Get sponsorblock extension on website or on revanced if you're on mobile.
I haven't seen a sponsored segment in ages.
That is the correct answer... If you don't like ADs, get Sponsorblock and make them go away. Another useful browser extension is uBlock, that'll get rid of most other ads and trackers.
Thanks! YouTube is watchable again!
I love this extension, but for OP's problem it could actually be a negative. If their regular video content is being influenced by who sponsors them, it's worth knowing who the sponsor is to help you make that judgment. If you don't find out that the video that talks about sleep quality was sponsored by a pharmacy selling you melatonin, you might not realise that potentially the only reason they talked about sleep quality to begin with was because it's useful to their sponsor's interests.
Now, this particular example is relatively innocuous, because we know that actual medical research does point to the importance of good quality sleep. But it's not hard to think of examples that are a little more insidious.
Good point
But the YouTuber who put the sponsor segment there assumed everyone would see it. So I think they'd have to be pretty shameless to have their video content be so obviously influenced by the ad. Ok sometimes it's more insidious but come on. People will catch it and call them a sellout.
Personally I don't care. I'm here to watch the video and ads don't work on me 99.9999% of the time. Because I associate them with bad products and services, if your product or service is good it'll sell itself. I trust word of mouth way more.

FYI: "to add" with two "d" comes from "addition" and "ad" with one "d" is for advertisment, the plural is "ads" with a single "d".
Everytime
That's not a word.
Downvote, but it's still not a word.
Correcting grammar and spelling is how all y'all "casually converse"?
Wow.
What a pathetic culture.
And calling people pathetic makes the conversation flow where you're from?
