A trend I just noticed is YouTubers splicing in actual ads into their videos - not just mentioning products but using recorded marketing materials as part of their videos.

Huh, I don’t think I’ve seen that yet

ya

Sad…

they gotta make money somehow

What’s the point of paying for YouTube premium if you still see ads?

I get it, but also hate it.

you can’t pay for google products man they’re so shit

My kids watch YouTube on TV, I can’t stand seeing ads 🤣

If you use Android apps like Tubular and LibreTube make use of Sponsorskip and allow skipping things like this.

This is not ads inserted by YouTube. Also, I know there are extensions that allow you to skip reported ad time frames but not sure how you’d use them on a tv

I understand that, SponserBlock will still automatically forward by them in most cases. All that's needed is enable it in the app settings. However, I guess that's only useful if you can install APK's.

SponsorBlock extension works pretty well for popular content

I watch those movie/series recap videos, and this sly bastard made up a quote the girl says in the movie about using a vpn and "sTaYiNg SaFe OnLiNe"

It was so out of place my brain immediately went hold up, sure enough he fucking shills Nord VPN 🤮🤮🤮🤡

The ad supported content model cannot die soon enough.
