I Hate YouTube Sponsorships

NOTE: Tom Scott did end up including a Nord sponsorship a couple days after publishing this video. However, he advertised it in a much more honest way than most do. Still not a huge fan of it, but he actually seems to have a legitimate use case for it, so that's better than many.

Shoutout to YouTubers who make the sponsor a chapter so I could skip it easier

It doesn't help that quite a few of the common sponsorships are being exposed as blatant scams, poorly designed products, or money hungry games.

I hate sponsors on serious videos like True Crime, Abuse, etc. Hearing about how something horrible happened to a person then immediately switching to "this video was sponsored by" just pisses me off honestly. It feels like they couldn't care less about the victim(s) and only making a video for money and views.

A sponsored segment for Sponsor Block would be hilariously ironic.

its so funny how the most replayed part of a youtube video with a sponsor is always RIGHT AFTER the sponsorship segment lmao

for me its mainly annoying because i got premium to get rid of ads, sort of upsetting that it now you basically get ads premium or not, this ontop of youtube now blocking ad block is basically either 2-5 ads plus the sponsor or premium and the sponsor which is mostly 2-5 minutes long so the timing is sad

Tbh they need to save the sponsorship at the end

This video is sponsored b- Me: >>>>>>>>>>

One of the things i hate about sponsors are that most of them straight up interupt the video with something like "but you know what isnt as bad as that? This video was sponsored by (sponsor)."

I 100% agree. As if having a million ads intruding every video I watch wasn't frustrating enough, nearly every single Youtuber I enjoy is shoving sponsorship commercials in your face. This website becomes more intolerable with each passing year, and if this get worse and worse, then I'll probably just quit YouTube watching altogether. Ads are what keeps YouTube free to use, but the quantity and anti-consumer experience is getting so bad, that in a few years some people will say " ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!" And quit.

One time I saw a YouTube channel that talked about predatory mobile game tactics while having the video sponsored by raid shadow legends. It was a stroke of genius in my opinion, he basically got paid to make Raid look stupid by raid themselves.

Who doesn’t hate sponsorships? Best thing channels who have sponsors on videos can do is add timestamps so you can skip over the sponsorship and get to the actual part of the video that you wanted to watch.

schaffrillas productions is in love with sponsors, especially square space

demolished those sponsors so hard they were sent to the spirit realm

Sponsorships is like ads like this. You got YouTube premium and no ads bothering you anymore until sponsorships comes in like ads that you can’t skip.

ISTG if I hear one more YT video talking about the Raid Shadow Legends Sponsor, I'm genuinely gonna lose it

god, i love sponsorblock

Sponsorships have gotten so out of hand. Tbh they've gotten so out of hand that I literally just fast forward through them. Very really do I see people do sponsorships well. People like Internet Comment Etiquette make a skit out of it and Pyrocynical's satire is genuinely entertaining. Also thank you for giving me Vietnam Flashbacks to Cody's Favorite Game.

Its a ripoff. I pay for premium and i dont want to see ads. Now i pay and have to watch creators talk about some crappy game or whatever. Annoying AF
