maven is great even on the sponser parts
I barely watched any of them, but Sampson Boat Co (the people rebuilding Tally Ho) put together some moderately high-effort sponsor segments, with a melodramatic plot and hammy acting and costumes made out of construction materials and such.
Internet Historian’s ads are also hilarious and worth watching.
Ironic, considering those ad segments are the only original content…
I guess he… dug his own hole on that one.
YES
Personally, nope. I’m still annoyed. But yes, thanks for trying to make the ads amusing or whatever, YTers.
me using SponsorBlock: what ad?
TIL about SponsorBlock and DeArrow, just wow!
This line from the website made my day: There are currently 452.934 users who have submitted 17.125.673 skip segments, which have saved a total of 4185 years and 4.84 days of people’s lives.
What is dearrow ?
DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.
And what do I do with all of that time? Watch more YouTube videos, of course.
I forgot that periods are used in some places instead of commas for thousands and was wondering how you could get 0.934 of a person
For some reason though its written as 4.84 instead which I thought should be written as 4,84?
Go Canadian, use spaces 452 934
Are spaces used in place of commas in regular casual conversations, too? In Australia, I’ve only ever seen them used in really formal documents like financial reports, never really anywhere else
Sound about right.
I have no idea what I’ve missed… Till I go to someone’s house and watch raw YouTube and it’s unbearable.
REAL
Ditto
StyroPyro: “btw this table I’ve been using for the video? It’s great, they sent it to me free. Watch me try to light it on fire!!”
How can you skip that?!
PS: big F U to US health insurance industry: I’m sick in a bizarre and horrifying way
Insurance company : Oh you paid for insurance but we won’t cover your costs
Finally claims insurance after months of waiting
Hospital : You have an insurance so the bill is 8x higher but no you don’t need to pay all of them half is paid by insurance not you only have to pay 4x the money without insurance
but you have to pay the full amount anyway and go through insurance because you have a deductible that needs to be met because your annual physical isn’t supposed to happen until November when you get time off around Thanksgiving but you don’t want to have to pay the full non-insured price of this and not count it to your deductible when you KNOW that you’ll have to pay the full cost of that primary care visit and your 45-year-old colonoscopy coming up and everything is terrible.
this is Drew Gooden and The Yard for me. i have whitelisted them on sponsorblock because their ad reads are so fucking funny. also obligatory shoutout to Internet Comment Etiquette
SomeMoreNews often gets me
The sponsor ads work when they’re neatly aligned aligned with the video’s concept. It wouldn’t budge me to see a manufacturer sponsor a PC build video where one of their products are being used. Or channels like GradeA where they advertise the sponsors in a similar way to their vids.
What breaks it is when you can feel the ad clearly feels like a last minute insert (which it feels like almost all the time). Even the bigger creators out there do this.
So anyway, has any of you motherfuckers heard about Raids Shadow Legends?
Ad is an ad. Fuck them.
Bringus Studios had a video yesterday on the alpha I Dec kit for the original devkit. Not only was the segway pretty slick but it had his signature humor included which actually made me watch through half the ad. First time I didn’t skip the sponsor which I think says something about his writing and delivery
For Internet Historian it’s a highlight.
The only creator I’ll disable SponsorBlock for
Yeah too bad his videos are plagiarisms of other people’s work
Yeah I was really bummed to find this out along with all the nazi signposting that slipped past me because I couldn’t hear the dog whistle, he might be the only creator I’ve ever actually gone and unsubscribed to. Shame, too, because some of those videos were actually really good, credit where it’s due (even if that credit isn’t due to IH himself).
Nazi signposting? Any examples specifically? Gave up on IH after the plagiarism deal, and I know some of his earlier content tends to lean on the edgier side of things.
Best source is a reddit link, sorry.
I thought going in that people had to be overreacting about it, I know he’s a bit edgy and pretty clearly grew up on 4chan but it couldn’t be that bad.
Nah, it’s pretty bad.

Thanks for the info. Pretty awful.
the hitler references i can look past as bad low-effort edgy teen jokes, but him following a bunch of actual alive nazis on twitter is the most damning to me. good riddance, glad that i unsubscribed back when he was exposed for plagiarism. what a talentless hack
Me whenever I watch SomeMoreNews and Cody has something for Ground News or he chokes down his favorite drink.
I’m happy ground.news is spreading… I got it on app release and haven’t regretted my sub years later.
Yep I’m a few months deep and still loving the features.
Ryan George honestly does good stuff with his advertisements
They are so genuinely funny and I watch them both because of that and because I’m happy he’s able to make a living from his material!
I’m surprised I haven’t seen the “Adstronaut in Ad Space” joke anywhere else.
The sponsor segments in GrayStillPlays’ videos are the only ones I remember, mostly because he ran the sponsor merch over with a lawnmower.
I like Steve Mould’s ad reads. He does science content and seems to only advertise products and services he uses, so his ads are mostly straight “this is what I like about the product, what makes it different to alternatives, this is why I use it, this is the stuff they told me to say”
He’s one of the few YouTubers I actually believe when he says a product is good
MiniMinuteMan did a bit where he just juggled while talking about the sponsor and you know what, it fucking worked on me. Jangle those keys for me.
