Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish

  I think you have to be watching a video that it connects to.

  So for example I was watching the Game Grumps play Peppa pig (lol I know but it was hilarious) so it put an ad saying “try paramount plus to watch peppa pig” under it.

  I’ve seen it on a few other vids that have movies associated, like sonic for example. Seems to be a semi recent thing though

  (Is this how I post a pic on Lemmy? lol)

    This is not the kind of ad most people are talking about though. This is like Amazon trying to get me to buy insurance whenever I purchase electronics (which I never do, of course).

      Yeah I only ever saw it on Desktop since I do most my viewing there, and even then only on specific videos. So its not crazy frequent, just annoying its a thing at all.

      I do love the idea of youtube building in a skip for in vid sponsors though, that would possibly bring me back haha. Like if sponsored creators were required to add a “sponsor” chapter to their vids, so premium users could have it just skip that block of the video 🤔

  Same. Have honestly enjoyed my YouTube subscription. Combined with the extension to bypass in-video ads, i basically never get marketed to on YouTube, and some of my money actually DOES go to creators. I think it’s more worth the money than Netflix, at least. It’ll be the last subscription I get rid of.
