Not an ad, but pretty questionable for a YouTuber to put a plug for their sponsor as the frontmost text, when many of us use sponsorblock to actively avoid seeing such content.

At least it's a good warning not to click that link.

Who reads youtube description texts? On youtube, that is, it's lemmy who puts the thing in such a prominent place. The sponsor segment is towards the end and has a count-down bar so it's easy to skip, and Ryan specifically says to not buy that stuff if you don't need it.
