YouTubers who are serving a bunch of video ads + sponsored content and they ask to become a Patron at the end of the video..No. Pick one thing, this is just greedy

@stux I obviously understand people want something in return for their effort. But on top of this, I find it strange that I have to pay YouTube money to get rid of ads and then get all of this once I do.

@stux @mariaisquixotic Is it okay though if they put all their videos on Patreon ad-free though?

@stux There's certain channels that are now totally unwatchable unless you have a YouTube ad blocker. Literally, ads every 90 seconds.

@stux ad revenue is seasonal and may not be as reliable but Patreon supporters stick around and usually get other perks like discord access.

@stux To be fair, the way Youtube keeps screwing around with their monetization rules, a lot of smaller time creators need to do this if they are trying to make a living on it.

@stux @zoran @gumbo SponsorBlock is extremely necessary in today's YouTube landscape of endless baked in ads.They have different categories for things like sponsor, self promo, even intro and outro. You can choose what happens for any action, an auto skip, manual skip, or ignore.The sections are put in by the users. They set the start and end time and category. So, sometimes they're better than others, but you can vote if it was a good skip or not!

@stux YouTube runs ads on my videos and I don’t have a choice in the matter. I also don’t get any of the money from that.

@stux: Apparently, Youtube has a bad habit of putting ads even into videos that they say they won't be paying the authors for on the basis that they aren't able to put ads into them.And in defence of sponsored content, sometimes it really fits in with the topic of the video, like when Skip Intro did one about problems with standardised police reform, and was sponsored by a sex toy vendor. It's not like they all sell souveneir castles in Scotland or VPN service to see the latest episodes of Russia Today.

@stux you can blame the unreliability of YouTube monetisation for that
