Comment on Youtube is allowing Youtubers to advertise their merch even for premium users

  If they have signs up advertising the food in the theatre, then yes, of course that’s an ad.

    I’ll restate what I said because you didn’t quite go for it I didn’t say they put up advertising the food, I said they sell food.

    let’s say you go to a movie theatre, they sell food in the concessions on the way in. is that an ad? or are they just selling shit and also you’re gonna go watch a movie. maybe you want popcorn. maybe you want a mug.

      If they are selling it, but not advertising it, then ni it’s not an ad.

      But if they are advertising the food in cinema, like how youtube is advertising this merch, then that is an ad.

      It’s not complicated.

        So the sign above the food telling you that there is popcorn here is an ad for you? If you see anything that indicates you can buy something that’s an ad for you? Wild. That’s not the case for the rest of us but okay.
