I'd love to understand the downvote venom, but what what do you call in-content sponsorships after you've paid for YouTubeRed, if not ads? Are they not advertisements for products? Or ads only count, if they're auctioned words from Google? What's the new definition.

They're not ads that are controlled by Google/YouTube, so I guess I'm able to view them as pragmatically different. They also don't bother me much because they're generally presented by the content creator that I'm interested in watching, rather than being completely unrelated.
