    There are in the videos as sponsors for a lot of channels on YouTube, and as sponsored results on Amazon

      Of all the ads being pushed on us, this type seems like the least egregious to me.

      Tbh I don’t care about the sponsor segments in videos. It’s actually my favorite way of advertising, as I can skip it or watch the funny ones (tomska does really funny - although slightly incorrect - segments).

      But boy do I hate sponsored results on Amazon or similar platforms. I feel like I have to search through them to get to the actual products, and then I can’t trust the reviews
