A lot of Youtubers aren't marking their videos with that flag. (Many may be unaware of it.)
A screenshot showing what a "Includes paid promotion" title card looks like: https://wersm.com/youtube-creators-includes-paid-promotion-disclaimer-videos/ https://wersm.com/youtube-creators-includes-paid-promotion-d...
An example video with the "Includes paid promotion" displayed at the beginning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4ijHIRaGXc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4ijHIRaGXc
As an aside, I don't mind creators sponsored with relevant ads. They often show products that interest me. (This doesn't include generic ads like Blue Apron and Nord VPN that seem to be attached to any topic.)
- ajayyy 7y agoOne reason this isn't visible could be due to the fact that there are two checkboxes. One just says that it includes it, and the other says to display it. The YouTube console tells you that you don't have to display it if you mention it in the video.
