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.
