And does it even work? I feel like the only person on YouTube who has a clue about sponsorship is LTT. Their spots are like 10 seconds which is short enough that sometimes I'll be too lazy to skip it. In contrast to those 2 minute segments where I 100% skip every time.

Unless the goal of the spot is literally just "Our name exists!!" which tbf it probably is for all those VPN ads, it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.

Surely nobody watches the full ad segments?
