YouTube Ad Reads

Date: January 27th, 2025

TV commercials are like 20 to 30 seconds of a skit that half-mentions a product and mostly aims to entertain you. YouTube sponsor reads are like literally 90 seconds of reading bulletpoints about a product with no entertainment value tacked on whatsoever.

Obviously independent creators who aren’t running successful Patreons or whatever need sponsors but could you make a skit about the product that conveys all this damn information? Entertain the viewer. Tie it into your subject matter. Get creative. There is way too much Consumerist Infodump polluting shit because most creators are too lazy to think of something worthwhile to do with sponsor.

Believe me– you’d probably attract MORE sponsors if you made them go “oh wow, they actually integrated us into their show instead of halting everything and making us something people skip past.”

TV doesn’t do much better than the internet these days but that is one way they’ve got 90% of you absolutely beat on. You gotta give a shit, dawg.
