What I notice is that internet advertisment is pretty selective, I dont know about effective... If your interests happen to diverge from mainstream just that bit enough, you can end up in a pretty much ad-free zone. I happen to watch a lot of conference recordings on YouTube, and most conferences dont monetize their channel (yet). But thats not the end of the story. Stay away from mainstream, and you get complete ad-free shows. Take Joe Rogan for instance. The people he hosts are largely pretty interesting, but the way he does controversial topics pretty much led YouTube to demonetize him. Which, for the consumer, is a blessing. Because you get 3h talkshows without a single bit of advertisment. Or ARTE, which is a german/french coop television provider. They have very interesting content, but a policy of not enoying with ads. Which makes their YouTube channel even more worthwhile subscribing to. I could go on, the pattern seems to be the same. To be honest, the more cheesy a program is, the more likely it is that you will be flooded with ads.

> stay away from mainstream Joe Rogan's podcast has millions of subscribers and multiple ads per episode (not counting ads on various cuts/highlights from the episode) — are there more mainstream podcasts on youtube?

  Interesting, I dont see this. I used to watch JRE on youtube with my iPhone, and now consume the same channel via an Apple TV 3. I never got a single ad. I know that he is doing his own ads at the beginning of the show, but only in the podcast version. The YT JRE shows are completely ad-free for me.

So, how is Rogan funded? And what is he advertising? His Patreon? Product placement? Ideological placement?

  Only a portion of his shows gets demonetized, far from all

  There are over 5 minutes of ads at the start of every Joe Rogan podcast, as well as others throughout. One analyst suggests Rogan has acheived a net worth over $1bn based on the number of downloads & estimated advertising revenue based on those figures: http://www.insideradio.com/podcastnewsdaily/joe-rogan-podcast-billionaire-and-poster-boy-for-subscription-podcasts/article_05317272-cffc-11e9-be43-2f6532b4be9c.html http://www.insideradio.com/podcastnewsdaily/joe-rogan-podcas...

    As written above, I know about the intro ads, but they are only being done in the podcast version. The youtube versions of the same talkshows dont have a single bit of advertisment for me, neither at the beginning nor in the middle.

I think a lot of people still see ads on demonetized videos, the creator just doesn't see a penny of it.
