Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
I'm sorry y'all... I'm the one who convinced and helped out the owner of raycons to advertise on YouTube and podcasts before they launched there business, and I did so for free 😭
They're just rebranded Ali express Chinese stuff with better packaging btw. At least back then they were, I don't know about now
You watch mostly tech and video game channels, I suppose?
Oh right, even more companies promoting their competition.
Sponsorblock go brrr
I've actually never seen an elgato sponsorship
It's more they break frequently and thus the name and logo crops up a lot cause of it
It's when somebody's elgato stops working so their logo remains the only thing on the screen for a minute or so
Wonder why the mattress folks have ads on a ton of the podcasts I listen to but it doesn't show up on yt much. You'd think a mattress ad would want a visual medium to display some features.
surprisef you know about the displate sponsorships, mabye i think they're rare because i use sponsorblock.
Sponsor Block is one of the essential YouTube plugins. Thanks to that I don't know half of these companies.
another option is to exclusively watch small youtube channels
God forbid someone gets popular and starts making money off of their passion!
This is Lemmy. You were required to hate on anything that makes money or anyone attempting to monetize anything.
Everything must be free.
as much as I love self-hosting it does get f****** over the top with how up their own ass. A lot of people around here are.
I love sponsor block, it works pretty much flawlessly apart from when YouTube recommends me a video from literally 30 seconds ago, which is surprisingly often that I can now count it on 2 hands as of the last time I got a scarily new video on my feed,
And Dearrow by the same creator.
It’s funny that DeArrow has lead to me watching more videos with super click bait titles. It’s almost as if actually using the content for the title instead of some vague notion or off content question is more likely to pick a video to watch.
I know there’s a reason channels do it but this is just my experience.
What's dearrow? Downsides?
It replaces the thumbnail with a more representative frame from the video (voted by users). The 'arrow' was in reference to a trend where people would put a big red arrow pointed at some shit as clickbait. This is meant to stop clickbait
Thanks, downloaded and bought it. Happy to pay for good software.
It changes titles and thumbnails to remove clickbait. Seeing the youtube homepage without it is genuinely jarring--everyone is clawing at your attention. "Pick me, pick me!"
There are different options but i have it set so the thumbnail is a random frame from the video. I think titles are 'normalized' and sometimes community generated.
where's Ground News (yes i listen to boomer news commentary on youtube)
Also Rocket Money.
Spend money to save money without having to look at your own bank statements! Makes perfect sense!
This was put together by someone who doesn't watch any sports channels. Completely missing all the sports betting sponsors like Fanduel and Underdog.
Is Magic Spoon still sponsoring web creators? Or did they stop when their cereal came to grocery stores?
Missing Nebula
Nebula is the youtubers advertising for their own platform. It's like "like and subscribe" or "subscribe to my patreon".
They are right anyway.
You missed Factor.
And AG1 and skillshare
Skillshare is there, next to Hello Fresh.
Oops. So used to skipping them I guess.
I'm missing Betterhelp, that one really expensive safety razor, and Bambulab for makers.
PCBWay, the Raid Shadowlegends of electrical engineering projects
Better help is so shitty that it makes me turn off a video when my sponsor block isn't working. Bambulab at least makes something "good".
And I have never ever used one of those services.
Got a set of Raycon headphones, they're fine but nothing special
Dankpods heavily criticized them.
Yeah but dank is also a bit of an audio snob. Hes rough on everything that your normal person would use. He's not entirely wrong. But he is rough.
I mean sure they arent good by any measure but for 70$ and after 4 years of near daily use in a shop with grinders and paint they've done what I needed them to, no complaints just no real complement either
I'm proud to say that I block so many ads, this is the first time I'm seeing most of these names.
These sponsors are more and more being baked in the video themselves and not part of the system youtube use. That's why I use sponsorblock to automatically skip the portions of the sponsors.
Did you really need to write this like you were sponsored
I swear it's unintentional
