Like when the creator does their spiel for whatever sponsor.
That’s what sponsor block is for.
Well, then we’ll never know!
Is there a way to combo sponsor block with YouTube dl?
Sometimes the creators do funny ways to introduce their sponsors, I really like that. For example donut, even if it’s a fun skit they even place a progress bar on the bottom. It’s the main reason I set sponsorblock to “notify, but don’t skip the segment”
Other times instead it’s the whole video to be secretly sponsored, like many unboxing channels. In that case sponsorblock should warn “error: no content found”
I love Jay Foreman’s sponsored segments. Absolutely hilarious stuff at times.
Second this some of the only sponsored segments I don’t mind watching.
Map Men, Map Men,
SponsorBlock already flags fully sponsored videos in the thumbnail.
oops, didn’t notice that (using alternative clients)
I love creators that make a skit for their sponsors. Sadly only few of them do this.
Internet historian sponsor segments are hillarious.
Harry Mack does freestyle raps about his sponsors. I think his bars about Keeps hair medication service and Nord VPN are just as entertaining as the rest of his stuff.
Depends how you define hard coded sponsors. Ad for Raid Shadow Legends or NordVpn, then quite little.
How would you count videos where Asus/Dell/HP/Milwaukee have sent hardware for review?
Sponsor Block just warns you if a video is an ad wholesale. So, logically, count the entire video.
Untrustworthy. Real reviewers buy the product. If you are reliant on companies to send you product to review then you cannot be impartial.
“Just to be up front I was sent this product free of charge for review. No money has exchanged hands and the company doesn’t get to review my video before I upload. “
So, if you write them a bad review are they going to send you one next time?
If the company is worthless, has no integrity, or is an idiot, no. Blacklisting an independent reviewer for a negative review says to me a company relies on dishonest shills rather than their own quality. “You didn’t like that one? Here, try this one.” at least takes some integrity.
Let’s use the example of power tools. A reviewer is sent a tool, doesn’t like it. Switch isn’t very good, too heavy, motor breaks. So he produces a bad review, recommends against it. A shit company tries to prevent this guy from talking about them again. A good company says “Hey, will you try our new and improved version?” A company that takes their Ls and even listens and responds to criticism is worth paying for.
I more meant if you require companies to send you goods to review for your business to work, then you can’t be impartial.
As long as I have seen a reviewer shit on a free product at some point, I’m fine with it. Otherwise I agree.
At that point it’s not an ad, it’s sponsored content
