If the "Raid Shadyman" sponsorships sweeping the internet didn't hammer it home yet I don't know what to tell you.
It's an open secret that all sponsored ad breaks are (hopefully begrudging) exercises in self-debasement and entirely ingenuine. They're a tax on idiots and marketers, two decidedly not mutually-exclusive groups, taken in lieu of a full-time internet videographers' dignities.
TL;DR Ad breaks are bullshit and most content creators only expect retards to watch them.
Honestly that's not even the weirdest shit that he's put in his ads, I just find it cheeky he's only done a 7 minute odd video and a good portion of it is his ad read. The other one he and I think info wars was doing too was this stupid looking vitamin supplements from a supplier who knows and I'm thinking to myself "You really are down to the wire if that's the only thing that you can do for an ad read".
I don't have much sympathy to be honest, the smarter youtubers like Count Dankula picked something new to go with and they've moved a bit beyond political commentary so they're doing quite well for themselves. The same thing is happening with the lotus eaters, I don't always like their segments but it's almost like they're styling themselves as a proper news organisation now which makes me hope they'll do some on the ground reporting and show up the the other studios big time.
Quite a few of these guys like to pretend it's just youtube's fault for shadowbanning them and it partly is to be fair. However I frequently maintain that explicitly anti-woke stuff has gotten cringe now and doesn't have the audience it used to especially if it's political commentary when I could look at an average comments page and even with people getting banned there are still going to be users calling out leftists.
You know, usually people say to skip the in video ad.
He's shilling for make-up for men.
I don't think you understand what make-up is.
