It's like I can feel myself detach from whatever topic I'm listening to as I expect it to be a lead up for Raid Shadow Legends.
It's like I'm gonna disengage from serious things because I'm just waiting to see how they are going to ask for money.
I get it's to keep engagement, but it's doing the opposite. I don't want you to slip between conversation into a commercial like that's not creepy as fuck. It's like the Truman show, but nobody's even watching you. I dunno, it's not fun out here.
If someone is making a video on the tendency for the rate of profit to fall and decide to sneak in an ad about earbuds or VPNs, that doesn’t seem to really affect the integrity.
If you’re doing a video on privacy or the best earbuds and your sponsors are one of those, obviously it’s a conflict of interest. Likewise if you make a video on socialism and your sponsor is The Bill Gates Foundation lol
I think the conversational pivot is the hard part for me. Like I want to listen and take the person seriously and you suddenly realize they are talking about raycon or whatever. I just want a specific delineation between ad and video.
