If the creator is truly deceiving the user to try to get them to watch an ad or building a parasocial relationship in order to increase the chances of conversion (which is your claim), then I don't see how continuing to watch their content minus the ads is any better for the user. SponsorBlock doesn't address either of these points. > Sponsorships encourage deception (tricking the user into not skipping) and building up parasocial relationships with the audience to abuse their trust, the worst of the influencer world That link doesn't address the opinion at all, because you claimed that SponsorBlock is not designed to simply block sponsorship ads. An example is dbrand, which pays many top tech people to randomly mention their name in reviews, usually without much disclosure. I want to make a wiki-like system for organising more precise biases in the future as well, and allow people to know which where each opinion in a video comes from.Īnother fact I'll point out is that we sometimes get complaints that certain sponsor sections are incorrect, even though they totally are correct due to them not knowing it is paid promotion. Full videos don't skip anything, but just inform the viewer what to watch out for. With "full video" labels ( ), I've started to delve into the fixing bad declarations world. > It's purpose is convenience, not any higher moral objective Some of their videos will do it well, and some do it poorly. But unfortunately, this is not usually consistent. There exist some that have clear transitions, declare in the first sentence that it is a sponsor, repeat at the end that it is a sponsor, and say explicitly in the ad-read that it is not their opinion but a script. > Do you believe there are any Youtubers who have acted ethically in accepting sponsorships? I can't say that either case is worse than the other, but they are bad for different reasons. With podcasts, it seems people are now trying to get the worst of both worlds, with dynamic advertisements from a pool based on who you are + the ads are read out by the podcast creator. Do you believe that sponsorships are worse that targeted digital advertising?
