Comment on Youtube is allowing Youtubers to advertise their merch even for premium users

  I mean it is related to the creator and therefore to the video. An option to disable it would be nice, but I dont think this is as bad as watching actual ads

    It’s literally an ad

    Considering how every single video description is already one giant ad these days, maybe the creators need to chill with their ads.

  I’d argue it is related to the video, because the channel who is selling the merch also made the video you are watching.

    I am here for a submarine video not for the channel. If I want to support the creator, I can go to Patreon.

    I am fine if creators use the description section, but this giant section that I cannot hide, which is made by YouTube, make the difference.

    Your argument is like you drink Pepsi why are you upset if you see an ad from Pepsi.

  If you don’t sub to gamersnexus but look in the description and see the first line is their shop link.
  Is it then an ad?

    Advertisement:

    "a notice or announcement in a public medium promoting a product, service, or event or publicizing a job vacancy. "

    I’m not sure if a link can be considered an announcement, but otherwise based on the definition I would say it’s a gray area and could be argued either way. Though I would tend to say it isn’t an advertisement but a link to one.
