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.

I get that you gotta pay the bills but please just turn to the camera and say "I am going to read some ad copy now"

Some More News is pretty good at that. They have a special border and are very explicit about it too. Poor Cody chugging AG-1 for us to keep the lights on

Agreed, I like that the suffering is made clear.

Hasan's pitch for amazon every hour is obnoxious for this. How is it that non-lefty streamers have more qualms about giving amazon free PR than he does? Someone like AvoidingThePuddle pushes back against every stupid gimmick that is foist upon him.
