    I’m sorry y’all… I’m the one who convinced and helped out the owner of raycons to advertise on YouTube and podcasts before they launched there business, and I did so for free 😭

    They’re just rebranded Ali express Chinese stuff with better packaging btw. At least back then they were, I don’t know about now

    Wonder why the mattress folks have ads on a ton of the podcasts I listen to but it doesn’t show up on yt much. You’d think a mattress ad would want a visual medium to display some features.

    You guys are seeing sponsors? Don’t people use sponsorblock? I’ve never heard of (or seen) half these things.

      sometimes there isnt labeled sponsor segments, I just usually skip increments of 30 seconds since most sponsor are either 30, 60 or 90 seconds

      There are some creators who’s content ads have the same effort as the rest of the content. As a heavy ad block user this is the only way for advertisers to reach me and im okay with it.

      You would be surprised how many people still watch with the normal YouTube ads, so never mind sponsorsblock. I guess the big tech companies succeeded by dumbing everything down to bite-sized technologies. So many younger people can’t even comprehend the notion of ad blockers. They are basically on the same level as boomers when it comes to tech literacy.

        You beat me to it.

        My wife once asked me why is it so that on our HTPC there are no ads on YouTube and even on Netflix. Now she’s hyped to use YouTube on her phone, tablet and her PC after I installed Revanced on her portables and Firefox with UBO+Sponsorblock on her PC.

        I also remember frustration of our teachers in uni when they were showing some videos off youtube as an example for the class.

        It may be not so obvious to us, but in reality most of internet users have no such tools installed on their systems. They raw dogging the internet.

    This was put together by someone who doesn’t watch any sports channels. Completely missing all the sports betting sponsors like Fanduel and Underdog.

          Yeah but dank is also a bit of an audio snob. Hes rough on everything that your normal person would use. He’s not entirely wrong. But he is rough.

            Well the KZ-s I had were way better than any other cheap earphones I used before and later. He has every right to complain over other cheap and even more expensive products.

          I mean sure they arent good by any measure but for 70$ and after 4 years of near daily use in a shop with grinders and paint they’ve done what I needed them to, no complaints just no real complement either

            Well, that’s better than my KZ ZSN PROs, where the connector got loose and I lost one headphone(edit: actually ear idiot) in 2 months. But they were great while they lasted. Now I just use the JBL-s I got as a gift which practically can’t die.

    I’d love to see the YouTube analytics of a handful of really popular videos that have embedded sponsors. Even before the “jump ahead” feature, there must be a massive drop-off of people who just skip five or ten seconds ahead until the sponsor isn’t showing again.
