This is a link post Blimey. I didn't realise this.
I know some on here resent F9's showy/OTT/high production but I had no idea this is how Google and Meta were making so much revenue.

This is a normal post I quite like a lot of F9's content, although I could do without seeing so much of his hare lip.
But this is just a thinly veiled 9 minute ad for the fact that F9 sells MTB accessories on his website. He does a lot of shit like this. There's an even worse one which was a glaringly obvious sponsored video for an action came. It was fucking embarrassing.

This is a normal post With 2.26M subscribers, I suspect he's probably doing not too bad.
I'm fine with these kinds of content creators flogging their wares, but this is a bit much.
Alec over at Technology Connections can make a genuinely interesting video, full of completely relevant content, and stick in a quick 2 minute 'buy my socks' bit. It's unobtrusive, honest, and works.
This cunt makes a 9 minute video of him fucking about on his bike, peppered with shots of his webstore, whilst monologuing about shady monetisation pratices in promotional campaigns, and tops it off with a 'buy my MTB accessories' message at the end.

The whole video is a fucking ad.

I do love the production value of F9's work, but i've see two too many of these types of videos from him now. It's grabby as fuck.

There's a great plugin called sponsorblock that automatically skips past all the self-promotion and shilling in YouTube videos. I wonder what it would make of this one.

I was however annoyed at how good he was on that bike.

This is a normal post It's a store that sells motorbike kit and bike bits
some people are angry pants that they're making videos that aren't just a guy standing next to a motorbike talking about the motorbike for no money but very slick, glossy and sneakily plugging the stuff they sell. They do tyre reviews, helmets, gloves etc but this one's showing how Google and Meta basically sell advertising but because they know when someone will buy something anyway jumping in just before they do then charge a huge ad fee. Using their own bike bits as an example.

I can see why purists are unhappy, but I really enjoy their stuff.

This is a normal post I don't see why they should be unhappy,
squashing tomatoes for a living sounds like a great job.
