It's like I can feel myself detach from whatever topic I'm listening to as I expect it to be a lead up for Raid Shadow Legends.

It's like I'm gonna disengage from serious things because I'm just waiting to see how they are going to ask for money.

I get it's to keep engagement, but it's doing the opposite. I don't want you to slip between conversation into a commercial like that's not creepy as fuck. It's like the Truman show, but nobody's even watching you. I dunno, it's not fun out here.

Yeah, I feel like I'm being deceived. Just tell me you're going to give me an ad and ask me to watch it so it'll help your views/algorithm.

Don't make up a story or pivot from the original topic.

The reason they don't do this is because it doesn't work. Nobody wants to watch an ad

I agree they could just no-effort it or something, I prefer the ones that are blunt, or a little surreal in a way that clearly tips off they don't want you to buy the schlock, but best is just not seeing them. Ultimately they've gotta make a living and that's the way youtubers do it, and having good metrics helps spread their message in addition to helping with sponsors, so idk. Just as much as they as a creator could simply not do embedded sponsorships or do them in a way you like, you could also just not watch content that does that, or use sponsorblock or smth. Either way its an individual solution
