But you still have to sit through the sponsor segments, right? Which are getting increasingly egregious - I've seen 12 minute videos with almost 3 minutes of sponsor fluff in the middle.
(Although if YouTube Premium has a better recommendation algorithm, I'd definitely pay for that given the current one is garbage.)
- mcv 3y agoThat's not YouTube, that's the content creators on there. These sponsorship deals make them a lot more money than what they get from YouTube itself. It's annoying and frustrating, but I totally get that they need to do this if they want to make a living from their channel. If you don't like this, I suppose you can block the channels that do this and only watch amateur channels that aren't in it for the money. Or they make their money from Patreon or other sources.
