It’s just more corporate shilling, and I don’t want their ads in my head. Remember when almost every YouTuber had sponsored ads for Honey? Then Honey was shown to be screwing over the very people who were promoting it? Yeah, I’m not listening to a sponsor spiel no matter how funny it is. It’s just another person selling their soul.
I feel like if a YouTuber or podcaster is bringing value to my life, I want them to get money in return.
Everyone (okay not EVERYONE) expects artists to create for free and either work full time in top of that or not eat.
I’d rather a creator choose their paid sponsors and get paid directly, than have to rely on YT or whomever to place religious or political or other bullshit ads and give them a small cut and no say.
I can’t afford to join everyone’s Patreon and I refuse to give YT my money at all. I don’t mind an ad for Factor meals or the ‘stress relief’ massager. I can just fast forward if I’m not in the mood.
