same i dont mind the sponsorship/brand deals promotion when done in video because i know the creator got payed for it and work it into the content one proment example for a bit was a youtuber called greystillplays his former style of product promotion involed him distroying the product in humorus ways. my problem is with how yt/google does THEIR advertisments they plap midroll ads in that break content flow pay a pittence if at all and flat out state they will put ads on vids regardless of monitizaton content. that last one really irks me if your putting ads on a vid you should pay them regardless too. i better stop here we will be here all day if its youtube woes.
