Daily reminder that sponsored segments are one of the few legitimate tools content maker have to sustain themselves without tying themselves up with invasive data gathering and keeping a modicum of indipendence from the platform that hosts them.

Fine, but I don't need to literally watch the segment for them to get the bag, much less buy the products

Honestly most products that are advertized through youtube/podcasts have a sleazy vibe to them imo

Ads are a cognitohazard, no I won't subject myself to them and I encourage everyone else to avoid them.

Yes much of what we rely on is ad supported. I don't have an easy solution, still not damaging my brain by watching ads.
