that leads to sponsor scripts you can just smash the skip forward button 5-10 times and its over

I disagree with you but I have also seen different youtubers incorporate ads with different levels of success. I think @RyanGeorge has the best ads and I watch them even though they are at the end of his videos.

It's what makes being a YouTuber viable.

by Anonymous 11 months ago

It depends how it is done. Some will show on the time bar when it's over so it's easy to skip while no missing any part of the actual video like Zwellik and Veretasium, some put it after the video is over like Alternative History Hub and game theory, but I'd it is clear about when the ads starts and ends and it's easy to not watch it's ok with me. It becomes detrimental to the video if you have to spend time skipping an ad manually, but I'm ok with just 1 click or a ad playing after the video while I look for another

by Anonymous 11 months ago

Well yes that's obvious. But creators gotta eat so I'm okay with it.

Agreed, especially with automotive youtubers. Especially the ones that are sponsered but don't ram it down your throat or used those products before sponsorship.

I dunno, there are some good youtubers with sponsors. Micarah Tewers, for example. But I see what you're saying. Being able to be free of pushing some product makes people more creative and able to speak more freely.

Flashgitz does sponsorship incredibly well. It's funny to watch and entertaining. It doesn't matter if you're interested in sponsorship or not. If you like your creator well enough, you could watch it and, if your wallet allows it, help them out. All I want is product quality and consistency remain same or get better. No one is forcing you to do anything.

If patreon and ad revenue didn't exist I'd disagree with you OP but since they do I'm inclined to agree. I doubt sponsorships are make or break for a lot of YouTubers, anyway. It's probably just extra cash that's nice to have. if you're successful enough in your YouTube career where you're getting sponsorships, you probably don't actually need them to support yourself Not the worst offense in the world or anything of course but it does make me like the YouTubers who take them just a little bit less
