It’s a fun show and even more fun if you’ve ever worked in education.

Well said.
There will always be slop advertisements. I avoid traditional advertising by pirating or paying for an ad free version. I do still watch ads in the form of product reviews and such. There are great products that I found through advertising that I otherwise wouldn’t.
There is a lot of awful advertising and I’m numb to it, my brain doesn’t even register it.
The problem is bad advertising works. My job is related to the text messaging industry. We have clients that spent six figures on sending marketing messages, for every dollar they are spending on text marketing they are making 5x more in profit.
I like to think that there will be a shift in advertising towards more thoughtful placement as consumers learn to ignore but honestly I think that’s my own bias. Most people are susceptible to slop advertisements and so the slop will continue.

Abbot Elementary apple sticker ads are clever, minimally invasive and I argue that this is what advertising should be.
This is a creative, tongue in cheek ad for a comedy about school teachers. Teachers stereotypically are given apples so its related.
You cannot compare this to the Pluribus fridge ads or car infotainment ads which make no sense other than “get more eyes on it”.

Kinda wish you guys pulled a hello games and put it out for free, but I also understand the economics and not every dev can do it. I’ll buy it when it goes on sale.

That’s what the writers are for. It’s a produced show with a personality reading a teleprompter.

Lol 90% of comments taking the opportunity to hate on LTT and missing the point of the post. Views are dropping for multiple channels.
Also the LTT hate is mostly “He’s so rich and out of touch”. LTT is the mass produced TV show for tech YouTube. It’s meant to be entertaining and easy to watch for the masses. I like watching most of their videos. Gamers Nexus has its place too but it’s a different kind of nerd whose a lil more cynical and obsessed with specs, a lot more niche and it shows in the views.
To each their own.

Your home listed at…$4,500,000 is going to cost you $700,000 in taxes? Cry me a river straight to the bank with your remaining $3,800,000. I hope they raise the tax.
