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 you think people doing ads are pulling a fast one on ad agencies and marketing departments you are incredibly naive. Especially with internet marketing where the amount of subscribers directed to a service is partially measurable by discount codes. While some ad campaigns can be "Loss leaders" in a sense, there is a reason that advertisers pay for ads.

      I'm not exactly an expert on advertising but I will point out companies often burn tons of cash on paying people to do dumb bullshit that doesn't actually help the firm purely out of PMC class solidarity. I doubt Bob the associate consultant on synergy is actually doing much for the company but hey he was in the same Frat as the CEOs cousin.

      Also all these YTers seem to get a different Ad sponsor every two months so I doubt they're really making bank for them or they'd stick with it. If anything this makes BigMoney Salvia kinda sus cuz he's had like the same three sponsors for years m.
