Yeah, sponsor sections of content is usually done respectfully of the audience. There's no javascript being run on my machine, the sponsor is usually tangentially related to the content, and the creator has an incentive to deliver it in either a humorous or relevant manner.

I literally just LOL'd and spit water at my screen reading that. They are the most condescending over the top waaaaay too long of a segment. Even in the 1950's, sponsors were just mentioned along the lines of "This segment is brought to you by Ovaltine. Remember to drink your Ovaltine!" and then moves right the fuck along. But nooooo, youtube sponsors took the SNL idea of play it until it's uncomfortably long, then keep going until it's just funny that they haven't stopped, but then continue until you just feel like a sad sap for continuing to have this product/service talked about like it is the second coming. Respectful. As. If.

Maybe you should watch other creators then. IME better creators have higher respect for their audiences and create better, even entertaining sponsor segments.

I have even been introduced to services I pay for now via these segments. Nebula, Backblaze, DBrand, and Audible are some of them.
