YouTube sponsorship starter pack

https://lemmy.cafe/post/31062025

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.
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
You missed Factor.
And AG1 and skillshare
Skillshare is there, next to Hello Fresh.
Oops. So used to skipping them I guess.
where’s Ground News (yes i listen to boomer news commentary on youtube)
Also Rocket Money.
legal eagle also has ground news as a supervisor pretty often.
I'm missing Betterhelp, that one really expensive safety razor, and Bambulab for makers.
Hensson. It is a very good razor, just double the price of others
That's the one!
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”.
PCBWay, the Raid Shadowlegends of electrical engineering projects
I was gonna say, for the stuff I watch pcbway is every fucking video
Füm?

I can’t say that without it rhyming with “cum”

I know it’s got the umlaut, but… yknow… cmon.

Idk if this is outdated or I just watch different content than OP, but I’ve been seeing mostly Helix & MeUndies the last year
Only seen meundies on two channels so far. Not come across helix yet. Yt is large enough for you to be able to just completely miss a sponsor.
I have come accross meundies when watching Alec Steele, amazing channel, would recommend, big enough to have sponskr segments labelled consistent too
Honestly he’s one of the only creators where I don’t just skip the sponsorship segments, because they are actually humorous and he frequently models the underwear for us.

MeUndies are unironically excellent.

Micromodal isn’t the sturdiest fiber so they do wear out eventually, but holy shit are they comfy.

They’re overpriced, sure, but kind of worth it IMO.

helix? like, the text editor???
It’s a mattress/topper brand 
Sponsor Block is one of the essential YouTube plugins. Thanks to that I don’t know half of these companies.
And Dearrow by the same creator.
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!”

Downside: Because you’re hiding the problem it doesn’t tell the creator in any way that people don’t like “arrow face” type thumbnails and clickbait titles.

I also use it and it’s great, but… Yeah.

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.

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,
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.

This, plus the “anti-imperialism” which goes so far anti western imperialism that it goes round to being pro russian imperialism.

It’s like a clown show here sometimes.

That’s the bit I hate the most about YouTube premium. You still have ad! What’s the fucking point is I have to get adblock for sponsors.

Drop every single add, including embedded and we can have a discussion.

I’m not going to be paying anyway though

Odoo is missing
What, the open source business software?

Yes, LTT for one was advertising it.

It was weird seeing a product I develop custom modules for being advertised by them lol. Also, ERPs have such a high entry cost to get them working properly for your business, I don’t see who’d adopt one based on a YouTube sponsorship.

Yeah, I used to work on what amounted to an extension of Odoo with loads of customisation. Odoo itself was absolute hell after having worked on sane backends with sane ORMs.
Never heard of that one
This meme brought to you by Blue Apron
This seems less like a starter pack and more like the whole collection.
I mean, their advertising obviously worked. We all recognize those names even though more than half barely even do sponsorships anymore or not at all. Instead of making commercials look like memes they just flooded the internet and let us make the memes for them.
Morgan & Morgan have been showing up recently
You guys are seeing sponsors? Don’t people use sponsorblock?
You would be surprised how many people still watch with the normal YouTube ads, so never mind sponsorsblock. I guess the big tech companies succeeded by dumbing everything down to bite-sized technologies. So many younger people can’t even comprehend the notion of ad blockers. They are basically on the same level as boomers when it comes to tech literacy.

You beat me to it.

My wife once asked me why is it so that on our HTPC there are no ads on YouTube and even on Netflix. Now she’s hyped to use YouTube on her phone, tablet and her PC after I installed Revanced on her portables and Firefox with UBO+Sponsorblock on her PC.

I also remember frustration of our teachers in uni when they were showing some videos off youtube as an example for the class.

It may be not so obvious to us, but in reality most of internet users have no such tools installed on their systems. They raw dogging the internet.

There are some creators who’s content ads have the same effort as the rest of the content. As a heavy ad block user this is the only way for advertisers to reach me and im okay with it.
sometimes there isnt labeled sponsor segments, I just usually skip increments of 30 seconds since most sponsor are either 30, 60 or 90 seconds
