I dislike them due to the deceptiveness in many modern ones (neglecting to mention that they are sponsored). It still is obvious to most viewers, but not to people not familiar.

What channels are you watching? The channels I follow state "This video is sponsored by..."


Here is the video that made me start working on SponsorBlock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfgT6zx4k3Q

Here is a thread where I explain: https://www.reddit.com/r/kurzgesagt/comments/ca7vub/first_de...

Note how the only mention of "Thanks to Dashlane for supporting this video!" is below the Read More button in the top comment.

It really hurts me because I love Kurzgesagt, and I know they can do better. I don't like how much leverage theses advertisers have.
