    I don’t give a fuck. I won’t watch your ads. I would sooner donate directly to content creators that I like (and I have!). I would rather see them beg their audience for money than take a corporate handout.

      Begging is also acceptable!

      I’m OK to donate my time though I will 2x speed through :)

      The best sponsor thing I’ve seen was probably the Pyro guy on YouTube who got a hooligan-resistant standing desk: I think he covered it in alcohol and lit it on fire. pretty sure that is the desk he’s using now. If you make a really good standing desk I think it’s fine to try to promote it via a really good science YouTuber and I really love that that YouTuber is not tracking me and is just assuming I care because I’m watching a science channel. It’s the same ad whether I use YTDLP or login to my spyware account and watch. That’s how ads should be even though it means some small folks won’t have budget to adequately advertise & survive.
