Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

It's disturbing how even left-leaning YouTubers try to weave in ad plugs. (hexbear.net)

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.

If someone is making a video on the tendency for the rate of profit to fall and decide to sneak in an ad about earbuds or VPNs, that doesn’t seem to really affect the integrity.

If you’re doing a video on privacy or the best earbuds and your sponsors are one of those, obviously it’s a conflict of interest. Likewise if you make a video on socialism and your sponsor is The Bill Gates Foundation lol

I think the conversational pivot is the hard part for me. Like I want to listen and take the person seriously and you suddenly realize they are talking about raycon or whatever. I just want a specific delineation between ad and video.
