why do sponsors insist on putting their ads at the start of the video where the viewer is at the point in time where they want to exit out of a video THE LEAST.
"yeah im gonna pause this video from a content creator i like to click on this link" t. nobody at all

@mono If it's at the end everyone will leave before the read. It makes sense.
@rhinocock yes, but the people who stay are a lot more likely to click because they are not interrupting something they want to do

What is an ad?
Of course I just had do insert an adblock joke, but youtube is just amazing. There are about 10 creators I would love to sponsor. So, whenever I think about creating some magical exception for their videos, I realize that all of them are demonetized anyway, so the money would still go only to youtube.
@LukeAlmighty @mono If you really want to give them money ads aren't the way regardless. They receive barely anything from those ads. Through a few bucks at their Patreon.

this is about sponsor spots. sponsors have rules about where they want their spots, and many explicitly specify that it has to go at the beginning.
this is a short sighted business decision that only makes sense when the audience doesn't have the ability to double tap the right arrow to skip it.

@mono @LukeAlmighty There's no difference, fundamentally. I'm not making any claims to the legitimacy of marketing but there is a method to it.
