  An ad for what. Certainly not Gore-Tex. Have you any idea how marketing works.

  Yes the video contains a sponsored segment, like 99.9% of youtube videos. Or newspaper articles. Or any other kind of content on the internet.

    The way you’ve decided to post this has made it an ad, the first think you see is “Check out brandname and get thing”. Putting a videos sponsor as the post content is generally not recommended.

      I’ve decided nothing that’s lemmy taking the beginning of youtube’s description and putting it there. FortNine (the youtube channel) put that there, because it’s their sponsor for the video. But fine I’ll manually add the stuff after to the post.

    It’s more about patents and trademarks than technology, would be a good submission for a business community.

      It’s a hell a lot more about technology as in PTFE vs. other membranes and actual experiments than random Musk posts. Or, currently at +362 on the sub frontpage, the whitehouse threatening drug patents… not that drugs aren’t technology but I don’t see any pharmacology or chemistry in that article.

  This is 100% about technology, it’s really interesting.

  Now that you’ve taken down the “is an ad” claim, how is this not about technology? It deals with membranes which let air pass but not water (though Gore-Tex isn’t particularly good at it).

  Not an ad, but pretty questionable for a YouTuber to put a plug for their sponsor as the frontmost text, when many of us use sponsorblock to actively avoid seeing such content.

  At least it’s a good warning not to click that link.

    Who reads youtube description texts? On youtube, that is, it’s lemmy who puts the thing in such a prominent place. The sponsor segment is towards the end and has a count-down bar so it’s easy to skip, and Ryan specifically says to not buy that stuff if you don’t need it.
