    Huh, I think I see pcbway/jlcpcb and various 3D printer/laser cutter companies 90% of the time I’m watching a channel with sponsors.

    I’m not sure how people don’t see these things as anti-ads. I wouldn’t touch any of these companies with a 20 meter cattle prod.

    I’m happy that creators get paid, sure, but if a company has to go out of their way to get someone to make ads for them, it doesn’t inspire trust at all.

      sadly, plenty of people fall for those and that’s all the advertisers need.

    I feel like we’ve lost the plot a little bit. How is this a meme? How is it even a joke, or humorous in any way? It’s just “you know how YouTube has become an ad-infested shithole? Here are all those ads, condensed, for you to look at again.” I don’t want to look at ads.

      Curiosity Stream is fine if you are looking for a service that let’s you pay to stream nature docs. The rest, I’d probably avoid. Some of the because they suck, others because there are better alternatives.
