Waiting a few seconds to watch an ad I don't care about, sure, I can stomach that.Īn abrupt advert right in the middle of a video I'm watching? That makes me sick.Īctually, the real answer is a decentralised solution, where content creators decide on how they want to earn revenue.Īlready, many feature sponsors in their videos, which I'm totally fine with. I'm not sure how that would work, but surely going after 1-2% of the third party sponsor revenue would be worth more to Youtube than charging the users a small fee?īring all of the brand management and third party sponsorship on platform. In terms of paying for Youtube, I don't think I'd be up for that.I think Youtube should be trying to recoup some revenue from creators that have embedded sponsors. I use an adblocker so I see no ads, but on peoples machines where there is no adblocker, i've noted that the time between ads on some youtube videos can be extremely short.which makes a long video essentially just a chain of really short videos. There are a lot of theories around why short videos have become a lot more popular in recent years.and a lot of the theories are quite derogatory, such as younger people having shorter attention spans etc.I haven't seen a single person posit that short videos might be more popular because.ī) We've always had short videos because of excessive ad breaks. I don't mind a pre-video ad or a post video ad.it's the random ones in between that piss me off.Įmbedded sponsorships piss me off as well.especially when they are extremely overt.'.and that's why I use NordVPN'. 'If a service is cheap as chips as well as ad free, people will be much more likely a pay for it'.īetter yet, if a Youtuber has embedded sponsorships, strip them of their ad revenue.
