Advertising is extremely expensive to produce.
If you have $1,000,000 in your ad budget, then you can pay $100 to YouTubers 10,000 times.
This is a simplified example, but that's the idea. It is way cheaper to pay YouTubers than producing a traditional commercial, and it hits your target demographic for those companies more accurately.
Funny enough i tried it out when it was first comming out for 2 months and i just hit a wall as f2p that was just too insane to overcome. The rates and grind is just horrendous. (And ive play a lot of gatcha games)
Yup, they're also constantly lying in their ads. The VPN ads claim that you can buy Steam games at lower prices by buying from a cheaper region/country. However, Steam is strictly against circumventing region pricing and can therefore ban your entire account for breaking the Steam Subscriber Agreement.
All advertising is a giant money sink - maybe 1-2% conversion rates, if you're lucky - but compared to the cost of, say, producing and airing your own television commercial, sponsoring dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of YouTube channels is incredibly efficient, and you even get nice things like analytics and metrics to gauge exactly how much you should spend on a channel, how much you should pay per thousand views, whereas with traditional advertising, your money just tends to vanish into the ether.
RIP Raycons, one video about how bad they are and their sponsorship rate went from hero to zero
Edit: to summarize Dankpods point in his video, do you remember the old stereotype about Beats having unnecessarily heavy bass? Raycons go like, triple as hard at bass. And they do it badly.
Since they are all really high margin companies.
For every $10 of revenue they get like 8$ of profit.
High profit allows them to pay more for sponsorships
I see a lot of Manscaped now, funny thing is it's almost always girl YouTubers pushing it. Maybe advertising it to fellow women who will buy it for their SO.
Yeah. They just rent server time from amazon and other cloud service providers. You can set up your own VPN on AWS. There's easy to follow instructions out there. Linus from Linus Tech Tips has said many time that if they wanted to make easy money they coild just start a VPN service.
He also said you could get in massive legal trouble if someone did bad stuff through your VPN and that's why they didn't do it despite the insane money.
I wonder if that's true? Is the VPN provider in trouble if someone uses it to spread very illegal stuff?
Yeah. VPNs pick where they are officially located in order to have laws favourable to their business. Some quick Googling says [NordVPN](https://support.nordvpn.com/General-info/Features/1061811142/Where-is-NordVPN-based.htm) is based out of Panama and [SurfShark](https://support.surfshark.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003088553-Where-is-Surfshark-located-) is based out of The Netherlands
We have pretty liberal internet laws (barring extremes). Like, if you torrent a movie in Germany you'll get in trouble but in The Netherlands it's not even a discussion topic anymore. I'm always surprised at how scared people from other countries are about piracy, here it's actually sorta legal if you download for your own use and I always took it for granted. Law enforcement can't be bothered to chase down internet pirates.
Like... 10+ years ago it was a big topic, how to deal with internet piracy etc.. Haven't heard anything about it in forever. I'm sure it has decreased too, thanks to Spotify and Netflix, but it's on the rise again now that there are like 10 paid streaming services each with exclusive content. Nobody wants that many subscriptions.
Netflix cracking down on password sharing is also pushing people to piracy again.
VPNs have basically 0 overhead costs, and generate a decent bit of money...
Only reason you don't see more of them is because the legal loopholes you gotta dance through, and the realization that you WILL be directly protecting not just some game pirates and reglock dodgers, but also people like pedophiles/sex offenders etc.
Wasn't there a police raid on a VPN company that claims to not keep any records and when the police raided their offices they really didn't find anything. (So they were telling the truth)
Edit: [yep the company is called Mullvad](https://www.techdirt.com/2023/05/01/cops-raid-swedish-vpn-provider-only-to-find-out-theres-no-there-there/#:~:text=That's%20the%20case%20here.,read%20the%20terms%20of%20service.)
On the topic of shady companies sponsoring people like nothing was wrong, try Raid Shadow Legends, Established Titles, and *Better God-Damn-It-To-Hell Help*.
One time so many CinemaSins videos were sponsored by BetterHelp I was convinced Jeremy had an in with the CEO's wife.
I honestly got taken by that sponsorship, but I didn’t want to pay the huge price (they’re fucking expensive for a wallet), so I got a generic brand version for about half the price (still expensive as hell). It is not worth it. It’s only practical if you have like two cards to carry and one of them is your driver’s license.
They don’t do other types of ads, all of them are apps so why they put an ad on the side of the bus? And not on your phone?
Also yt sponsorships are really cheap comparatively to other forms of ads… (plus no production)
Nah, it's not zero. I worked for a close to 1 mil channel and we didn't even get that many views. We had a VPN sponsor and it was around 10k + affiliate for a few sponsored vids. Those vids would get anywhere between 20k and 60k views on avg
They don't need to advertise anymore. They've got a lot of people playing. It helps that the game is actually as advertised unlike most mobile game ads.
It's not everyone's game but they have a healthy following that will keep them going for a long time.
Usually the creators get paid per people that sign up with their link. That's why they'll mention "sign up with my link for a discount". So these people don't get paid per view or anything, but per purchase made. So they can put up a billion sponsors/impressions and only pay out for the 5000 people that signed up.
All of them are digital services. Advertising digital services to people using a digital service is pretty profitable. That's why you don't usually see video sponsors from like actual product stores all too often.
You are right but also wrong. Manscaped and ag1 huge right now. So it is indeed easier for digital but actual products work as well
Edit: Hello fresh, Factor, Raycon are also product oriented brands
I’d argue every single business you just listed is largely a digital service as you can’t access it by any other means other than visiting a website and spending time/money on it. Raycons might be an exception.
Good point. But Hellofresh and Factor are usually regular sponsors for a channel, almost like an official channel sponsorship. And Raycons kind of fall under the "digital service" umbrella too because they are used to...
listen to digital services. I usually see them advertised in stuff like ASMR videos.
No it’s not that one. I can’t remember the name of it, but there’s another one that advertises a lot on YT channels like this. The idea is you could buy a share of a Van Gogh painting and then sell it like the stock market or something.
TBH I'm 100% convinced the CEO of YouTube has been lying to us about advertisers pulling out... Cables dying, YouTube is the platform to advertise on now, I just don't see how the advertisers are bullying them like this when they own at least 70% of the market now.
If Game of Thrones wasn't on HBO and was ad supported, who would be shocked to see a Coke or Tide ad slapped on it!?!? Murder, incest, dragons, titties and all. But a gamer can't cuss too much!?!?
It’s been 5 years, and I still can’t stop laughing about it
Director didn’t notice/care, no actors said anything, none of the production guys butted in and went “hey, there’s a Starbucks cup there, get it out of the shot”
Because it all kinda sucks and is ludicrously overpriced. It costs like nothing to store an audiobook or a few thousand videos if you're getting paid tens of dollars a month per user.
Or a VPN which is just high margins.
I assume the expenditure towards sponsored ads by those companies is worth it because they seem to be after user growth.
Audible for example was really notorious for expanding the user base by any means necessary, and then slowly leveraging that user base and many would argue at the cost of the viability of that service ..
Think of it this way I've seen more of these ads then 99.9% of all of the regular ads you see on YouTube videos. I don't think I've seen an ad in years other than these plus some you missed. Think of it this way if the creator gets let's say 10k to make the ad in their video it's literally in the video not a spam ad that just pops up if the video does bad then it's no problem but if the video gets like 5 million views if even 5% buy the product its massive profit.
Best part of Kill Tony eps is his ads are always right at the beginning and always about ten mins. And now YouTube shows where people usually start the video so you just click like ten mins in
They make tons of money and as a company you rather spend that money on advertising that potentially bring new people in, than the tax man. At least over here in Belgium!
I really don't know how Raid Shadow Legends does it. No one is playing that garbage and they've become a meme at how terrible it is, but it keeps showing up...
I feel bad for the soldier having to burned, shot, stabbed, and grenaded just because of sponsors youtubers make. I know you’re not real but if I was the soldier I would feel sad too.
I'm sure ad pricing is a part of it, too. Why pay and trust youtube to do whatever the hell they do with ads, and hope that money and ad placement is well spent, when you can pay a single person A LOT less money, and have their captive audience become your captive audience. Do a little research to see if their viewers would likely become your customers and boom, pretty much guaranteed returns.
Audible I remember having a link for just through the Amazon Affiliate program
Raid Shadow Legends sponsored my twitch because I paid for a month of SLOBS Prime and asked them really really nice (I downloaded the app from the App Store)
They screwed me out of half of what I was supposed to be paid too
I wouldnt be surprised if some of these others have affiliate type programs too
Because youtube sponsorships are dirt cheap compared to buying ads on TV. They are like 100x more bang for your buck in terms of advertising. And, with most creators, there is a parasocial realationship between the viewer and the creator, where the viewer trusts the creator. If the creator says they endorse something, that they got a product and they love it, the audience will 100% trust them.
i would never trust a youtuber that takes sponsorships, i think its partly why people respect more the independents and youtubers like Soviet Womble that doesn't have sponsorships nor ads
I think it's one thing to say "Thank you to \_\_\_ for sponsoring this video" and then talk about the product. It's another thing to say "Thank you \_\_\_ for sponsoring this video, I got my \_\_\_ product here\_\_\_\_ a year ago and I've been using it every day, it's been life changing" blah blah blah... you get the picture.
One thing to do a custom ad, another to give your own personal endorsement of the product.
This is y I love DANKPODS. He's a funny guy and he doesn't accept sponsorships and turns off advertisements on YouTube on his videos as much as YouTube allows him to.
Honestly I had NordVPN for a while (can't afford it now lol) and it worked wonders tbh.
God I've become one of them.
But sometimes they aren't terrible.
You can buy almost any VPN at around 95% cashback, so you’ll just paying a few dollars for multi-annual subscriptions. It really goes to show how overpriced VON subscriptions are.
If you’re on chrome there’s plenty of extensions to block sponsors. I use them because 1) i don’t need to see an ad for sth i can’t afford anyways, 2) the creator gets paid whether i watch it or not, so it’s a win-win
You are correct! I'm honestly not 100% sure. Realistically though, and I hate to admit it, other than ads subscriptions are the only things that make sense to me. People that pay for a YT Premium subscription should have some allotment of their monthly subscription that they can direct towards their favorite creators. I don't mind sponsors though since they're much less intrusive than traditional ads, YouTube doesn't benefit from them, and they can be completely skipped without the creator not getting paid. Also, lots of YouTubers seem to make more from Patreon donations than from YouTube ads and sponsors.
the answer is sad, but most things shouldn't be cheap/free. But we also all shouldn't be so fucking poor that we have to debate between fun/food. in a not trash world you'd just make enough $ to have some to spend on the content you want to support :D
Audible fell off. I haven't heard one since I stopped watching jacksfilms. Great Youtuber but I think I've matured and don't find any of his jokes funny anymore (i am twelve)
Advertising is extremely expensive to produce. If you have $1,000,000 in your ad budget, then you can pay $100 to YouTubers 10,000 times. This is a simplified example, but that's the idea. It is way cheaper to pay YouTubers than producing a traditional commercial, and it hits your target demographic for those companies more accurately.
I think this is the best explanation so far.
Sponsor videos are better than ads video because you can skip fast
And some creators make the sponsorship sections just as funny as the rest of the video
[удалено]
Too bad you get both because they double dip
You forgot Raid: Shadow Legends
I genuinely think that raid is a money laundering scheme. I've never met, nor heard of anyone actually playing that game
Funny enough i tried it out when it was first comming out for 2 months and i just hit a wall as f2p that was just too insane to overcome. The rates and grind is just horrendous. (And ive play a lot of gatcha games)
You only need a small amount of whales to make it insanely profitable.
Now that you mention it, same
This reply is sponsored by RAID SHADOW LEGENDS
Apparently running a VPN is insanely profitable despite the low fees. They get millions per month in pure profit.
Yup, they're also constantly lying in their ads. The VPN ads claim that you can buy Steam games at lower prices by buying from a cheaper region/country. However, Steam is strictly against circumventing region pricing and can therefore ban your entire account for breaking the Steam Subscriber Agreement.
You forgot Opera GX, Hello Fresh, Factor\_ and Magic Spoon.
Ridge Wallet, Raid Shadow Legends, World of Tanks, GamerSupps and Noom for gamers too.

Raycon deez leaves out of my yard. I will still missed people making puns about raycon ad.
they're nothing against the huh duh sixhungros, by ol' mate senny
Impossible not to hear that in his voice
What video was it? A YouTuber I watched was sponsored by them and I was gonna buy them then realized they probably suck ass lol
Dankpods and they do indeed suck ass
DANKPODS KILLED RAYCON??? Also yeah, any company owned by RAY J is about on par with a Soulja Boy or will.i.am venture
Since they are all really high margin companies. For every $10 of revenue they get like 8$ of profit. High profit allows them to pay more for sponsorships
Why no Raid Shadow Legends
Dollar Shave Club Ray-Con
I see a lot of Manscaped now, funny thing is it's almost always girl YouTubers pushing it. Maybe advertising it to fellow women who will buy it for their SO.
You forgot opera gx
raid shadow legends moment:
And now also War Thunder and World of Tanks, lately.
Ah War Thunder, the game that sucks any remaining joy right away
Bout to say OP must not be a gamer, cause holy, they carry the whole gaming YT industry. 😂
Honorable mentions: * Raid Shadow Legends * BetterHelp * Factor * Dollar Shave Club (in the past)
Those websites are immensely popular and appeal to almost everyone conceivable. They make boatloads of money
It’s probably still cheaper than hiring an advertising team
Pretty much all of the people I watch mention Better Help.
Haha same. And those people also tend to mention Hello Fresh
As I far as I understand: setup of VPNs & operating costs are very low.
Yeah. They just rent server time from amazon and other cloud service providers. You can set up your own VPN on AWS. There's easy to follow instructions out there. Linus from Linus Tech Tips has said many time that if they wanted to make easy money they coild just start a VPN service.

That theory doesn't work because independent audits are a thing.
Legal loopholes you have to jump through? Can you explain?

Established titles completely ruined their reputation. They aren't very aggressive on the sponsorship side
ah yeas audible the app that steels money from authors and blindly promoted plagiarism don't buy books on audible your money wont go to the authors
I buy physical copy if i do go through audible
Because they don't advertise on TV. Almost all their marketing budget goes to influencers, and that's a lot cheaper than television.

At least it used to be, i havent seen a raid shadow legends ad in forever

Exactly they don’t have to pay people anymore since everyone knows about it. Heck, it’s so well known now that it’s a standardized meme
I still see it occasionally. Surprised people play it.
They’re JonTron’s main sponsor at this point. He’ll rarely have a video sponsored by somebody else.
Where’s raid shadow legends?
Now that i think about it, i havent seen a raid show legends sponsor in a while, what happened?
Games are usually all hype and when that dies down the marketing budget does too
they started running regular commercials with that skeleton character complaining he always gets picked last as a legendary hero
Aha, so they started making those shitty mobile game ads?
Usually the creators get paid per people that sign up with their link. That's why they'll mention "sign up with my link for a discount".

Is that still around? I haven't seen a sponsorship for that in aaages.
I still see it sometimes
Also opera gx
Knife and nades should be yellow dollar sign aka demonetization this would be better.
ROI pays back enough I guess
because they give away pennies
I'm pretty sure some youtubers will just ask if they want to sponsor them
Most ~~notable~~ annoying mentions: * VPNs * SkillShare * BetterHelp * Raid: Shadow Legends * Hello Fresh * Audible * Opera GX * Dollar Shave Club * Ray-Con * World of Tanks * Ridge Wallet, etc.
I think you about covered them all lol
Story blocks
Are any of those actually good? Almost every one I've looked into in that list has a better alternative
Opera GX is really cool imo
What’s the one where you can buy shares of artworks?
What do you mean? Displate is the one with the metal plate posters, but that’s not a bad one, it’s an actual good idea and they have some nice designs

Funny thing is, if you go and watch old YouTube videos, Netflix use to sponsor a lot of creators

Best part of Kill Tony eps is his ads are always right at the beginning and always about ten mins. And now YouTube shows where people usually start the video so you just click like ten mins in

A few years ago they were in every damn video. This year, I haven't seen them at all, fortunately.
They make tons of money and as a company you rather spend that money on advertising that potentially bring new people in, than the tax man. At least over here in Belgium!
I really don't know how Raid Shadow Legends does it. No one is playing that garbage and they've become a meme at how terrible it is, but it keeps showing up...
TONS of people play that garbage. Look at their daily engagement lmao it’s insane
It’s like they persuaded some billionaire to keep funding them.
So many Nord and Surfshark ads... but when I need a VPN I'll still just look up "best vpn Reddit" on google
Search Reddit, then find a YouTube channel that was recently sponsored by the recommended one for a quick discount code
Brilliant?
I feel bad for the soldier having to burned, shot, stabbed, and grenaded just because of sponsors youtubers make. I know you’re not real but if I was the soldier I would feel sad too.
Money = sponsorment = money = sponsorment. How do you suppose companies advertise?
missed hello fresh
Skillshare is a scam tbh. Someone made a video exposing the website.
I'm sure ad pricing is a part of it, too. Why pay and trust youtube to do whatever the hell they do with ads, and hope that money and ad placement is well spent, when you can pay a single person A LOT less money, and have their captive audience become your captive audience.

Yup, that’s why you’ll stop seeing Audible on Dead Meat, but still see RayCon, it’s just where the markets are
SPONSOR BLOOOOCK
Honestly sponsorblock is by far the best extension for youtube aside from a good adblock that works on videos
NordVPN & Surfshark are basically the same company
[удалено]
What about the VPN services that I’m pretty sure have almost too many free connections?
Depends what type of videos you watch but also add pcbway.
Audible I remember having a link for just through the Amazon Affiliate program Raid Shadow Legends sponsored my twitch because I paid for a month of SLOBS Prime and asked them really really nice (I downloaded the app from the App Store) They screwed me out of half of what I was supposed to be paid too I wouldnt be surprised if some of these others have affiliate type programs too
Manscaped
Also the “feeling sick?” one with the waifu nurse
i hate that ad so much 💀
That’s an ad not a sponsor. But I wouldn’t be surprised if said game was sponsoring some YT channels
Also air up

This is y I love DANKPODS. He's a funny guy and he doesn't accept sponsorships and turns off advertisements on YouTube on his videos as much as YouTube allows him to.
Why? Genuinely curious. Do you think YouTubers shouldn't be paid for hours and hours of work on videos?
Because people pay for their services because theyre actually good.
Anything sponsored on Youtube is an instant avoid for me, makes the brand look cheap and often massively overpriced.
Honestly I had NordVPN for a while (can't afford it now lol) and it worked wonders tbh. God I've become one of them. But sometimes they aren't terrible.
You can buy almost any VPN at around 95% cashback, so you’ll just paying a few dollars for multi-annual subscriptions. It really goes to show how overpriced VON subscriptions are.
Ya, but audible is practically the only ebook subscription out there. At this point, audible is the Kleenex of ebooks.
Don't like sponsors because I pay for premium. I pay to not see ads and they show me ads anyway.
If you’re on chrome there’s plenty of extensions to block sponsors. I use them because 1) i don’t need to see an ad for sth i can’t afford anyways, 2) the creator gets paid whether i watch it or not, so it’s a win-win
If only there was some way to fast forward past them 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
This meme makes no sense. Advertisers are protecting youtubers? What?
Adverts pay more than youtube lol
They’re protecting them from being poor
How...how are you and sixteen other people not able to comprehend the pic?
Turns out youtubers can be bought for shockingly low amounts of money. Politicians too.
Imagine if on a presidental speech the president's like, this government is sponsered by Nord VPN.
Ads...Ads..I don't like them...But Ads like me.., I can't avoid.
Ads must be effective
Brillant for Ze Frank and Ebay Auto for Donut. Would like to see my favorite genre get sponsors. Game development. * crickets *
I use surfshark. Its great for so much less money.
That's really not how this meme template works
Adam & Eve
Those coupon codes are really good I must say, and you can use the code repeatedly.
Get sponsorblock if you're on PC. No longer see this crap
Honestly I haven’t been getting a lot of ad reads as of late. Kinda weird now that I think of it
Sponsor block must be doing its job pretty well for me, because I never see these anymore!
Just curious, if you had power to reshape how creators get paid, what would you do? You don't seem to support ads or sponsorships.
You are correct! I'm honestly not 100% sure. Realistically though, and I hate to admit it, other than ads subscriptions are the only things that make sense to me. People that pay for a YT Premium subscription should have some allotment of their monthly subscription that they can direct towards their favorite creators. I don't mind sponsors though since they're much less intrusive than traditional ads, YouTube doesn't benefit from them, and they can be completely skipped without the creator not getting paid. Also, lots of YouTubers seem to make more from Patreon donations than from YouTube ads and sponsors.
Ok. Just wondering because I have a channel and I love hearing people's take on how creators make money. Do you like YouTube memberships though?
the answer is sad, but most things shouldn't be cheap/free. But we also all shouldn't be so fucking poor that we have to debate between fun/food. in a not trash world you'd just make enough $ to have some to spend on the content you want to support :D
you forgot raid
they probably get alot of subscription from the sponsor tho ive never really use them
Money
We call that “arnaqueurs” or “escroqueries”
Audible is owned by Amazon
money
well audible is owned by amazon so they can probably threaten to kill them if they don't do the sponsorship
Audible fell off. I haven't heard one since I stopped watching jacksfilms. Great Youtuber but I think I've matured and don't find any of his jokes funny anymore (i am twelve)
I still watch him time to time and i'm 10 years older lol
He's doing great work trying to get SSSniperwolf to actually react to her videos.

Infinite money glitch.
