Did you ever have an intelligent and liked youtuber start doing bottom of the barrell Raycon ads out of the blue?
Did you ever have an intelligent and liked youtuber start doing bottom of the barrell Raycon ads out of the blue? - Lemmy.World
Imagine this: You have a hobby or just some deeper interest in a certain matter. There is bottom of the barrell stuff that NEVER even gets mentioned because it is so terrible even casual “non-ad affected” people never really look in its way. Then one day your favourite, intelligent, politically/societally/economically very well versed youtuber starts promoting this literal dogshit. I have had multiple occasions where pretty okay channels get on the circlejerk of sucking up all the usual ads playing on youtube and routinely go full out on these borderline scamming ads with terrible services and products. I mean I dont feel I got damage out of this, but it removes any kind of doubt they are really up there.
