Veritasium got on my shit list when he started beef with electroboom, was fucking dead ass wrong, and then acted like a smug ass about it. It was about that time he started in with the clickbait "you are wrong about XYZ" videos.

Alec Steele... I don't mind the underwear commercials for reasons. He knows what he's doing. I don't mind it when the sponsor ads come with some effort instead of just "hey, now I'm going to lie to you about VPNs for two minutes."

I don’t mind it when the sponsor ads come with some effort instead of just “hey, now I’m going to lie to you about VPNs for two minutes.”

If you want the ultimate in putting effort into shilling for your sponsor, check out Map Men: they actually take the time to put together a full-blown skit for each for their sponsored segments.

Here for example:

It's honestly the only Youtube channel I will disable SponsorBlock for, and watch the sponsored segments of, just for the entertainment values. All the other Youtubers can fuck right off.
