    Not an ad, but pretty questionable for a YouTuber to put a plug for their sponsor as the frontmost text, when many of us use sponsorblock to actively avoid seeing such content.

    At least it’s a good warning not to click that link.

      Extremely common 🤷‍♂️… also, whether we use sponsorblock or not is completely irrelevant to the contents of a video description IMO.

      Probably better for you to avoid youtube creators who rely on sponsors’ income to completely avoid any form of advertising. Even the sponsorblock timestamps don’t block off-hand sponsor mentions within a video

      Who reads youtube description texts? On youtube, that is, it’s lemmy which puts the thing in such a prominent place. The sponsor segment is towards the end and has a count-down bar so it’s easy to skip, and Ryan specifically says to not buy that stuff if you don’t need it.

          They have plenty of videos without sponsors, they’re not relying on YouTube to stay afloat in the first place they’re a motorcycle gear and parts store. You decide how trustworthy it is when you rip into Gore-Tex (primarily its price vs. performance nowadays) while selling, among plenty of alternatives, things with a Gore-Tex label. In essence what he’s saying is “Go ahead, buy the jacket that’s half as expensive”.
